Winter in our region brings snow, slush, and salt, exactly the conditions that accelerate rust on your vehicle. The good news: you can protect your car or truck before the harsh weather hits. At Automotive Coatings of York, we offer professional KROWN rust protection to help your vehicle look better, last longer, and stay safer on the road.
What is KROWN?
KROWN is North America’s #1 rust protection system—an advanced, petroleum-based, environmentally responsible rust inhibitor designed to stop and slow corrosion. Unlike hard undercoatings that can crack and trap moisture, KROWN penetrates seams, crevices, and hidden cavities where rust starts. It’s engineered to displace moisture, inhibit corrosion, and remain flexible so it continues protecting through freeze-thaw cycles.
How KROWN Works
- Displaces moisture: Salt and moisture are the enemies of your vehicle’s metal. KROWN pushes out water from vulnerable areas, interrupting the corrosion process.
- Penetrates and creeps: The formula creeps into spot-welds, seams, and inside doors, rocker panels, and frame rails—areas traditional coatings can’t reach.
- Self-healing protection: If disturbed, KROWN’s film reconverges, maintaining an active barrier.
- Safe on modern vehicles: It’s safe for electronics and electrical components, an important advantage for today’s tech-heavy cars and trucks.
What to Expect During the Application
- Inspection and preparation: Our annually certified technicians at Automotive Coatings of York assess key rust-prone areas and prepare your vehicle.
- Targeted access points: We carefully access inner panels and structural cavities to ensure comprehensive coverage—far beyond a simple “undercoat.”
- Full application: KROWN is applied to the underbody, seams, and critical hidden areas. Its penetrating action ensures uniform protection.
- Clean finish: Excess product is wiped down and your vehicle is returned to you, ready for winter.
Why Treat Your Vehicle Annually
- Extend vehicle life: Preventative protection reduces corrosion-related wear and tear.
- Save on repairs: Rusted brake lines, body panels, and structural components are costly—KROWN helps avoid those bills.
- Preserve resale value: A cleaner underbody and solid panels translate to higher trade-in value.
- Drive safer: Components like brake and fuel lines remain in better condition longer.
- Backed confidence: KROWN products are environmentally friendly and supported by nationally-backed warranty coverage, with durability validated by standardized testing.
