That gunk will trap dirt and moisture. Don't fall for the undercoating myth.

How often should undercoating be applied in Edmonton?
Car undercoating in Edmonton protects vehicles by creating a sealed barrier between the metal undercarriage and corrosive road salt used during Alberta winters. Road salt accelerates oxidation when combined with moisture and freezing temperatures. A professionally applied undercoating—either oil-based or rubberized—prevents saltwater from reaching exposed metal surfaces such as frame rails, brake lines, and suspension components. For Edmonton drivers facing heavy winter road treatment, annual undercoating significantly reduces rust formation, extends vehicle lifespan, and helps maintain resale value.
Do you have to undercoat each year?
