Undercoating your vehicles frame provides a layer of protection against rust and corrosion. With harsh Maine winters, the salt used to treat the roads can have a negative impact on your vehicles components. Used vehicles especially need protection — while it's already been exposed to contaminants and rust, applying undercoating will help prevent further damage and help slow down rust from spreading. Even new vehicles can start to show signs of corrosion in a little as 3 years. An added bonus is that it may help with sound dampening.

 

Although an undercoating treatment will eventually wear out, it can provide years of protection. The product used is a rubberized undercoat. This is NOT fluid film or any of the other thin, water/oil/wax based applications that remain wet and drip or need to be applied multiple times a year.

 

The process starts with a thorough washing of the vehicles frame and components with 3000psi of hot water to remove dirt, grime, flaking rust, and any remaining old undercoating. Getting the frame as clean as possible ensures the best longevity. Then the vehicle body is taped off, covered with plastic to protect the paint, running boards and exhaust parts are covered, and skid plates and tires (spare included) are removed. Now its time to apply the rubberized undercoat!

 

** It is recommended to wait a few days before using a car wash to allow the product to fully harden and cure. There may be a faint smell for a day as any overspray burns off any exposed components.
