No idea. There are other types for sure. Krown and Rust Check are the biggest names... around here we also have Metropolitan. Not sure about the other types. Heck, I've heard of people using recycled oil before - "oil tractor so it don't rust"... that's the basic principle, but the brand name products probably don't cost a lot more if you are paying for someone's time to spray it anyway. There should be tons of Krown and RustCheck places near you. I haven't tried other types to be honest - who knows some might be better?

I would ask if it is a thin creeping type or a thick type and where they spray it (or both). Really, for rust check, the thin (red can) stuff should go inside stuff, and the thick (green can) stuff should undercoat. You can buy both at Crappy Tire btw.

I did have rust in a fender of the winter beater c900 (which is why it is the winter beater) and the fender was sprayed on the outside with the thick stuff, but the inside was dry. The inside of the fenders of the 1993 are covered in the thin oil. On the 9-5 I regularly spray up in around that dog leg that rusts. 9-5's rust faster than c900's once they start to go! Metal is thinner.

Along the same lines, I tend to put a thin amount of grease on most fasteners before installing - in most cases it makes future disassembly easier due to less corrosion (just be careful on wheel bolts!).
