Electronic AND spray rust proofing??
I pick up my new G35 from the dealership last night. It already came with the dealer-installed electronic rust inhibitor thing. I'm pretty skeptical as to whether it really prevents rust, but it just came with the car.
It's this thing:

I think it's like the Counteract that Canadian Tire's been flogging.
On my previous cars I've used Krown rust proofing and I've been happy with it. Do you think it's worthwhile to Krown/Rustchek the car in addition to having the electronic inhibitor? I'm leaning towards having the car sprayed thinking that it's only another $100 to protect a $50,000 car.
BTW, I'm planning on keeping the car 5+ years, possibly 10+ like our old car.

Like you, tho, I've had excellent luck with Krown and would strongly recommend it provided you'll keep the g for that length of time....
Krown can be a little messy (only) but it's well worth the bother.
Congrats on the new G, bro....enjoy......

I went ahead and had the car Krowned this morning. I used a $10 off online coupon that expires end of today.
Everything went well as expected. Of course there's now a big puddle of oil on the street under the car.

I don't live anywhere near there but I've always gone there because they've done a good job on my previous cars. It's actually a one man operation. He's an older fellow who has been doing this for 20 years. He does a very thorough job, and you can sit there and watch him work on your car if you want.
