Ziebart Undercarriage protectant yes or no?

[Jeff1759]

Been driving the truck for 6 months now and we know the bad winter weather is coming.
Ziebart is the closest and most easily found applicator.
Anyone with experience, yes or no?
Is it a good product that does what it claims?

No good. Ziebart is a hard coating, you want a waxy lanoline-based undercoating.
Look for fluid film, Krown, Rust Check in your area or just crawl under the truck and do it yourself.

You can pickup aerosol cans and hit it yourself, not really that difficult.

Rust Prevention

I recently purchased Cosmoline RP-342 after researching and seeing it is the sister product to the Honey Seal that Sublime Surfacing uses. I was thinking to go and get Sublime Surfacing to just do they're thing on the truck but thought I will wait a few years to save the 12 hour drive and see if...

I’m planning on using Blaster Surface Protector or CRC Corrosion Preventative

Krown, Ziebart or any one of the other options will each help. Ziebart has a fluid film style product called rust preventative, then they have the "sound deadener" that is the old school thickly applied black asphaltic product. Many folks dislike the sound deadener style of undercoat.

The bottom line, pick one.... any one... They will all buy you years of rust free life compared to doing nothing assuming that you live up here in the rust belt. Around me, trucks blow rust from the inside of body panels coming out to bubble the paint in 6-8 years typically. We sure love our salt mixed with de-ice chemicals.

Much like grease and oil.... anything is far better than nothing.

Corrosion free or fluid film is the best, avoid krown at all costs as it eats all rubbers and bushings

How do you get this crap off? Somebody did my car probably 20 years ago and it scrapes off like tar but I want to remove all of it

I had under coating on one of my 71 Skylarks. I used paint thinner, scraper, wire brush, steel wool, scotch bright. It was a major pain in the ass.

This is the after pic.

This is the end result after paint...
