Krown treatment on a leased car

[xBoffx]

Is this allowed? May sound silly to do it on a leased car, but I love the car so much that I am strongly considering buying it at the end of the lease.

Don’t bother.

Car comes with a 12 year rust perforation warranty from the factory. Why bother doing more, especially on a rental.

Hmmmm OK. Well I’m definitely gonna do my Mazda! 😂

A relative of mine in Toronto did this treatment to his 2001 540i when he got it brand new. It has been 17 years and the original crown spray is still present and no rust.

With that said, the krown spray leaves thick brown residue that can drip from the side sills and over the years, the oil-based residue collects dirt and particulates that becomes quite heavily soiled. This is quite unsightly, especially in the engine bay.

To be honest, you may want to consider getting a beater car for the harsh winter months and keep your M in pristine condition for the summers - that is, if you're keeping the car.

If you're turning in the lease, then don't waste the money and save it for the next lease.
