Undercoating

[Jeff1759]

Looking around under my new 3500 and wondering if folks here have done any undercoating like Ziebart or Krown?
Is this no longer necessary on newer vehicles like it might have been years ago?
Want to protect this investment as best I can, but don't want to spend money on something that's not really needed.
Any opinions?

Very good to undercoat but never use krown it turns rubbers to mush i learned that the hard way, no idea on ziebart but for me i have mine annually sprayed with fluid film it is the best stuff i have ever used!

I have never undercoated before, do you just spray that stuff indiscriminately down there? How many cans do you go through or do you have someone do it? If so how much?

I just buy the 5 gallon pails and spray myself, fluid film for the inaccessible areas and wool wax for underneath on the exposed areas.

Cans of fluid film and woolwax work just fine. Try Amazon to buy in bulk. They are super convenient and make touch ups through the season easy. 6-8 cans should be good.
I used to pay to have it done. Then the shop chipped my door paint, broke a tail light, and left a bolt in my tailgate hinge. Nobody works on my trucks anymore, period.

I use CRC Marine Rust Inhibitor. More “robust” than Fluid Film IMO.

Is this something you do in your garage or driveway and how much of a mess does it make in the garage or driveway.

I pay my guy $120 and let him deal with the mess.

Personally, I do it on my lift with the dedicated spray gun for it. It was money well spent. You could do it it driveway, but I don’t crawl if I don’t have too. Some dripping if over applied, but not too bad in my book. Wool wax is thicker and stays put better for exposed areas. Now I just have to figure out if the 3500 will clear on the lift........that’s another story. For what it’s worth, fluid film and wool wax comes in spray cans for driveway application Or general touch up.
