Default Rust Proofing

Ok, I know body is aluminum but still want to get some under body protection. Thoughts on Ziebart versus Krown?

My Thoughts, I would go to Los Vegas first.

I had a 06 F-150 that I drove for 10 years 36 miles a day, every day, in NW Ohio, with everything that ODOT could throw at it. It also made many winter trips to northern Michigan. Rarely washed it, never waxed it. The day I sold it it has some breakthrough rust in the back of the bed. The doors, rockers, fenders, aluminum hood, perfect. I suspect my 2021 will perform better.

How long are you keeping this truck? Most people sell long before the rust becomes a structural issue.

One of the best ways to burn money. Ranks right up there with this. Rustproofing has been unnecessary for decades.

I have used Line-X of Fort Wayne on my last three F150s and my wife's last three Escapes. They do a great job for a reasonable price.

I have a 17... I used Ziebart once on my Mazda... didn't work, but then I see most Mazda's rust through. lol
I use used Krown on three Avalanche's and my 17 F150. All had great experience an still nice and clean on the 150. The rear diff on the f150 in rust country always seem bad, mine is still black and zero rust.
