Should You Undercoat Your Car? Unexpected Benefits

Anh Tuan, a resident of Cau Giay district in Hanoi, is known for his Dongfeng truck, which he drives daily on the Lang – Hoa Lac route. Initially, his truck was shiny and powerful. However, after a short time, worrying rust spots started appearing on the undercarriage. It turned out that he had neglected to undercoat his vehicle, saving a few million VND but facing the consequence of rapid deterioration.

So, the question is: Should you undercoat your car?

Surprising Benefits of Car Undercoating

Protecting the Undercarriage from Environmental Impacts

The undercarriage is the part of the car that comes into direct contact with the road surface, making it vulnerable to dirt, rocks, rainwater, and grime. Especially when driving on flooded roads, like Nguyen Trai Street during the rainy season, or carrying heavy loads on Truong Chinh Street, the undercarriage is more susceptible to oxidation and rust. Undercoating acts as a protective layer, shielding the undercarriage from these negative impacts.

Reducing Noise and Vibration

Do you find it annoying when driving on the Phap Van – Cau Gie highway with the constant noise from the undercarriage? Undercoating has soundproofing capabilities, minimizing noise from the engine and road surface, providing a smoother and more comfortable driving experience.

Undercoating helps prevent oxidation, thereby extending the lifespan of the undercarriage, saving you on repair and maintenance costs in the long run.
