Underbody Sealant

[RidgeMe]

While I agree rust protection has improved over the years. I find it hard to believe no one has seen the perhaps the most popular minivans like the Caravans, Voyagers, with rust on their tailgates.

I agree again, that if the vehicle is very well maintained then it should meet anyones expectations. Afterall, most people don't live in Salt States, lots of people will trade the vehicle in a few years anyway, so no need for anything better as far as protection. Given those odds of ever needing warrenty repair, you shouldn't ever have an issue.

The package I bought had interior protectant, exterior paint protectant, sound proofing, and undercoating. Perhaps I got ripped off. But I feel it surely couldn't hurt. Even though many comments indicated it would damage my vehicle.

This discussion parrallels the discussion about changing oil early, before the almighty sensor tells you to do it. If Honda doesn't tell you to do it, then it's poison, it's very bad for your vehicle, and may void your warrenty. Next I will hear "Only Let Honda Service Your Vehicle". "Any one other isn't worthy." Geez...make the guy stop the rant....hahahahahaha

All in all, it's ok to disagree, and it's been a very informative discussion. Thats what this forum is all about. I like to hear all the comments and all comments are worthy of discussion. It gives all the viewers a education on the topic, so they can make a better personal choice. Thanks everyone for the input.

We have a rustproofing product called "Krown" here (in Canada), I have used it on my last Vehicle for almost 10 years and not one spot of rust anywhere.Its thin oily stuff,and creeps in every seam and hard to get area , it doesn't dry up and trap moisture after a few years like the wax base products. Here with all the salt on the road, it works, I do it for 2 or 3 years in a row when vehicle is new and then after every other year.only costs $120.00 per application.

I use Krown as well and have used it for six years at least. Besides the rust protection it also lubricates the moving parts such as power windows, hood latches, door hinges etc. Haven't had any rust problems in my last two vehicles both GMC's using Krown. (sounds like a commercial)

My truck has been through 3 winters here in Cleveland OH and the underside is as clean as the day I bought it. That is impressing me the most about the build quality. If you don't live in the North with salt you wouldn't understand. Most frames crust and scale in 3-5 years.
