Looks like a mess, just like Ziebart used to be. The MINI already has a very good rust preventive coating on it.

Adding more of it where it isn't required will probably clog water drain passages and other things like the crappy Ziebart stuff used to do. It actually used to cause more harm than good.

Just spray the undercarriage down with waste oil every winter and it will last forever.

Nothing you can do after manufacturing is likely to get into the narrowest hidden crevices where the water is likely to stay and cause problems.

IIRC, the biggest rust issue with the classic MINI was the drain-cuts at the corners of the roof seam, where the paint never seemed to do the job for long, since the car flexed enough to crack that paint eventually.

As not-so says, probably not worth doing this late in the game.

Hmmm....I would have thought more people would have had some experience with Krown. Really looking for actual experience with the product.

Oh well...
