[QUOTE="JETZ, post: 102536, member: 209"] I read CR too. What you quoted re 'corrosion resistance' was referring to ordinary steel bodied cars. They certainly did not have any dealing with composite body Vets. In as far as 'manufactures 'telling' you not to do aftermarket RP, I don't buy that for a moment. The wording is 'suggesting', cause YES 'factory' RP has gotten better, but every manufacturer is saying that now( buy our cars, we've gotten better) to instill product confidence. Who are these Manufacturers? Threatening the 'corrosion' warrranty? Can lead to moisture traps? With a 'tar/ wax' product like Zeibart, (happened to my 300zx) or something bought at Canadian Tire to apply yourself, but not a 'oil type, like 'Krown'. Anyone buying any new 'steel' car, and buying into the 'dealer special' rust proofing/ interior protection is just paying through the nose. They don't do any RP at the dealer, they send the cars to the RP shop. They don't do any 'interior protection', they get a 'mobile protection shop' to come into the dealership to do that work. And of course, the dealer pumps up the price much higher than what we would pay if the car was taken in to the shops by the owners themselves. Just can't wrap my head around the OP wanting to spend all that dough on a new C7, and drive it every winter. Now this winter in Toronto (what winter?) was nothing except for a couple of days. On the other hand, I was not tempted to go north to my cottage (Orillia) even in my 4WD truck. Brrrrr... I guess he might change his mind when we get a real winter, and someone slides into him, or he hits curb, hopefully nothing nasty. frank [/QUOTE]
