does this really work? my dad had something like this done by a dealer on a new chrysler in the early eighties and three years later he had excessive frame and undercarriage rust and they bought the car back from him, they said that they weren't doing the undercoating anymore because it trapped the moisture in and accelerated rust.
what exactly do they have to cover with the coating/ not cover? I just had it done on my Jetta but it doesn't look like I thought it would and a lot of it is not covered with it, do they mainly worry about the frame itself or should they also cover the fuel tank etc.? I want to make sure they did it correctly because i do live in Windsor where they drop a stupid amount of salt on the roads and I want to make sure they did it right before then.
They should do as much as they can inside the frame too! At least they taped it up.
The right way is to powerwash, blow out, wipe down, then wipe down with acetone then tape up, then apply rust proofing inside the frame then spray everything else then spray the undercoat, let dry then go over it one more time incase of missed spots. they should also shine light where there spray.
i live northeast US, i am....."blessed" with 100 degree summers and 4ft of snow winters. if i ever get a car worth anything then i will be sure to pretect my investment, I look under my car adn see rust and that bothers me. especially something as simple as this litterally saves your car because rust is like an infection, It just spreads unless you do something about it
Just had this done to my Cobalt, worth every penny. No I don't have to think I'll have it ten years from now, I know i will. I don't like to think so, I like to know so.
It will only make a mees if you don't use the proper protection and preparation. In answer to your other question, even for this particular water based undercoating at the very least you wouls need to heat it with a propane torch and hot it with a wire wheel to get it off.
This should be industry standard for all new cars. Not many know this but rotted bodies is 90% of the reason why cars end up in the junkyard. If I had my own car company I would make this standard on all cars I make.
yeah but if you had to make a profit what would you do. buy less quality parts or not use so much body protection? youd go for the hidden money saving part wouldent you. which is not using so much body protection
Suburbanator91 seems to be a good person in heart that's why he said that he would take that extra step if he ever got the chance to own a car company.
exactly it also looks alot beter on the frame as well. i know they put this rust proof stuff on well gm does and its like a grease you can scrap it off with your finger nail my dad bought a truck new and in 3 years it was gone nothing there now so we are under coating it well i am and my truck im restoring a 89 Chevy step side 350
Canadian here, and thats not totally true. In ontario they use salt on the roads, and it will EAT the metal away in a very short time. In Alberta, no salt is used. I own a 1985 Volvo witch is near mint. It has rust in typical places for an old car, but no where near the amount one exposed to salt would have. I applied a cheap ashphalt undercoat to the body myself, and its holding amazingly.
@suburbanator91 it wears away. in the winter it comes down to heat and food cars come last. but it works to buy the cans and do it urself for 30 bucks
