On our 1993 we've used Rust Check for about 15 years. Not sure what if anything the previous owner used - I think it was clean, and there was basically no rust anywhere when we bought it.
The 1989 gets Rust Check now, we did Krown once. Either is fine, but I kind of prefer Rust Check a little (like I prefer Coke over Pepsi)... There are some spots that were missed, and it didn't have the sills drilled etc to accept spray inside all the cavities early on... now I'm finding some of that is starting to go and this may be the last winter for it. I'm in the middle of a floor repair on that one. What a mess!
Our indy until recently had a high mileage 1985 and uses Krown. With either Rust Check or Krown, one wants the creeping spray. For rust check, that is the red lid. sounds similar to Floods Penetrol maybe if that stuff is oily? There is also a thick variant (green lid for rust check) that is meant more as an undercoating. If you spray it over bare metal in the fall, so long as you keep it coated in that stuff before it washes off, it will still be fine in the spring. But it doesn't creep. So we haven't used it on the 1993. The 1989 got a lot of the thick stuff over the years, so really messy, but some of the nooks and crannies are dry and rusting.
photo is of the underside of the 1993. Paint is original and pretty much all still perfect under the grime. Grime is a mix of Rust Check and dirt. Most c900's here have had this area patched and welded a few times by now... I've kept it off the road the last 3 winters (we use the 1989 as a winter beater), but the 1993 was our snow car every year prior!
