Rust forms on vehicles when metal surfaces are exposed to water and oxygen over time, leading to oxidation. Moisture in the air and accumulated water on the vehicle can cause this process. Salt and road debris, especially in snowy or salted areas, accelerate rust formation by speeding up oxidation.

Rust can spread quickly, weakening the metal and causing serious structural issues. Regular maintenance, like washing and waxing, helps protect the vehicle’s surface. But what about the underbody? Applying rubberized undercoating can provide essential protection, preventing rust and extending your vehicle’s life.

Rubberized undercoating is a protective coating applied to a vehicle’s underside, designed to shield the undercarriage from damage caused by road debris, salt, and moisture. Made from a blend of rubber polymers and solvents, it creates a flexible, durable barrier that ensures long-lasting protection.

Rubberized undercoating is a protective coating applied to a vehicle’s underside to shield it from road debris, salt, and moisture. Made from a blend of rubber polymers and solvents, it creates a flexible, durable barrier. Applied with a spray gun, this coating dries to form a resilient layer that withstands harsh road conditions, ensuring long-lasting protection for your vehicle’s undercarriage.

Typically, our product is designed to be a one-time application that lasts a lifetime on most vehicles. For new vehicles without rust, our product can effectively resist the elements and prevent rust from forming on the underbody. However, older vehicles may require more than one application to ensure maximum protection against rust. If the underbody of the vehicle is scraped or damaged, it’s important to apply a fresh coat of our product to replace any missing protection.

Rubber undercoating is usually favored over oil-based alternatives for several reasons:

1. Durability: Rubber undercoating offers greater durability, enduring harsh weather conditions, road salt, and other environmental factors that can damage a vehicle.

2. Sound Dampening: Apart from protection, rubberized undercoating minimizes road noise and vibrations, ensuring a smoother, more comfortable ride—a feature lacking in oil-based products.

3. Rust Prevention: It forms a moisture-resistant barrier, preventing water and air from reaching the metal surface, thereby halting the oxidation process responsible for rust.

4. Fewer Applications: Unlike oil-based alternatives that need yearly reapplication due to gradual washing away, rubberized undercoating forms a long-lasting bond and dries rapidly.

On the other hand, oil-based undercoating can be messy, challenging to apply evenly, and prone to attracting dirt and debris.
