Why underbody cleaning is important

We've all been there. Just gotten back from an extended adventure out in the wilds, unloaded all the sandy camp furniture, fast food wrappers and "not sure if clean clothes", the very last thing we want to do is crawl around underneath the 4WD and experience something akin to Chinese water torture as we clean the mud, sand and salt that has accumulated.

Unfortunately, this is a very important part of vehicle maintenance, and those who neglect it will find that rust will quickly take hold of any unpainted (including scratched, gouged or dented) metals. This can be catastrophic for older cars which are not as well sealed as modern counterparts.
Anyone doing maintenance on their own vehicles will also know the delicious taste of the sand and mud from recent trips as it rains down upon your face upon a single turn of a ratchet on your sump plug.

All of this can be avoided by giving your underbody a good clean after each trip, and applying a protective underbody coating that resists corrosion, salt, mud and sand. Traditional methods like Fish oil, lanolin, boiled linseed oil (don't even go there) worked relatively well for that first part, but are the biggest dust and sand magnets out there. Electronic rust proofing is a highly debated topic, and has never been proven in any real capacity to help.

We set out a number of years ago to develop a solution that protects the underbody of your car, truck, 4WD, boat trailer, caravan, pretty much anything that heads off the beaten track, but it had to meet our strict standards. We wanted something that was very protective and durable, super hydrophobic, without being sticky, greasy or tacky. Over 400 formula changes and intense beach holiday testing was done to arrive at our final formula - Introducing Under Armer.
