This is the report I used to decide which Corrosion Control product to use. The report speaks for itself.

Note: The report is in both French and English. Just keep scrolling down the report for the English sections.

DRDC Corrosion Control

The most meaningful data begins at Section 4.3

Big difference I heard is that the corrosion free warranty is inside out and outside to inside vs all the rest only inside out rust

Where do you get it done ?
You didn't specify where in the GTA area you live, but Canadian Tires is one of the major dealers of Corrosion Free. As with any car care product, how well it performs is only as good as how well it was applied. Canadian Tires technicians work on many different types of jobs, applying rust proofing is not their primary job.
There are other specialty shops that are dealers and they tend to do a better job because it's part of their specialty. Mine was done at "The Shine Factory" in Dartmouth NS.
This type of car care is their "bread & butter". They will usually do a better job. I would recommend that you check the CorrosionFree website for dealers in your particular area of Toronto. Of note, They are a bit more expensive than others, but the product only needs to be re-applied every 18 months.
