maintaing a vehicle
« on: April 28, 2011, 10:33:57 pm »
Two questions here. I have a  07 Acura I hope to have for a long time. First question, does Krown oil really work? I have a stone chip in the door. What are some options so it doesnt rust out in a few years?

Thanks!

Use touch-up paint on the chips.

I've used it since 2003 and my car isn't rusting yet. You have to get it done yearly. I think $10 a month is worth the price to keep the car longer.

First question, does Krown oil really work?

I first used Krown on the 1990 Tercel when it was bought new and that car was 16 years old when it was sold rust-free. At 21 years, I believe the second owner is still driving it.

I'm using it on my 1999 Honda and it is rust-free.

We tested Krown and two other products at work for creep, corrosion protection (salt spray chamber), etc and it came out on top and did very well...I could have told them that.

Do a search on this forum. BTW, you want to use Krown T-40, not Krown T-32.

This is after 11 winters...

You just have to find the dealers that aren't cheap with the product.  I've been to some Krown locations that really soak the car well, while another I've been to was really cheap and I found many dry locations under the hood and body.
