i got a protection package from the dealership that sprayed my paint to protect from that stuff, and also a spray on thingy kinda like rhino liner on the undercarriage. it warranties the paint againts spots and the undercarriage against rust

2/4 20/40 engine oil, 1/4 wheel bearing grease, 1/4 trans fluid. Best rustproofing ever.

I have a 1994 Isuzu Amigo. It was undercoated with LineX when new. It sees salt in the winter and mud in the summer, and these things are rust buckets. The sides of the car are rusting but the entire underbody is solid.

An underbody protectant really isn't that expensive- a few hundred bucks? Probably worthwhile for anyone doing winter driving.

Buy roof shingles and cut them out to the shape of the under body and tar them on jk, Look into por-15 I used it on a old restoration project once and liked it.

I stretched the body to make it a 4 door, but I swapped in the 3.6L DI V6 for fuel economy. Then I picked up a corvette body around the V8. I also swapped the body for a C2 Z28. (In short I traded it for three cars, a Corvette Z06r, a C2 Camaro Z28, and a Cadillac CTS Summer Performance package 3.6L DI with Aisin 6spd.)
