I had an expensive couple of days... $135.00 for yearly application of Krown rustproof on my RAV4 $199.00 to license same for two years $1660.00 for interm bill equal to half my yearly property taxes and now over $400.00 for the bimini. Does your charity take pennies? |

Does your charity take pennies? Shoot yes! Any donation is gratefully accepted, and will be matched! Why are you getting the RAV4 rustproofed annually? Is the salt air that bad? Consumer Reports just came out saying one should not add undercoating to an automobile, that the factory stuff is fine. -- John H For a great time, go here first... http://tinyurl.com/ygqxs5v |

Usually the additional rust proofing applied by a professional company is good for the life of the vehicle. Isn't it? - Show quoted text - |

Does your charity take pennies? Rustproofing modern cars at all is a huge waste of money. A yearly application is a scam. I'd be happy to pay your property taxes! Mine are twice as much. |

Oh, the old one is functional but looking dingy and has a hole in it. Instead of re-crover I'd say a new one would be bnetery equity. I'm thinking on using poles and cross beams and making my own so it will go from stern to bow. Hey, it worked well on the DUKW's, and Filupino fishing boats. |

I'm fortunate to not be affected. Gatorade was another recommendation but that might be as effective as the hiccup "cures". |
