Car undercoating is basically an extra service which is though quite costly and expensive. But it helps extend car life and its utility. It provides a protective layer and insulation to the vehicle. If we come to how it is done is not rocket science. Ingredients used in manufacturing consist of rubber, ceramics, silicone, ceramics, asphalt or petroleum, fiberglass.
Each of the ingredients has different properties with regard to the retention of heat. All the ingredients play the same role that is to protect against any sort of damage.
Whenever a car is out on the road, it takes scrapes, debris, and bumps from the road. This is the reason professionals often recommend car undercoating for the purpose of protection.
As our vehicle has a nature of wear and tear thus it becomes vulnerable to rust and corrosion.

Lift the Car
In order to lift the car, we require a hydraulic jack. Then, we require setting it on the blocks. It is important to note that we work in a properly ventilated room. We also need to ensure that we breathe properly in a room, as it requires painting.
Clean the Undercarriage
Use a degreaser to clean the lower and under part of the car. Once it is complete, use the grinder to get out of the rust spots affixed in the car. Wipe all the dust in the car. If there are minute articles then use metal sandpaper to remove such debris.
Priming and Painting
After cleaning the dust and other areas thoroughly, we are in a position to apply primer. Keep it for dry, and then cover the area using black automotive paint. After the paint, it is a nod to move on to the next step.
Applying Undercoating
Use the paintbrush to undercoat the car. It is advisable to use the products carefully and efficiently. Cover each and every part of the car. We have to make sure that every part of the car which can rust and corrode has undercoating. After first undercoating, wait for it to dry.

Benefits of undercoating
In addition to protecting the car from rust and corrosion, it also helps to reduce engine noise and road noise. It leaves the passenger compartment quiet than before.
