undercoating

im sure everyone here has heard of the rubberized undercoating for trucks, now i was just looking for peoples opinion on whether if its a good idea to put on a truck that is already 5-6 years old?

It's never too late to undercoat, just make sure everything is clean and dry before applying it.

As long as rusted areas are completely sealed from the elements, it should be fine.

I wouldn't use anything other than waxoyl hard wax. You can go right over rust.
Been there done that..Any rubberized stuff will rust under it over time this stuff won't.

I've had great results with Eastwoods rustproofing products. there undercoating is kind of waxy feeling , plus if you sctrach it , it self heals , short of flows back together over the scratch , its avalible in a brown or black color , plus they have the rubberized type too. , Craig.
