    Hi guys. I heard spraying with Krown rust protection.. Is not recommended for the newer 4 runners. They say it’s not good got the electronics, wiring etc.

    I have a 2023 4 runner. A sprayed application of a wax or rubber-based composite to the underside of a vehicle to create a rust-proof layer.

    New cars are coated with materials that protect the chassis from rust, salt, and oil, but the protection wears off over time. Would you guys recommend getting it touched up once a year. Or take a chance and spray with Krown every year? As it is top of the line protection.

    Thanks

    Fluid film, Surface Shield or Woolwax every year and you are good to go.

    Look at it this way. Water and salt isn't good for the electronics, wiring, etc. either. It's your choice.
