Product Information

Full details

The Simply Auto Rubber Underbody Coat is an essential maintenance product for vehicle owners looking to extend the lifespan of their car, van, 4x4, or trailer by preventing rust and corrosion. It offers a heavy-duty, rubberized barrier that shields critical undercarriage components from moisture, road salt, and abrasive stone chips, all while providing subtle sound-deadening benefits. While highly effective, users should note that the application process requires careful surface preparation to ensure the coating adheres correctly and remains durable over time.

FAQs

Can I paint over the rubber underbody coat?

It is not recommended to paint over this product, as it is designed as a final, flexible protective layer.

Do I need to remove old rust before applying?

Yes, you must remove loose or flaking rust with a wire brush or sandpaper to ensure the product adheres properly to the metal.

How long does it take to dry?

Touch-dry time typically takes a few hours, but it is recommended to let the vehicle stand for 24 hours before exposing it to road debris.

Can this be used on an exhaust system?

No, this product is not heat-resistant and should not be applied to exhausts or engine components.

Does it require a primer?

For most clean metal surfaces, no primer is required, provided the metal is clean, dry, and free of oil.

How many cans do I need for an average car?

A 1-litre container is usually sufficient for touching up high-risk areas, but a full chassis coating on a large 4x4 may require multiple litres.

Troubleshooting

Coating is peeling shortly after application

This usually indicates the surface was not properly cleaned or was still wet/oily before application. Remove the loose coating, degrease, dry, and re-apply.

Spray gun is clogging

The product may be too thick or the gun nozzle is too small. Thin the product slightly if recommended, or clean the nozzle thoroughly with appropriate solvent.

Coating remains tacky after 24 hours

This is often caused by applying the product in temperatures that are too low or in high-humidity environments. Ensure the vehicle is in a dry, well-ventilated space above 15°C.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent resistance to salt and moisture-induced rust
  • Acts as an effective sound-deadener for a quieter ride
  • Provides physical protection against stone chips
  • Flexible finish prevents cracking during vehicle chassis flex
  • Easy to apply with professional or DIY tools

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface preparation for best results
  • Cannot be applied over loose rust or flaking paint
  • Requires proper ventilation during application
  • Once dry, the surface is permanently coated and difficult to remove

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, the vehicle underbody must be thoroughly cleaned with a degreaser and allowed to dry completely. Any existing loose rust should be removed with a wire brush, and the surface must be free of grease, oil, and loose dirt for the coating to bond.

  • Application: If using a spray gun, ensure your air pressure is set to the manufacturer's specification for the product viscosity to achieve an even coat. If using a brush, apply in thin, overlapping layers rather than one heavy, thick layer to prevent sagging.
  • Compatibility: Safe for use on metal surfaces commonly found on cars, vans, and trailers. Not recommended for use on brake components, exhaust systems, or suspension bushings.
  • Care: Periodically inspect the coated area annually. If physical damage occurs from deep scrapes, clean the area and re-apply the coating to maintain a sealed barrier.
