Underbody Rust
Hi
I got my car rust proofed the day I bought it. My 08 is only two months old and it is already starting to rust underneith. Should I be concerned how bad is it going to get??
I am starting to regret buying the Jeep, between the leaking roof which I got back from the dealership worse then before, to the other little problems I have had, and now the diff cover and parts of the frame and other suspension parts rusting this Jeep is pissing me off.

I'm not sure if they over salt in your area but you should try powerwashing off the bottom I never undercoated and live in very salted area hamilton. No rust exept on axles which is normal

I do pressure wash my jeep once a week, and I got my jeep rust proofed and less then two months later is is starting rust. So far this new jeep has been nothing but a headache.

i used to detail cars when i was in college and the chemical company i dealt with sold a black spray paint just for the wheelwells and other parts that needed re-freshed. i used it on my yj at the time and it worked well. i probably had to do it every few months, but it kept my leaf springs, etc. looking nice.
