Krown is designed to slow down or inhibit corrosion on vehicles. It is a petroleum based product with rust inhibitors containing no solvents. In fact the Krown product is environmentally safe, contains no toxins, is non-flammable, is non-reactive, is non-corrosive, can be sprayed in any weather, remains active, and is not WHMIS controlled.

The product must get into the seams and around spot welds to work effectively. It is moisture that causes corrosion, so an effective rust inhibitor needs to be thin enough to penetrate anywhere that water can. After the product has penetrated these areas, the excess product drips off. The majority of the dripping occurs within 24-48 hours with very little, if any, dripping after that point. Don't worry Krown is environmentally-friendly.

Krown is sprayed in every corner of the vehicle and as it contacts metal, it lifts the moisture off and out of seams.  It then continues to repel moisture by setting up a moisture resistant bond on the surface of the metal.

If your vehicle has never been protected, then the best time to spray it is right now. From a corrosion point of view, the corrosion process is most active in the spring and summer months due to the increase in temperature. However, an annual application of Krown, regardless of the time of year it is applied in, will provide 12 months of protection against corrosion.

Krown technicians go to training seminars every year to learn how to spray as well as to receive updates on the new techniques for current vehicles. Training videos demonstrating the proper application process are also used to ensure that the correct procedure for application is performed on all vehicles. We are the only company in the industry with this comprehensive training program.
After your vehicle is sprayed with Krown at one of our locations, your vehicle receives a wash. We are cleaning the excess product off of the windows and painted surfaces where the product is not active. The rust inhibitor itself cannot be removed from the metal with soap and water.

Many companies use coating products that are designed to cover over areas that are susceptible to rust. These products may look nice but they do not provide adequate protection against corrosion. For example, these types of coatings can be breached by abrasion or chipping. When this happens, moisture can enter in under the coating and become trapped against the vehicle surface. In this situation the coating will actually accelerate corrosion rather than prevent it. Krown by comparison is self-healing and is constantly creeping, remaining active to continuously repel moisture and keep it away from the metal surface. In addition, unlike coating-type products, Krown penetrates into even the tightest seams and spot welds delivering a much more effective and comprehensive protection. One final difference is the added benefit that Krown offers of lubricating many moving parts on a vehicle such as door locks, brake cables, power antennas, etc. Coating products cannot do this.

To ensure that your vehicle is adequately protected, it is essential to have it treated every year. Especially these days when extremely aggressive road chemicals are in use for de-icing our roads, make sure you come in for a treatment every year.
Yes. Krown offers both new and used warranties on vehicles that qualify. We believe that our warranty program is second to none. Click on the "warranty" page in the bottom navigation for more information on our new and used warranty policy.
Undercoating is an old technology designed to cover the exposed surfaces of your vehicle with a wax or tar based coating. While these undercoating products look good at a glance, they are not truly effective in protecting your vehicle. Undercoating products do not have the ability to creep and penetrate in the seams, spot welds and other hard to access areas of your vehicle like Krown will. These are the areas the rust is most likely to form! Also, as these coatings wear, crack and become damaged they can actually trap moisture against the metal surfaces of your vehicle and accelerate corrosion. Many people classify Krown as an undercoating or rust proofing product, but Krown's unique formulation is able to protect your vehicle in ways that traditional undercoating cannot!
Most manuals for Hybrids specifically state no rust proofing is to be applied. This is due to the fact that most rust proofing products are designed to leave a heavy coating. These coating type products can cover the sensors underneath and actually lead to safety risks for technicians working on the vehicle. Krown leaves only a light oily residue that is designed to displace moisture and slow the corrosion process. Krown has a dielectric strength of 40000 volts, meaning it is non-conductive and will not have any impact on the electrical system. We have been spraying hybrids for a long time and treat many of them on an annual basis. From a body structure perspective, they follow our standard application process.
Krown is designed to work most effectively with steel. However, it will also provide protection on aluminum, especially where dissimilar metals meet. There is no negative impact whatsoever to treating an aluminum vehicle. The Krown product will also help to protect the electrical components of your vehicle as the product is designed to displace moisture and leave a light oily barrier.

Both new and used vehicles are susceptible to rust and our product works on both. Krown is absorbed into existing corrosion and pushes out any moisture, thus slowing any further corrosion down significantly.

Our position on washing the vehicle underside is that it has value to occasionally clean the underside and this can be done any time after the application but preferably giving the product a couple days to creep and move into harder to reach areas. We suggest avoiding hot water, degreasers or high pressure wash. These will over time reduce the life span of the effectiveness of the product. Ideally, cleaning the underside once or twice a year with Krown Salt Eliminator is our suggested best practice. This product is designed to work in conjunction with our rust inhibitor and will remove salt without negatively impacting the rust protection.

How does Krown’s locked-in price policy work?

At Krown we are committed to servicing our customers with the best product and service in the industry. We appreciate customer loyalty, and this corporately-backed, company-wide policy is a way of giving that loyalty back to our customers. The locked-in price policy essentially means that the customer will not have to pay more than their locked-in price for an application alone, as long as they own the vehicle and continue to have it treated annually.

 

A customer’s price gets “locked-in” at the current regular retail price for that vehicle type on the date of their first application. Using a coupon or other discount at that first application does not reduce the locked-in price.

 

Can I use a coupon in addition to my locked-in price?

Once our prices increase and the locked-in price is lower than regular retail, the locked-in price is considered a discount. Our corporate policy allows one discount or promotion per application, which means the locked-in price cannot be combined with any other offer.

 

If a customer decides to take advantage of a current promotion one year instead of using their locked-in price discount, the locked-in price is not lost. It will still be available to use in future years if the customer chooses.

 

How do I maintain my locked-in price?

In order to maintain a locked-in price, the vehicle needs to have an application done each year, no later than 30 days past the anniversary date of the initial application.

 

Do I lose my locked-in price if I move?

Moving or switching shops does not impact the locked-in price; however, a new shop will need to verify the locked-in price either by viewing the previous year’s invoice, or by contacting head office to check the central database.

 

Can I keep my locked-in price if I buy a new vehicle?

The locked-in price is not transferable from an older vehicle to a new one; if a customer purchases a new vehicle, it will have its own new locked-in price. Similarly, the locked-in price does not follow the vehicle if it is sold.
