Deacon 1357 Report post Posted May 31, 2018 My intention is to keep my 86 indefinitely. With this in mind, now it's just over 5 years old, I decided some rust protection would be a good idea. I've heard a lot about Krown Rust Protection and it seems to come highly rated. The UK agent is fairly close to me so I have taken the car in today to be protected. The process takes around 4 hours. They're going to take pictures as they go and have it up on the ramp when I collect it so I can take some further pictures to share so I'll update this post further later. 1 Lauren reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deacon 1357 Report post Posted June 1, 2018 I'm waiting for them to send the pictures through of the process but will add those as soon as I have them. Below is a picture I took this morning of the rear underside. The product itself basically stays 'wet' as you can see on the picture hopefully. 1 Lauren reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deacon 1357 Report post Posted June 2, 2018 They're happy to offer us an open day so I'll put another post up later for people to express interest. It'll be a Saturday or Sunday in July or August and they would do someone's car while we are there if someone fancies it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cost is £252 including VAT. They recommend that if the car is daily driven you have just the underside retreated after two years and the whole lot redone after four.

Cerastes 204 Report post Posted June 3, 2018 Hmm looks ok. Do they clean it underneath before spraying that stuff on first though? because there may already be build up of rust already? And aren't the wheel arches plastic? or maybe they just being thorough and spraying it so that it goes in the nooks and crannies. Also spraying under the boot lid? I wouldn't have thought that would have gotten rust, it's not exposed to the elements. I'll probably be interested in doing this.

nerdstrike 186 Report post Posted June 13, 2018 I did some DIY waxoyl application a few years back. Absolutely worth paying somebody else to do the job. The only thing they can't really protect are the hot parts, because the coating gets runny and drips off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
