Krown is a Nation wide company that does rust proofing. We deal with one specific location as a perk for being TCC Paid Member.

One bad thing that comes with rust proofing is the dust can attract itself onto the surface from daily driving. Your under body and engine bay will look rather filthy. But, if you want protection, you need to give up a little bit of beauty.

Not many, only a few.

Stewpidass (sp?), gatherer, RyanHook, Jooksinkid, myself and maybe a few others I don't know about.

If you talk about Paid Member that is.

Bah i'll tell yah what....i drive a 00 Civic Sedan......got it a while back been through?...i think 3 winters?...not sure...anyway....still using the same tires....summer and winter. . . been driving on the 401 snow covered. . . towards London. . . and back......been in some deep snow. . . still made it through.

Tires still kickin!

It's really nothin to be worried about . . . like others have said ur only major concern would be rust and rust proofing will help prevent the rust. . .

So pretty much just drive safe take it easy. . . at times u may have to give'er a bit to get the civic through some snow days. . but if yah know how to handle it u'll be totally fine....honestly u should have zero concerns i feel. . . oh wait except for the rust of course...haha

The corrosion really starts when the salt water on your car is above zero degrees. When it is frozen, they don't do much, espcially at days like minus 20.

Wash your car once a week during winter, give it a good spray around the underbody. A good 2 dollar washing cycle strickly for water spraying will make it quite nice and clean.
