Advantages:

• Excellent resistance of rust and corrosion
• Reduces noise vibrations harshness from the system
• Good resistance of wear and tear, furthermore avoid scratching

• Easy cleaning
• Aids in value of a vehicle

Disadvantages:

• Less effective if the body already corroded
• Not impervious to damage
• Need to re-apply after few years for prolonged life

Conclusion:

Underbody coating is one of the important methods to avoid corrosion, wear & tear and improve the performance and better isolation to the system. Furthermore, it must be done in every fix of duration to prolong the life of the vehicle.
