    Undercoating? Kung sa bagay..... given the road conditions dyan sa atin pero I'll give my 2 cents for whatever it's worth.

    It's a known fact that adding the undercoating just adds more places for corrosion to start. Every rustproofing job I've seen just introduces more holes into the car through which water can penetrate. I think it is virtually useless. Look at most cars ten years old or less.... It is hard to find rust, unless there is body work. But that's an observation made outside the Philippines.

    Anyway, undercoating may decrease sound levels if it is done properly but I wouldn't bet on it. What it will do for sure is increase weight, and may compromise the ability of your exhaust system to dissipate heat if done incorrectly.

    Your new vehicle will come with a 4, 7 or 10 year corrosion warranty, I wouldn't waste the money on those products. Just my humble opinion.
