Any thoughts on rust undercoating, whether from dealer or not? I saw a demo in person, it looks goopy and clumpy, thought it may potentially ruin the aesthetics of the underbody and also the resell value of the components like the exhaust. Live in a snow heavy area.

I don’t want no Tru Coat.

One of our shop cars came with a non-negotiable under coating. I spent 10 hours over two days stripping it all off. This and tire shine are my two least favorite things ever.

Just wash your damn car regularly.

So the owner paid money for the non-negotiable coating and then paid you money to strip it all off?

Why is it only half covered?

How often are you actually going to look under there? Unless you're a car collector or live in a region without snow, I don't see why you wouldn't.

Not good advice for anyone that lives in the north.

It's a demonstration display sitting sideways in the dealer showroom.

Yep, ACF-50 or one of these (if available in the US) for me: The BEST motorcycle rust inhibitors

I don't like that black undercoating because it can be a real pain if you ever need to undo any fasteners, if carelessly applied it can plug up drain holes, and I've heard tales of it partially peeling and trapping water and junk underneath it and making corrosion worse.
