I'm just about to pick-up my new G35C... I want to have it rustproofed but the dealer wants a fortune. I was thinking about using Krown Rustproofing which is recommended by the APA. Any thoughts on rustproofing and Krown specifically would be appreciated....

 

I read recently that aftermarket rust proofing isn't really necessary on modern cars- it's just a money maker. In fact, they said that some rust proofing processes can actually work against the factory treatments. Personally, I had mine done by a reputable company just for the peace of mind.

 

Tom, I've used 'KROWN' and generally like it. Haven't used it recently but when I get my Coupe I think I'll get it done. The only problem with it is it'll drip for like days after it's done. Last time I had it done I had to put newspapers on the garage floor to catch the drips but I believe in it and like you said - it's highly recommended with a good guarantee. Good Luck......

I have used Krown for many years on my 1995 SHO (R.I.P.). Being a Ford Taurus it was a "must" to rustproof them. The only problem I noticed was that the rubber around the trunk and hood would swell up due to the oil. I am afraid to do the Infiniti since it does have a lot of rubber around the bottom and sides of the doors as well. If Krown would guarrantee (in writing) that the rubber would not swell, I would consider doing the Infiniti.

Anyone else experience the rubber swelling?

Ivory Pearl, Premium, Aero, Graphite Leather, everything but Nav.

 

How about Diamond Koat which is what's generally use here in Vancouver?

Vdoalamo, Thanks for the tip on the rubber swelling. I hadn't concidered that and will check it out before getting mine done.
Besides Rustcheck, Krown is the only alternative around here (in Southern Ontario).............Later

i just read in a auto magazine, (i think it was motor trend) that the rust protection/diamond coat can actually damage your car if it is not applied properly. the only thing i opted for was the under coat to dampen road noise. if you get the rust protection be aware that they drill/cut holes in your car. infiniti's seem to be built pretty well to me so i think the packages are just cash grabs.

OHHH MY GOD... they drill and cut holes from Diamond Kote.

Hmmmm, I wonder .. the only reason why I went with this, is this is Infiniti's own lifetime garanteed protection the promote.

Hmmm let me call my dealer and find out..
I keep you posted on what I find out.

Take care
