Underbody protection againts rust???

When chating to my dealer re work to do in order to bring the car to its original factory state he mentioned that it may be worth considering to clean the underbody from all rust and apply some sort of coating/protection - anyone done this? ... heard off?

Waxoyl is common underbody sealant and its not uncommon for people to do it - most owners of RRS or D3/4 dont care - but there is advantages if you are going to keep it etc Mike

I've done loads of cars.

It can be messy but it's really a skill thing and a compressor! Mike

Check out Bilt Hambers products on under body repair and protection. They are raved about in 'classic car' circles and really know their stuff.
By all accounts far easier to use and better than Waxoyl ON THE WAY: BMW F21 M140i

Be careful - badly done it can cause as many problems again, especially if it blocks drain holes.
