Really not needed on modern cars. It's usually sold as an add-on at dealerships to increase profit margin. It sometimes can actually trap moisture in and cause problems.

I'm aware that it's often a trap, but I want it for my specific vehicle - it was made in '99, while better rust protection was only introduced for the '00 model year. I bought it in Texas specifically because the frame was in great condition - rust is the big killer for Toyota BoF SUVs and I want to keep mine as long as possible.

I won't be driving much in the snow anyway, but the general consensus on the vehicle-specific forums is that it's worth getting.

https://nhoilundercoating.com/ this is the product I use on my rust prone Toyota. There are some local shops that apply it or you can get the sprayer and do it yourself. Definitely get something on it. Heard of lots of nice southern trucks seriously damaged after only a couple years of winters here

Yep, I'll probably just put something like that on myself. I was mainly looking for a specialist shop because I'll pay for someone with lots of experience doing this kind of stuff to apply it.

Super Shine Solutions in Sutton, right off 146, exit 9. They do that, detailing, films, tint, ceramic coating, and paint-less dent removal. The owner Shawn is a great guy and been doing that kind of work for a long time.

Good news. I talked to my manager and he agreed to knock $100 off that Tru Coat

$100? You lied to me, Mr. Lundegaard. You're a bald faced liar.

Undercoat is BS..just wash your car and use soap..just rinsing it only reactivates the salt. If you use a car wash get the undercarriage wash
