Rust on your suspension is NOT covered under warranty

if you don't like the rusty suspension then you should rust proof your car... My car 5.5 years old and all my suspension is black cause I krowned my car from brand new

I dont care about the look of it i am just worried that it would spread further and rust other parts? Ye i made the mistake of not rust proofing when the car was new. So at krown do you have to rust proof every year or is it just one time thing?

You have to do it every year so your car is always gross and oily.
Suspension rust will spread around the suspension slowly, won't affect the performance though. Its just surface rust.

Suspension rust? Aris already answered that for you - no it is not.

I just bought a used 2010 Mazda3 Gt with 72,500 ams on it…Few scratches around door handles and lift gate but otherwise clean and no accidents.
Truly loving it and it has no rust.
So, I was wondering if I should Undercoat with Krown or is there another good competitor?
I have used Krown before, but, just wondering if anyone has an equivalent product now?
Not trying to cause any nasty arguments, just want to protect my little white marshmallow, thats all.
Thanks for any comments or assistance on rustproofing options!

I have a 2007 Mazda 3 GT Original owner I have used Krown Faithfully for 5 years and I am one of few Mazda 3 owners with not one spec of rust

I'd be curious to see pics of the chassis... Is that actually rust free?

Dude that is such an oily mess you'd never know if it was rusting under there lol
You might say... but its oily so it won't rust. But then again, Mazda

I have a 2007 Mazda 3 Krowned since day one no rust

We have Mazda 3 2012 bought brand new right away Krown Protection. And after 20 months check the pictures. Also 5th door Brake's dust Speckle (as claimed from day one by dealer) turns out to be nice rust under paint. Somebody asked if we will buy Mazda again...No as a quality of the Paint and the corrosive protection on body is realy weak. We had Hyundai Elantra GT 2002 fro 7 years when the first signs of the rust started show up. Poor Quality

My 2012 2.0L M5 has Krown'ed since the start. At about 217K .
Whatever rust i do see is from paint chips rusting. Rear wheel wells look fine..
Chassis i will have look once its up for an oil change and i'll post some pics.
If youre not Krown use something else it helps keep rust away.

G~MINI ... master of the necro :-)

that being said, my wife's 2012 M3 Sport GS Sky has the electronic module (purchased with the car, lifetime warranty on the body) ... we are at 157,000 km and the body is mint. Starting to see very minor rust on the hatch shock bolts and around the hatch release button. Dealer says the hatch shock bolt issue won't be covered (we'll see about that) but when the patch around the hatch release button gets bad enough that will be covered.

Will post some pictures when I get a chance ... I was skeptical, but I am now a firm believer in those modules. Even where the paint has chipped (hood and just above the skirt on the passenger side) the exposed metal is still solid.

I considered Krown from the start (did that with my other vehicles) but wanted to see how the module held up (and with the lifetime warranty I wasn't too worried if it sucked)
