Rustproofing

Well, I ordered a 150 Lariat (w the V-8, thanks to all who helped on the other thread).

I have read somewhere in this forum that nowadays we have rustproofing applications that actually work. I did not know that. My only experience was the old undercoating tar spray that to me was messy and ineffective.

I would like to protect this new truck with a rustproofing application but I know nothing about it and I seek advice, particularly from those with firsthand experience.

I did a search which resulted in numerous results, none of which contained rustproofing in the title 😳, so I ask here.

Thank you!

Don't get the rubber based undercoating, will actually make things worse.

Look into wool wax and fluid film. They are basically the same thing but wool wax is a little thicker and hangs onto the frame longer from my experience. Both will need to be reapplied annually based on your driving conditions.
