Underbody Coating

PROS OF UNDERCOATING:

• Protection against the corrosion rust

Undercoating offers a layer of protection against corrosion and rust. Any debris will be repelled by the undercoating.

• Extend the life of vechile.

Corrosion isn’t just about causing an issue with the metal under your car but it can also get into cables and wires – in fact anything made of aluminum or steel can be affected including the engine and transmission.

• cover small damages.

can undercoat damaged parts of the car such as scratches, chips and nicks caused by debris flying up as you drive.

• Reduce Noise of the car.

Undercoating your vehicle can reduce noise inside the car while you’re driving.

CONS OF UNDERCOATING:

• it's not effective in the car with corrosion

if vehicle already has some corrosion it isn’t as effective.

Applying undercoat over rust means that although you’re stopping more moisture and airflow to the rusted area, the rusting process will still keep happening.

An undercoat will slow down the corrosion rather than reverse or stop it. You should attempt to remove the rust before applying an undercoat.

This isn’t always easy though, since rust can penetrate deeply into the metal.

• doesn't work well on the old cars

Undercoating doesn’t work so well on old cars because the residue from under the car has to be removed before the undercoating is applied.

• it makes vechicle heavier.

It makes the vehicle 10 to 20 pounds heavier which affects fuel economy (how far you can travel on one tank of gas).

This is negligible in terms of fuel costs but still something to bear in mind.

• it can be expensive.

Reapply it every 3 to 5 years. This is the only way to ensure your vehicle is protected properly.
