Subject:krown rust protection

yeah, mark... I keep asking the list about Krown or another reasonable
substitute here in the states and no one ever responds.  how come?

I live in Hawaii (yeah, I know, shed your tears now)... sounds great and is,
but boy do things rust in a big hurry here!  I'd love to oil my car.  Got a
sweet 89 syncro westy without a spot of rust anywhere, but... it's just a
matter of time without protection.

I can't buy your vanagon - but I noticed you said it has been oiled for
winter and has no rust - are you into Krown too??? Do you do the work
yourself (the oiling) or have someone do it for you??? Its strange that no
one here in the US does this except farmers.... maybe its a smog law
thing...
