Hello guy,s I want to get my truck undercoated this year and was wondering if anyone that lives in the rust belt has any special flavor they recommed.
Depends on the undercoating. Most cars have a soft rubber-like undercoating that dampens sound somewhat (think tiny pebbles constantly pelting the chassis) and that also keeps out road salt and moisture. In many countries additional underocating is applied once or twice a year. When I lived in Germany, we always had the old undercoating (cosmolene, paraffinated wax?) removed in the spring and replaced with fresh undercoating in the fall. If properly done, rust wasn't an issue.quote:
It's been my understanding that undercoating is formulated for noise reduction as opposed to rust protection.
That's good to know!quote:
From what I can tell the Amsoil Heavy Duty Metal Protector is basically Cosmoline.. I've also used it to undercoat my car and truck. It forms a durable waxy coating that repels water and salt...
