Default Spray undercoating

Hey, all, I'm looking to undercoat my Malibu before the snow flies, is there anything that anyone can recommend, as far as spray undercoating that I can do myself, and, is it easy to do?

If your car has rust on it now. You'd have to remove it before getting in undercoated.

Another option is getting it oil sprayed. Oil prevents and stops rust. That is something you could do yourself.

Before undercoating, its usually best to remove any and all rust like Nate said, and give it a GOOD steam cleaning.

And some oil in a spray bottle works as well, but is only temporary.

When I oil spray I have a spray gun with oil in it and go around the whole car while it'* on the lift. It can be pretty effective, when applied right. It'* good enough for one season.
