I’ve never tried Krown or Corrosion Free before but the Waxoyl application was meticulously done. They removed all the fender liners, engine cover, and trunk cover then sprayed everything. Even the rubber plugs were removed and a small hose was passed inside to cover every nook and cranny.

An impressive job indeed and I’m extremely happy with the results.

@wthrman2 To be honest, it was my first time seeing the undercarriage of the IS 500. It looked super cool. How I wish I had ramps at home so I could manually wash it every week.

Would you consider rustproofing yours?

I do have ramps and I also I have a scissor lift for my 2 other cars - I have yet to use it on my 500. Nope, I won't do mine as I don't drive it from late November until April and won't even see a drop of rain or wet roads so that would be overkill for me

This looks so good! Where did you get it done? And how much was it, if you dont mind me asking 😅

I think I should get this done as well!

@sfzxr89 Hey there! The shop is called Advanced Auto Salon in Scarborough. Look for Brad. He is very detail-oriented and walks you through every step. Because it’s a popular detail shop and the procedure takes a full day, you will have to book several months in advance. You should be okay to do it in Spring if you plan to garage yours for the winter.

Thank you so much! Just booked an appointment with them! I've got a couple of questions but I'll shoot them through DM if you don't mind!
