The nice thing is that this total treatment only needs to be done once. Then every 2 or 3 years you have the exposed parts "touched up" and that costs next to nothing since nothing needs to be taken apart. I have pinned your comment because I forgot to mention this in the video. Thanks for asking.
thank you so much for this information! as an old engineer from detroit, the one place in the world with roads as bad as your part of the world, i can agree with everything you said.
The one recommended is Alerco in Anjou, but this is not cheap. I got a quote this morning for $950 for my Soul EV 2021 and for the touch up every 2 years it's $120. Need to be in no rush to get the treatment as their waiting list is about 8 month and it take them 1.5 days to complet the jobs
Impressive amount of time and effort! Not a bad price for that much labor. I wonder where these people were trained? Is it a chain? I'm sure that your video will help get them more customers, so it's definitely to their benefit to have allowed you to film.
Yes, it is a big job. The person who did my car owns the business, his brother also has a shop, it is a family business that has existed since the 70s. I made a point of not mentioning the business name since he did not want any extra business. As mentioned in the video he is booked out 1 year in advance, as is his brother. You can watch the part of the video that starts at 16:25, where I explain it all.
Thanks André for letting us see what is involved for that procedure! I had mine treated at a Montreal area shop that does pretty much the same procedure and I'm amazed at the product, especially compared to the old oil based rust-proofing I had done on my other cars (from the chain we all heard about here in Quebec, not to name names).
@Jé it is my pleasure. And you are correct, things have changed a lot over the last several years. I would not use one of the well advertised companies, especially the one who claims they can do your car in less than 30 minutes 😎
@Jean Yves Guiguere he probably used Arleco in Anjou. They are the ones suggested on the AVEQ site that I provided the link for in reponse to your comment below.
@@EV-olution On my side I contacted Alerco today which is closer to home then the one you used which is around Levis (+2h driving). But it's more expensive then what you paid (dunno if it's related to inflation from 2 years), they were asking 950$ for doing a Soul EV which is smaller then the EV6, I was expecting similar price in around $600. Also they are taking 1.5 days to complete the whole process too! I saw their videos they put on their website which look to be the same very meticulous method that will also last a life time and need to do touch up/check every 2 years (they charge 120$ for this which is reasonable).
Thank you very much for the sub. I would be curious to know the difference in cost in other countries. FYI, I am working on my next video about my winter wheels and tires.
1000 CAD in Denmark, but much better product, better coverage and they hot pressure wash and hot drying the car. It takes 2-3 days to get it done. Crazy but works well
Great video and the guy you featured is one talented individual! I can see why he is booked a year in advance.... I am lucky as I have a home shop with a car lift and I do my own oil sprays on my vehicles. I use many of the same techniques he used and I also learned a bunch by watching what he was doing. We also have an EV6 in Runway Red on order and expect it sometime this summer. Our 2023 Kona EV has been awesome and we pile the mileage on. I totally agree oil spraying is well worth it as it will maximize the life you get out of a vehicle. We rarely get rid of vehicles and usually wring every last drop of usability out of them before they leave. We usually end up selling our cars on to friends who need a winter car as they know how well maintained they are. About 15 years ago we sold our beloved 97 Aerostar AWD van with 490,000 km to a friend for a winter vehicle...they are still driving it! The body has finally succumbed to the rust worm but that is because they did not continue regular oil sprays...but it is still running! Anyway...Thank you for doing your videos they are great - especially the out takes at the end! Mike 🇨🇦
Thank you very much. It is great that you have a garage and a lift, I would love that 😎. As for the Aerostar, holy crap, that was a long life and surprising because they were not that reliable. Thanks for taking the time to watch and for the comment, I really appreciate it.
@@EV-olution LOL...yeah we had several of them and they where always good for us. But I am a maintenance freak... The EV has such low maintenance I am bored but I have a few other cars as well. Mike 🇨🇦
I also don't want holes drilled in my car so I appreciate seeing an alternative rustproofing method. Maybe I missed this but how often must this treatment be done? Also, are certain manufacturers/models of EVs easier to do than others? Finally, any issues with breakage of plastic fasteners during the process? Even so, this was a great video. Thanks!
Thank you very much! Nope, you did not miss it, I forgot to mention it. I pinned the first comment that asked this question and answered it there 😎. This big treatment is only done once, but some exposed areas should be "touched up" every 2 to 3 years (2 is better). I asked about different models and he won't do just any car, but says the ones he does take a similar amount of time. Also, no broken parts or clips! It was fairly easy, but this is a new car so plastics are still flexible enough even though it was a long and cold drive (200+ km) to get there.
Correct. I was given access because I was making a video about the subject, but in general, being present during application is not something that is allowed.
J'ai fait traité ma ev6 hier au même endroit. Merci pour le vidéo qui m'a fait décidé à le faire même si le concessionnaire me disait que ça allait contre ma garantie. Maintenant, il a un employé et ils en font beaucoup plus.

