1. Rubberized underbody coating:

This is the most common underbody coating for the car. It is used to protect a car underbody from the stone scratches, corrosion and it is reduced the road noise.

2. Wax based underbody coating:

3. Asphalt based underbody coating:

This is most suitable for truck and heavy passenger vehicles. It contains rubber-based material to reduce the noise of the vehicles.

4. Polyurethane based underbody coating:

This coating is used on splits and fractures on the underbody of the car. It is also providing a good protection from the corrosion. It is also a good bond with metal.

• Advantages of the under body coating:

1. Protect from the corrosion and moisture of the nature.
