Undercoating

crazygamer209 · 12-23-2015, 10:12 AM

Hey everyone, I'm looking to get a new 370z Sport in the coming months. As I live in Central Jersey, winters can get a bit rough at times with salt on the roads and such (probably not this year by the looks of things). I was wondering if its worth getting an undercoating done after I take delivery of the car to prevent future rust/corrosion or would it be advisable to just leave it and rinse the underbody whenever possible during the winter? This car will be my daily driver and I plan on keeping it until one of us can't drive anymore. Thanks for the help!

Not really worth it. Just wait till the salt from the roads gets washed or mostly blown away and then give a good undercarriage wash.

Salt or no salt, the rustproofing can help to reduce road noise if that's an issue for you.

I wouldn't mind an undercoating. Where do you get it?
