undercoat later?
 

Originally when I got my car three months ago I wasn't planning to keep it after the lease but now I'm planning to keep it for as long as I could... can I still do an undercoat later or does it HAVE to be done when you get the car

It should be done when brand new, I would wait until summer and do it. Make sure the underbody is clean of dirt, salt etc and then do the undercoating.

I have no mount or anything to fully clean underneath... would regular detailling places do that?

Where can someone w/ a 12 year old car get undercoating done again?

I know in Alberta people would take it to Krown for rust proofing and such, anything like that in Vancouver??

there are some places on east kent that can do undercoating. Wait until summer, clean your car and make sure your car is dry underneath, then bring it in

how much is undercoat?

dont leave bird crap on your car for too long itll burn into that

What does bird crap have to do with undercoating?

i second that question...

maybe he was talking about bird crap on the bottom of my car?

Personally I dont see how bird crap would end up on the underbody:confused:

haha, birds with that unique ability like from the movie "Wanted"

if u can curve a bullet from a gun, you can curve that bird shit to hit the underbody!

Krown is a very good undercoat product, it is the penetrating (soak in) type of undercoat. They offer a truly AWESOME warranty, only drawback is it's kinda far. Closest Krown local to GVRD is in Squamish. But you can make a day trip of it, if you feel like driving the Sea to Sky Highway on a nice day.

Always do your undercoats in the summer, in case you didn't hear that enough already ;)

did OP get the undercoat? where and how much?

Undercoating your car here on the west coast is pretty much a waste of money. Even though we do see some poor weather in the winter and do get some salt / brine laid on our roads, it's not enough to cause your vehicle any issues. Case in point, my Passat has 180,000 kms on it and was originally from Ontario where winters are way worse than here and yet the rust on the bottom of my car is very minimal. If it makes you feel better, go ahead, but make sure its done during a hot spell as undercoating a damp undercarriage will inevitably trap moisture and then you will have an issue.
