| Eric did a "5 Months Later" video after the Krown application . He addresses your brake rotor/pads question at 17 minutes into the video. ((he says, no problem)) Krown says their process won't void any manufacturer's warranty. This is from the FAQ section of the link to their website which I provided in my first response. So I'd contact Toyota first and ask them about your warranty concern. As for my thoughts on their process I haven't seen a more thorough application process so I'm impressed . Of course you should do your own research and come to your own conclusion. | |||||

| I agree with you. Now is the time to begin your corrosion prevention. You can't wait until rust begins and then try to arrest it. If you live in an area where you have snow and they salt the roads you have to get proactive and prevent rust from starting. You aren't going to get the rust prevention you need using spray cans no matter how good the product. For example, here's a professional (Eric O) applying Fluid Film in a shop. You won't be able to get that kind of coverage using spray cans. If I had a brand new 4Runner I'd see if there was a Krown Rust Prevention franchise in my area. And since your 4Runner is brand new, you'd qualify for their guarantees. Here's a link to their website where you can see locations and pricing. And again, here's Eric O taking his own Toyota Tundra to a Krown franchise to have it rust proofed 1st video is the sales pitch from the Krown guy and Q&A from Eric. 2nd video is the application process. | |||||

| Take a look and see if it is or not. My 5 years old Auris is factory-undercoated. As @hixster mentioned, and Scotty several times, Toyota implements rust protection during manufacturing process. | |||||

| I'm not sure if it is already coated from the factory, but it seems like a good practice to prevent rust developing from the get go. | |||||

| If it works, it works. {black}:idontknow: Cooking oil is pretty thin so it'll wash off quickly. It won't be as durable as commercial products. Especially the waxes. (some of which are natural by the way. Comes from sheeps wool) | |||||

| It's mixed with oil, it won't rust. Oil is hydrophobic. As long as it's the right grade of oil (more like a tar which is semi-solid as opposed to liquid oil) it's fine. Just keep reapplying it regularly. | |||||

| I use the CRC heavy duty marine corrosion inhibitor, aka Cosmoline on all my cars. I live in the catskill mountains near Albany New York. The roads are like driving on salt once the snow starts falling. So far it holds up well. I buy used cars, and spray it on before winter. The initial coating takes a bit to get it done, but then each year I just check for any rust, and touch it up. The only places that usually need an extra bit are places that road debris hits, like wheel wells. So far I am happy with it. As for using it on a brand new Toyota, I may not. Monitor it each year, and if any rust starts to form, I would clean it off and slather it in cosmoline. | |||||

| That's because almost everything else that's industrial made doesn't really ever leave the house. I made a clamp in my Industrial Processes class in college, and I put a coating of oil on it after it was finished. Rust still took place, it's just regular carbon steel. After a year, it started rusting. I put a coating of electroless nickel and it permanently stopped, I worked at a plating company at the time. It was always kept indoors, it's actually in my house. Your car is worlds different, it's exposed to the elements each every time you drive, and you drive at 35 mph+. Any nicks or dings will harm the coating, and, being so thin, you'll to do it so many times in a season you'll want to pull your hair out, lol. Personally, I would rather use Fluid Film or something similar. Cooking oil is way too thin. | |||||

| Can cooking oil be sprayed onto the bottom of the car as an alternative to chemical products to help with the rust prevention and spread? I've tried coating metal parts on many non-car items exposed to heavy humidity and water with cooking oil and it has held up much better than I imagined. There is 0 rust after years from the date of application and the coating hasn't worn off either. It seems to me that a coating of oil should do the same thing as any other industrial equivalent. My motivation for exploring cooking oil vs. the chemical heavy products is to minimize pollution they cause when off-roading for example. At least the cooking oil is harmless and can be reapplied at short intervals. I live in the rust belt by the way. My concern is that it may create a sticky surface where salt and debris can be trapped under the car and produce the opposite effect, creating more rust issues. Thanks for your thoughts. | |||||

| Thank you. I will look into Cosmoline and Woolwax (I think Woolwax is the US version of Waxoyl). My main concern (other than $) for the NH Oil Boss Wax is the fact that it dries onto the surface (though it is mixed with oil). Wondering if this would accelerate rust. | |||||

| Sounds a lot like cosmoline to me. That is what I use, and I am near albany, ny in the mountains. My car was basically rust free when I got here, and only the spots that have been hit hard by rocks or other debris still have the coating. I just clean off any light rust after winter and put some more on. Before winter I will hit the high spots with another coat just to make sure, but so far after two winters my 15 year old GX470 is doing great. The military pack all kinds of stuff for long term storage, or traveling overseas. They used it in world war two to make sure vehicles and weapons would not rust going over seas. It is great when you have a clean surface, the downside is it does not creep as easily as something like fluid film, so inside frames is a bit harder. However, once coated on the inside of a frame, I imagine it would stay there protecting the metal for a very long time. | |||||

| I've used Fluid Film for several years and it does help retard corrosion. However it can wash off and needs to be reapplied every year. (In fact I'll be doing that over the next few weeks for my winter use vehicles.) I never heard of the product you described, but it sounds similar to Waxoyl. | |||||
| Answer to: Will transmission fluid work as an undercoating fluid? | 14Relevance | 3 years ago | nlord | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If you want something that will really stick and last years, look up cosmoline. The military has used it about 150 years to protect all kinds of things against hard salt water. I got my cars frames coated with it, so far so good. | |||||

| Well realize it's extremely thin oil and it generally won't cling on for all that long. It's made for lubricating. Not for coding rusting steel. You better off getting WD-40 spray that's made for that. They have a special body spray | |||||
