I think that's why there is usually a quality application difference and inconsistencies.
I have used Rust Check in the past to see what the difference was and was less than impressed with my local shop here. They liked spraying lots of plastic things under the car and in the wheel wells and missed all sorts of metal that would of rusted if I hadn't touch it up with a Krown application later.
The current Krown I use was recently purchased by another group of people. The previous owner/workers did a terrible job, imo, and that is why I ventured away and started using a Rust Check place instead. As I mentioned, I use to do my own vehicles but when I found a guy on Bloor here in Oshawa who was as anal as I was with Rust Check, it was a no brainer not to use him.
He sold it to Monroe auto glass, who I used once, and that was enough as it reminded me of the job the Krown place did. Last year, after using another Rust Check place whose job was less than stellar, I was told about the new owners at Krown so I tried them and was very pleased.
Like I mentioned, I believe both products are great but it all depends on who applies them.
