Undersealing is preventative protection applied to suitable areas underneath a vehicle to reduce exposure to moisture, winter salt and road grime. The important word is suitable: a coating should not be used to disguise heavy corrosion, loose material or structural problems.
What a good underseal job starts with
Before product is applied, the underside should be assessed for corrosion, existing coatings, contamination and access. Light preparation may be enough on a sound vehicle; heavier corrosion or failing coatings can require additional work first.
What underseal can and cannot do
A suitable treatment can help protect exposed metal and vulnerable areas. It cannot repair structural rust, replace welding, guarantee an MOT pass or make existing damage disappear.
When to consider it
Underbody protection is particularly worth considering when you plan to keep a vehicle, drive through British winters, live near the coast or have bought a sound used vehicle you want to preserve.