Thank you, and nope, I did not forget 😎. In the video I mention that it has to be the right product but since there is not one specific product, and the one used at this shop is a "family recipe" that has been evolved and developed since the 70s, I could not give a specific answer. This is why I mention that it has to be an appropriate product that is used, without giving a type/name. It boils down to trusting the place that does the work. This place is the second generation of owners doing treatments and they have been protecting cars for years, with excellent long-term results.
thank you for this video and info! i've been wanting to do this but didn't know where to start or what to expect. i'm assuming there's no major difference in having this done for the hev?

Je viens den acheter un le vendeur ma dit que non pour la garantie alors jai écrit a Kia Canada. La fille a téléphoné ma femme lui indiquant que si ils prouvent que le traitement a cause un problème électrique quils ne couvriront pas la garantie.
Great video! What are your thoughts on having this service performed after a winter of exposure? In the not so ideal scenario of finally getting our RAV4 Prime (phev), but of course near the end of November after 2 years of waiting. Thanks
Thank you very much, and thanks for watching. Regarding your question of treatment after 1 winter, I asked the question when I initially called him to make the video, but forgot to mention it in the video. Essentially, he said it is best to have it done before winter but it is not a problem, nor any worse, if you have it done after 1 winter. The first winter will dirty the car, but the grime won't get into everything in large quantity in the first year. So it's not a bad situation if you can't have it done until after, but I suggest booking your appointment as soon as possible. Are you in Eastern Canada and going to have it done at Steve's shop where I had it done?
@ thanks for the reply, and advice! We are about 3 hours north of Toronto. We are interested in using Steve’s service because your video really shows a next level attention to detail; both from your perspective on rust proofing and EV, and Steve’s skill and patience. He’s pretty far from us by the looks of it unfortunately, so maybe a road trip this summer is the only option. It’s a shame to run through a winter without the protection, but my hands are tied and it sounds like it’s not the worst thing.
Salut André - j'ai fait la même chose cette semaine à Québec : évidemment pour la Tesla, ils la démontent d'une autre façon. Produit semblable : garantie de 10 ans et des touch-ups à intervales qu' ils vont me fournir. J'ai des photos que je pourrai te partager si cela t'intéresse. Excellent vidéo, pour la ventilation je me posais la question : pas de masque ? Tu y a répondu.
Is this oil based (KROWN, RustCheck) or lanolin based (WoolWax, Fluid Film, Surface Shield)? Doesn’t look rubber based. Seems he just takes more time to open things up then a typical place
The product he uses is a family recipe that has been developped and improved for over 40 years. It will not get moldy, it will not leak, but it will get into every nook and cranny. I asked him about it and it's a family secret that has been proven on thousands of cars over decades of use and improvement by his father, himself and his brother in their 3 companies that specialize in rust protection. As for taking more time, this was a 5.5 hour job of meticulous application and attention to detail; so yes he takes more time and, as mentioned in the video, there is no drilling which is very important.
The protection I had done is commonly known as, and misleadingly named, permanent rust proofing. This is far from the truth and it requires a touchup to areas exposed to water and snow ever 2 years. That means the under carriage, and a couple of spots like the bottoms of the doors need to be sprayed every 2 years, and it is done at a lower cost than the initial job. I don't have the cost of the touchup because it has only been one year.
Sorry, but being in Montréal I can't help with Toronto. Unfortunately you are going to have to dig around, but if you find a good one please feel free to share it here.
Comme mentionné dans la vidéo, il ne cherche pas de nouveaux clients, donc la raison que je ne l'ai pas mentionné, mais envoi moi un message privé sur Facebook et je te répondrai.
Both dealerships I have dealt with in the last 5 years, with my Niro EV, my wife's Soul EV, and now my EV6, have never said a thing. They know a proper treatment when they see one, and not a single component or wire has any treatment on it. If Kia were ever to blame the rust protection for a problem they are going to have one hell of a time proving it.
We don't have Krown in Québec, so I don't know how they apply it, but not many places specialize in EVs, so I suggest you ask them how they apply their product and if they drill.
@@EV-olutionActually, we do! Il y a un Krown à plusieurs endroits, dont à Lévis. Ils percent effectivement des trous et je ne sais pas à quel point ils sont formés pour les VÉ
Wonder where is a place like this in GTA as going to Montreal area not an option and I understand he has a year wait so not something i could coordinate with a family vacation
Being one of the first 200 in Canada I have had my EV6 since March 2022, so about 1.5 years now, and I have driven it a full winter. I had the car treated before winter because the faster you have it done the more efficient the protection is. I made this video because lots of people say to not get an EV protected, but an EV is just like any other car that is made of steel, it will eventually rust and the only way to protect it is to have it treated. My video explains all the details about who and where to go, and why. I hope this helps.
Weight?! I had not thought of that since it is a very fine mist of product that is applied and you can barely see it. So I am unaware of how many grams it would weigh, but I am guessing it is a very tiny fraction of the weight of the 2 foam inserts I had removed from the car. (shown in the video).
How do I find a reliable company that specializes in rust proofing for my Kia Niro EV? I live in Ontario. Will you please share the name of the company you use? Thank you.
Your question is a good one. I don't know of an official list of good companies, I only know of the two that are here in Québec. As mentioned in the video, the owner of this company is not looking for new clients, so I won't post it here, but if you message me on Facebook, or via my website, I will share the company name there. facebook.com/evolutioninevitible/ ..... OR ..... www.ev-olution.ca/
He uses an evolution of the product that his father used and improved, with great success, since the 70s. It is a family "recipe". You could try reaching out to him to see if he will share, but I would not hold my breath.
Thanks. I was just interested as I have used most products ie waxoyl diniteol ACF. I now use Lanoguard which I’m very happy with. Good video thank you.
Thank you very much. The touch up should be done every 2 years, is less complicated and costs less. The product he used is something that has been developped in house for decades, based on a known product. I don't have details because it is a family recipe.
@EV-olution ta surment repondu a la question il a trop de commantaire je voie pas la reponse a quel endroit a tu fais faire se service, you propably answer the question but to many coment where do you get this service? maybe in the description pin the rust prove shop :)

