Al the new cars I have bought in the past 5 years I have not necessarily used underseal but I have added to the protection of the underside and cavities.
If you look under a lot of new cars and underneath the covers, the floor pan is usually covered in very little.
What I have done is take off all the underside trays and wheel arch liners and applied undercoat and top coat in 2 pack. Then I have waxoyled the lot before replacing the trays and liners.
I have also filled the cavities with cavity filler similar to waxoyl but thicker and applied through a gun.
I mean to keep my cars and have them keep the rust at bay for as long as possible.
I have also covered all the brake pipes in grease and every exposed nut and bolt as well. This should give me a fighting chance for any repairs in the future.
Funnily enough the 240 I bought eariler in the year had a similar treatment at some point in its life and the pipes are still in good order some 26 years later.
