Forgot to mention.

Get it sprayed in the morning and then let most of it drip off at work or at the mall.

I leave my car parked on the street for at least a week before parking it in the driveway.
And those drips are no longer to be seen after the snow has melted away in the spring.

Good point

I had my truck done on Monday.
I left it on the street for a couple of nights. Last night I parked in my driveway.
Now my driveway looks like an oil slick.

Just to finish this thread off.......did the Krown on Tuesday. Looks like good stuff. Parked in front of a rabid Liberal's house I don't like (the Liberal, not the house) and was disappointed with the limited amount of drippage.

I know it is. Twenty-five years of using the product with past cars 15 and 16 years old.

They use about 2 to 3 liters so I have been told. You ought to see the street in front of my house. I sprayed 2 cars there. Looks like a war zone...but I have rust-free cars.

Come over to my place. you can still see the stains on the street.
My interlocking looks like someone dumped a couple litres of transmission fluid.

Followup on the Corrosion Free stuff I had done on the truck. Done the 3rd wk of November. It seems to travel to all the nooks and crannies but it dripped a bit for about a week. I had the driveway repaved last year and in June had it re-sealed so hopefully most of the stains will disappear in time.

We would have used Burlington but after being kept on hold for a long time, it was a month before the first appointment. Krown on Laird got us in right away.

Jim, you mean Oakville?

While it's a done deal with Ronnie, I know of a former racer and now driving instructor Ian Law who still daily drives his 1982 Volvo GLT 2-door, he is sponsored by Rust Check so his car is done every fall, the story below was a few years ago when the car hit 800,000 kilometers. I also saw this car myself that year, it is really that clean and rust free.

Pretty sure he still has it, he's not getting rid of it.

However, there is always a right price for just about anything!

Unless their formulation changed since we tested Krown, Rust Check and another one or two products in our DND labs, the Rust Check did not come out on top. The Krown was the winner.

Really, ....rust like death are going to happen, I think all the products are all good, you roll the dice, if you keep up with the respray regiment and have no rust, you're the winner.
