Undercoating

~1min read
Read and follow the introductory information and safety information first⇒Introduction to the subject

The vehicle underbody is coated to help protect it from corrosion and damage. The undercoating could be damaged during normal use. We therefore recommend that you have the protective coatings on the underbody and suspension inspected regularly, and repaired if necessary.

Undercoating and rustproofing products can catch fire on the hot exhaust system or any other hot engine component.
  • Never apply additional undercoating or rustproofing on or near the exhaust manifold, the exhaust pipes, the catalytic converter, the heat shields, or any other hot vehicle component.
