| RE: Rust Proofing | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | MoneyPit1946 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I know what Scotty said about his mothers car in Buffalo, but I don't own a Toyota. For the last 25 years, I've bounced around with GM and Ford and I've used Krown oil spray on every one of them and I've never seen any sign of rust ever and I only get mine done every second year which means I'm not eligible for warranty but I really don't care. I know this products works. I can tell how good it looks by comparing vehicles of the same year as mine and how much rust they have. undercoating is cheap. Cars are NOT!! 🙂 | |||||

| I have had a rear subframe replaced before. If I remember correctly the job took a couple hours. The easiest way to estimate the cost is to ask the shop how many hours they think it will take them and find out what their labour rate is. Those were good cars and this one probably has sentimental value to you so it may be worth it to put some money into. If you decide to go ahead with the repair then afterwards, to make it last, I would undercoat it every year with an oil based undercoating such as Rust Check, Krown, or Fluid Film. I use Rust Check myself. | |||||

| I'm attempting to preserve a used pick up truck in New England. Wondering what your thoughts on spray in bed liners and NH oil undercoating are as a preservation method? For spray in bed liners, any specific ones you would recommend? I will be installing bed rail caps and a tonneau cover soon as well as mud flaps. Thank you. | |||||

| @jetchavz At 90mph the coolant tank pressure may activate the overflow valve. The coolant would drip and create a smell with the plastics and the undercoating. | |||||

| Answer to: Car washes - how much and any downsides? | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | MoneyPit1946 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... concerned. I only wash my car (on the rinse cycle) (never use a car wash with anything that touches your car) when it's dirty because rust starts from the inside so washing doesn't do much to prevent rust. I don't wax my vehicles (vehicles are clear coated these days) but I have had them buffed after a few years of ownership. If you google Krown you will see that even if your vehicle has started to rust a bit, Krown will stop it from getting worse. The "dripless" types of oil undercoating don't work as well because the oil needs to flow inside the car body ... | |||||

| The exhaust header/down pipe cold be getting pretty HOT at those high RPMs and possibly heating up that undercoating. That little spark engine has to be SCREAMING at that speed. Not made for that on a consistent basis. | |||||
| Answer to: Rust proofing underspary | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Chuck Tobias | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If concerned about winter salt you could elect to spray underneath with Fluid Film or similar product before the start of each winter season. The $1500 "undercoating" offered by the stealership is clearly a ripoff. It's probably the same stuff you can buy in Walmart for a few dollar per can. | |||||

| Any undercoating should be fine and all cars now-a-days have ionized paint from the factory that bond to the metal as a base coat for the frame of the car. It's dunked into it right at the start and that usually enough to prevent rust on its own. | |||||

| Hello world! Quebec, Canada here and the snow is coming aboot. I dont feel to wait to go do the undercoating in a "special place". I just bought 6 cans of fluid film (regular). You think just taking the time to spray the whole thing under + all the cracks and holes should be good for this winter? Planning to do it every fall Thanks in advance. | |||||

| Spray the underside with a rust preventative like Fluid Film, Woolwax, Waxoyl, or similar product. In a lot of heavily-salted areas repair shops will do it for you if you can't do it yourself. (Don't use rubberized-type undercoatings. Those tend to trap moisture which promotes rust.) | |||||
