Years ago.
Neighbor No. 1
New GMC extended cab.
Stopped by with new truck. Advised him to get annual oil undercoating.
He laughed. Scoffed. That Rusty Jones does not work. Of course, oil undercoating is not Rusty Jones hard plastic coating. He did not know difference.
Years later. Neighbors nice GMC extended cab pickup truck is all rusted. Underneath. Outside rust. Rockers rusted. Cab corners rusted. Above rear wheel wells. Rusted. body paint rusted.
His next new truck - wait for it - got annual oil undercoating. In fact, he found 2 other places that do oil undercoating that I did not know about. Since then, EVERY pickup truck he has purchased gets annual oil undercoating.
Neighbor 2
Years ago.
He got a new Chevrolet extended cab pickup truck.
Advised him of annual oil undercoating.
He laughed and scoffed.
Years later same as above. Rockers, cab corners, rear wheel wells, and rust shown all over truck.
Friend 3
Got a new extended Ford pickup truck.
Advised him of annual oil undercoating.
He too laughed and scoffed. Not worth it as "new cars don't rust anymore".
Years later.
He had to junk this pickup truck as the frame was rusted along with most of the body. Could not be viable to fix.
Junked. Sent to crusher.
Again, each to their own. It's your money. Spend as you like.
