I just got a new car, and was wondering what is the best coating to put on the underside of the car to prevent any corrosion?

I wouldn't put anything on it. It's more likely to trap moisture or to block weep holes needed for proper drainage. I think the best thing to prevent corrosion is to flush the underside with a hose, and rinse out the rocker panels, inside front fenders, etc.

A neutron force field, like the USS Enterprise has. It will repel all forms of moisture and salt and it might, just might, prevent your new car from rusting. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool.gif)
Congratulations. What ever you do, take good care of your new car. My car, when I bought it, had an oil/tar undercoating on it over top of an epoxy primer and it didn't do squat. I think I'm going to try POR-15 in all the critical areas as part of my restoration. Lots of guys on this forum recommend it. |

If your going to put something on it.. Por15 would be the choice...
It would stop what rust you have on it, and prevent any more rust from accumulating. |

I think you need to treat the rust first with an acid wash such as Metal Prep, before using Por 15 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
