Question Undercoating?

Any advice on undercoating my 2004 RX? PA winters can be brutal. Car purchased in FL.

Any special consideration needed?

Thanks,

Kenny

I live in PA also. Had my 2014 IS350 undercoated at Ziebart for around $400 with a 10 year warranty. Some folks will do their own using Fluidfilm, POR 15, or something else. They did inside all the doors, inside wheel wells, along the edges of the hood, and other hard to reach places.

They first completely steam the entire undercarriage, then sand and clean up any rust with a wire brush before putting on the rustproofing/undercoating. There are some projects I will gladly let someone else do well, this is a good investment. The car goes back annually for touch ups for around $35.
