cskmom Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Anyone had this done to their DJ? I have an appointment tomorrow to get it done for the CVP DJ 2014 purchased in March. Cost is $129 with Krown rustproofing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinbill Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I purchased this along with undercoating when I purchased my '13 DJ R/T. The dealer did the work trough a 3rd party; I don't know the company. It reekd for about a week and some of the coating did drip onto our garage floor while it was curing [something the dealer didn't tell me to watch for]. I hope you had a better experience. I don't think I would do it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd caution anyone from getting any 3rd party Service Contracts or protection plans. Chrysler Canada nor the dealership has any control over 3rd parties which can lead to some unpleasant surprises for the Customer.

HotRodLincoln Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 We just had ours undercoated with fluid-film. Guaranteed to prevent rust. We do it to all our vehicles once a year. My 03 Silverado that I just recently sold had ZERO surface rust underneath....and certainly no rust anywhere else. Great stuff and the best $125 you'll spend to protect your new Dodge.

B4ZINGA Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 I'm considering having it done. I haven't heard of anyone in the US doing it, however all of my Canadian car club friends rave about Krown and have their daily drivers done every year. There is a Krown dealer in Windsor, not too far from where I am in Metro Detroit. There is also a company called Ziebart that is only a few miles from me who also does rust-proofing. I'm hoping to find out more about them to decide if they should do it, or if I should grab my passport and head south of the border (What? Detroit is the only major US city NORTH of the US-CAN border!). My Journey is the first vehicle I've purchased that hasn't yet experienced the ravages of winter, so I'd like to give it its best shot.

I have read that Krown may ruin rubber seals....you might want to look into that before you have this done. https://www.google.ca/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=Krown+damage+rubber+seals Edited October 7, 2014 by Journey_SeXT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probak118 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I understand the reason for wanting a system which may only require one treatment etc... and a touch-up here and there. But, I have always done the old oil spray from Ontario Stop Rust ( Windsor Ontario) for over 25 years now. I let them tell me what combination of product to use and where ( standard / dripless) figured they have seen enough to know. For about $100 , I only do it every other year and have NEVER had a rust issue. If it works, why try and fix it ? Just let your car sit on the road for 4 -5 days then, wash it looking for any surface with extra oil seeping from drip holes. Wife talked me into buying that 12 volt system in the new Chevy Trax bought in August. Guaranteed for life against any rusting but, again why fix what was not broke ? But, it is her car, we will see.

dhh3 Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 Every new car I purchase I have permanent undercoating applied. No need for rustproofing. I use Ziebart, and have never had issues, other than the smell never seems to go away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya Fluid Film is good stuff the navy uses that to coat interiors of panels on aircraft. I believe the airframers remove and reapply it about every 56 days maybe little more but the stuff is pretty tough really it can go year easy im sure.

Journey_SeXT Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) Can't think of a better way to throw money away... I use to think that too until I see cars that are a little over 5 years old with rust around the wheel wells. In the snowbelt region where they use salt on the roads it's a definitely a good idea to have done if you are planning to keep the car for a long time.

OhareFred Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 I haven't hadrustproofing done to any of my cars since the 90's, never had rust either. Traded my 2000 (which I got in mid 99) Durango in for the DJ, not a speck of rust. Chicago uses tons of salt. I just wash the car when weather permits in the winter.
