Rust Prevention? (1 Viewer)

[Taksang]

Hey guys,

Got a 2001 LC and would like to prep the undercarriage against rust. Winters are not severe in Mid-TN but roads occasionally salted. Any undercoat/spray products recommended for a Southern truck? Experience with shops or coatings? Frequent washes enough? Thanks!

Once metal has started to Corrode all bets are off on the Adhesion and it's nearly Impossible to get to bare metal which is required for 100% Adhesion.

If you have Repainted something and had it rust again this is the Problem.

That is why an Oxygen Barrier is Preffered over an Encapsulator but they essentially keep the Oxygen from Oxidizing. Encapsultor in theory would be for life where as oil need Reapplied.

Encapsulator is Poor for Moving Parts as Rust will Infiltrate.

Encapsulator is Poor for Anything that Needs Removed ie Fastners as it is designed to last forever.

Corrode or Surface rust ?

I've had great experience with Krown if there's a dealer in your area. $140 to spray the car with a thin creeping oil. They spray inside the rockers and door panels too, it's quite thorough. Get it done once a year and your car won't rust.

Thin Creeping Oil = All the Used Gear Oil, Tranny Oil, and Diff Oil.

Fluid Film is Consistency of Mayonnaise and it creeps nicely.
