Corrosion Free installer in GTA who do you recommend?
 
This year i've decided to rust proof my car with Corrosion Free. In the past I've used Krown but that stuff is just SO messy.
I've read a lot about Corrosion Free and there was even a report done by the Canadian military that favours Corrosion free. I like the idea of that it doesn't need to drill, doesn't drip and doesn't smell.
Anyone has Corrosion Free done to their car and recommend a installer in the GTA area?

You can just do it yourself. Order two cans directly from corrosion free or I believe Rust Cure @ Canadian Tire is the same thing.

Honestly Krown works just as well. If you don't want them to drill just buy the Krown solution and do it yourself.

I had Krown done on my previous car for the past 3 years. They say if i don't drill hole then no warranty. Krown is just SO MESSY not only the outside of my car gets dirty the inside gets greasy as well. Everytime i get my car Krown'ed my steering wheel and seat and arm rest all have greasy spots on them. Not to mention the rubber trim gets degraded as well. Just want to try something else.

That has more to do with whose applying it than the stuff itself. Sounds like a lazy person who can't be bothered to properly wipe their hand or use gloves when handling the inside of a car.

Krown is a franchise system so it sounds like one franchisee is the problem, not the whole Krown system. Have used them for years, and research has shown, that full oil spray that Krown and their equal rivals do is the only conclusive way to help prevent premature corrosion. It has to be messy to get at the seams and welds, where corrosion will start first, since those are the weakest and easiest spots to rust. But yeah, those first couple days the outside is a mess while the stuff seeps in. But come every spring, a good wash/wax/polish and my cars shine with no problem. If anything, the oil spry forces you to do a proper detail to get it it's cleanest!

That is why I'd just do it myself. Just buy two cans of the krown stuff and spray it yourself.. Its messy because the guy who sprayed it is lazy and doesn't care.
