Now with the advance tech on paint and body work from factory, less of a need. Rust is no longer an issue on most, if not all, modern cars for the past 10-20 years Surprised to hear that some ADs still throwing in Tuff Kote as a 'freebie'. Thot aftermarket rust proofing market extinct loooong time ago oredi. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kb27 Supersonic April 27, 2020 Share April 27, 2020 In countries where cars are kept for decades, there is a need to undercoat the chassis. They salt the roads in winter, they have salt spray when you're near the ocean, etc. Unless you're sure the undercarriage is 100% protected, you may need some form of protection. B&B cars are still made of mild steel which tends to rest. Tuff kote I think is a cheap basic form of coating. There are others which may be more expensive. Coating ideally should still stick on even when pressure sprayed by water. I used this as a protectant, and it's tenacious, it clings to metal. But I've not used it in large quantity to undercoat. https://www.fluid-film.com/automotive-applications/ Do you need it ? It's up to you. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angcheek Hypersonic April 27, 2020 Share April 27, 2020 6 hours ago, Jamesc said: The best way to prevent rust on a car is by forcing a protective flow of electrons to the metal of your car. So adding extra grounding points to your car means sending electrons to your car body. For this process to work, you need a complete electrical circuit to bring the electrons back. So it will only work when your whole car is wet, like during heavy rain or when your car goes thru ponding. Isn't that the time when you need rust protection? May I suggest this 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xers007 Supercharged April 27, 2020 Share April 27, 2020 I remember my dad used to have a Mitsubishi Galant E10 with that cool orange digital instrument. But the inner part of the boot cover developed a fist size hole from rust after a few years of usage and from then on, he swore off from Mitsubishi and goes to Toyota.

If up to standard means the car metals are good enough to withstand the corrosion without extra protection, maybe not up to standard that is why local AD provide that extra.
