Rust question

Post by atrebeck44 »

When I purchased my van last october I noticed that the undercarriage and frame etc. were undercoated heavily. Excited to get the Delica home I thought that this was something standard that the dealer did with all their imports as part of the detailing package. I was not thinking that it may have been an effort to cover up rust. Now a year later I am noticing that alot of the undercoat is wearing away exposing surface rust on the frame, axels etc. At this point I cannot find any on the body of the vehicle. I plan on rhino lining the wheel wells shortly to prevent any spread and clean up the look. Any ideas regarding possible solutions for the frame and moving parts? OR Does anyone know of any shops that specials in stopping the spread? Any suggestions would be great


Thanks.

Krown rust control at Duncan Auto up in Squamish. Had mine done there in February, then drove in a lot of salt here in Ontario in the spring. Seems to be protecting well, although it's maybe a little early to tell.

Krown generally has the best reputation for rust protection.
