Default Undercoating?

Anyone undercoat the underside of their car? I am starting to upgrade the drivetrain on my 2000 camaro and cleaned up the surface rust on the undercarriage. I am spot coating the rust spots with Eastwood rust encapsulator and I’m thinking about coating the entire undercarriage. I don’t want anything rubberized any ideas?

Look up woolwax. I've used it put don't know the results after years of abuse yet. It's wax based and shouldn't peel or trap moisture.

Other than that i sanded and painted the bottom of mine.

I also sanded my floor boards and sprayed black rustoleum on everything I could. It was surprisingly easy and looks better.

Looks nice! I checked their web site and it’s a very interesting product only thing I couldn’t find is if you have to reapply yearly(not a fan of those products).

like por15 you should etch bare metal, and sand for painted surfaces. Also it turns sort of a greenish color if you don’t paint it, so top coating with paint is recommended