Is this oil based (KROWN, RustCheck) or lanolin based (WoolWax, Fluid Film, Surface Shield)? Doesn’t look rubber based. Seems he just takes more time to open things up then a typical place
The product he uses is a family recipe that has been developped and improved for over 40 years. It will not get moldy, it will not leak, but it will get into every nook and cranny.

How long does the treatment last or how often does it need to be retreated?
The protection I had done is commonly known as, and misleadingly named, permanent rust proofing. This is far from the truth and it requires a touchup to areas exposed to water and snow ever 2 years. That means the under carriage, and a couple of spots like the bottoms of the doors need to be sprayed every 2 years, and it is done at a lower cost than the initial job.

How long have you owned the ev6? Did you winter it before rustproofing it? I just bought one, and everybody is telling me not to get it undercoated.

He uses an evolution of the product that his father used and improved, with great success, since the 70s. It is a family "recipe". You could try reaching out to him to see if he will share, but I would not hold my breath.
Thanks. I was just interested as I have used most products ie waxoyl diniteol ACF. I now use Lanoguard which I’m very happy with. Good video thank you.

Do u have to do yearly touch ups? What product did he USE? Great video. Sub'd & 👍'd
Thank you very much. The touch up should be done every 2 years, is less complicated and costs less. The product he used is something that has been developped in house for decades, based on a known product. I don't have details because it is a family recipe.

Do you care to talk about the Toyota RAV4 Prime?
It is an interesting vehicle, but my channel is about 100% electric vehicles. I don't review hybrids or plug-in hybrids. Sorry.
All this while charging the car for you too.
Yep! He has more than one 240V charging station in his garage. It was very convenient because this shop is over 200km away from my house 😎
