Iinteresting isnt it

What can be done to a truck's under carriage which was driven in Manitoba for couple years and is quite messy in the under carriage?
I dont think the truck was undercoated at the time of purchase.
Do any shops in Vancouver, BC specialize in cleaning this up as much as possible and then maybe undercoat it. I just want to protect it as much as possible and also make it appear half decent in and around the wheel wells. Couple pics below.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Remember Hondafan from the "Best place to conceal a handgun" thread? It looks like this is about to turn into another discussion where Hondafan spouts garbage, and we all keep feeding him. Quick, run away before you get sucked in...

Hondafan's posts on this are grossly misinformed.

I have never used Krown (not availalbe in Connecticut or New York where I have lived for my 30 driving years).

But - it appears to be a good product with good results. I think Fluid Film which can be bought at John Deere dealers (or on-line) is very similar. I've used that personally and had similar results to the Krown discussed - yearly reapplication and greatly slows down rust. Washing alone in the northeast will not help nearly as much. Our 2007 Toyota Sequoia purchased 1 year old already had pretty heavy corrosion, much like the OP posted of his Tundra.

I've also used Ziebart and that works well to when applied properly to a new vehicle. My 2011 F150 is getting Ziebart today. I've personally had 5 vehicles ziebarted, and the 1992 F150 (with Ziebart) that I sold to a guy in town still looks great, not a speck of rust on it. No amount of washing in the northeast would have preserved the 1992 F150 as well.

There is also a product called LPS3 rust inhibitor that I've read about for self application that has gotten good feedback. No personal experience with that one.

Okay, here is another annual update. Sprayed with Krown 3 times now. Truck has 48,000 kms and has been through 2 winters.

Looks great.

I just purchased a 2012 FX4 SCREW and had it Krowned yesterday.

What & where should I be looking to verify they got every spot?
There are oil streaks on the window and the door jams but those can be washed off later. The place I got it done said it can be washed a week after everything has settled. If they did a good job, is the amount of oil dripping around the vehicle any indication?

I had my 2012 done a few weeks ago. Very pleased with their application of the product. Personally I feel as though it is a small price to pay to keep my truck protected.

My truck should be delivered about 10/15.
I live in metro detroit, close to the boarder.
I found 3 krown dealers within an hour.
Santing's O.K. Tire Store
Belle River Auto Centre
Myers Truck & Trailer
Does anybody have experience with any of these three.

Thanks

I had Ziebart coated on mine last week.
But instead of the same Black coating they use on the underside they use some type of bees wax looking stuff in the doors,rocker panals,tailgate.
Time will tell
