Malcomb,
I'm planning a trip up to Sault Ste.Marie(CANADA) for rust treatment and
have located a "Crown" franchise there. Do you recommend Rust Check over
Crown? Crown charge $120 CDN and do treat the seams from inside the body
panel.

You are close enough to Canada to get the "Rust Check"
treatment (and you can get the 50% off for Canadian
$s).  it will STOP the seam rust.  I have seen
EXCELLENT (every treatment possible) repainted seams
but the rust returns because short of cutting out the
seams, the rust in IN the seam and will return.  The
rust check will wick up in all the seams and stop the
rust, will not repair it, but it will stop it.  I have
a squirt blttle that I use every month for the seams
(in behind the rear tail lights).  Malcolm (Halaifax)
