undercoating worth it?

[outdoorsmen]

anybody do it? my dealer was teling me about it when i asked he about line-xing the wheel wells, which he had never heard of.... he said the undercoating is a sound deadener and protectent, $200 including the wheel wells, worth it?

He is correct and if he's willing to undercoat your whole truck and wheel wells for $200 buy him dinner also.

for $200 they are using a solvent based product. an asphalt based product like what ming uses will run substantially more. the product he is using is more than likely an autobutler type system which is sprayed out of a can that hooks into an air hose. its not a terrible product, but its not even similar to true undercoating.

Yea you may need to find out what material he's using. He'll be like "wtf I wasn't expecting that question".

Paid 150 to LINEX both my wheel wells and worth EVERY PENNY. I got the PREMIUM LINE X - cleans up easier.

LineX. They did my wheel wells, Floor pans and undercoated the bed to. =)

My local line x didn't want to do my wheel wells said it was to hard. Called another line x place they told me it wasn't worth it and.they.don't do.it. called a third and.they.said yes. They recommend a cheaper rubber type material. So it sounds like to me these places don't know what they are talking about.

So is the solvent based no good? I'm going to called him back and see what they use.

Undercoated my rear wheel wells a year and a half ago and it's held up perfectly. I used 3M.

x2 $4 vs. $150. It was a no brainer for me. I'm not saying Line-X is bad choice, just that you have to weight the pros and cons.

Also, I undercoated the truck myself. Here is the thread.
