Bingo.

 

Is it necessary? Depends on whether you are keeping it long term or not. If so it will reduce the chances of rust in places where a car wash might not be able to wash out easily. Once rust is in it has to be cut out, bondo'd and repainted. The cost of repairing one small patch can be more than 10 years worth of rust checking.

Then again, it only protects the hide-away areas - if you have a ding or chipped paint where the metal is exposed such as the hood or tail gate your chances of rust increase with or without rust check. I take my cars to Krown every year. Spring/Summer is the best to time to have them applied as the workers are not as busy and can spend more time on doing a thorough job.

 

Thanks a lot, I'm planning to keep this one for good.

 

I have used KROWN RUST CONTROL on my 2006 KIA Sportage, which I still own. There is no sign of rust on this vehicle.

I used KROWN again on my 2010 Outlander.

It is a great product and recommended by many.

 

I think Krown is similar to Rust Check but smells a bit less. Both good products at about the same price.

 

I believe it has something to do with the new alarm. It senses motion inside the vehicle.

 

For those among you guys who have 2010 outie, did you notice that the noise made by ABS calibration when driving away is almost gone?

 

Another thing I notice is I don't hear the clicking sound anymore on the shifter when pressing the brake while in N position.

 

Well, I didn't hear any clicking sound on my 2009 Outlander either but after 6 months of use it appeared out of nowhere and never went away :s Anyway, I like what Mitsubishi did with Outlander GT interiorwise but exterior, that new nose does not look good on the Outlander, maybe if they haven't released the 2007-2009 nose I would have nothing to compare against but right now I actually prefer the older look, if anything, they should have also done some revision to the rear taillights, but thats just my opinion.

 

I believe the clicking is the servo that allows you to shift out of park only if you hold the brake. If you are in N, there is nothing that prevents you from shifting out of it, so it isn't activated then.
