IMHO, a waste of money.
Cars come factory undercoated and in several cases adding
addional undercoating voids the factory rust warantee.
Besides which, all they do is rattle-can on undercoating you
could do yourself for $30 or less.
As for waxing, that's pure --------. The dealer should detail
your car for delivery as a part of the service. Seriously, clean
it yourself, that way some lowbuck trainee doesn't scratch the
paint before you can.

Re: undercoating
Damn, Nathan. waxing is part of Dealer Prep and is included in the MSRP.
As far as undercoating, if I _was_ going to do it, I'd do it myself.

i dont think that applies if youre paying green sheet. they even charge you
$15 for the gas that comes in the tank, undertandably.

ive often wondered why people rhino line the inside of their tubs. would
make more sense to me to rhino line the under side of the tub.

Re: undercoating
My '02 TJ has a LOT of undercarriage rust. Of course, Cleveland Ohio winters
and TONS of salt on the roads don't help. I think I am going to have my next
new vehicle undercoated by Ziebart. Do you have a Ziebart near you Nathan?
If so, you might want to talk to them first, before making a decision.

I would NOT trust the dealer to do a proper job.
