Does a new car need underbody armor?
2 Answers
Whether a new car needs underbody armor depends on the owner's needs. Installation is recommended if frequently driving on special road conditions. Underbody armor is a high-tech adhesive rubber asphalt coating that can be sprayed on areas such as the car's chassis, fuel tank, and lower guard plates. These exposed areas are prone to damage from the elements, and underbody armor quickly forms an elastic protective layer to provide excellent protection for the vehicle's chassis. Underbody armor is non-toxic, offers high coverage and adhesion, and can be applied to exposed parts like the vehicle's chassis, wheel hubs, fuel tank, lower panels, and trunk. Once dried, it forms a durable elastic protective layer that prevents impacts from flying stones and gravel, as well as protects against moisture, acid rain, and salt corrosion on the metal chassis, preventing rust and ensuring driving safety.
Chassis armor is essentially spraying a special anti-rust coating on the underside of a new car, which effectively prevents stone impacts, rust, and corrosion. It's particularly practical for driving in areas with heavy rain, snow, or severe salt exposure. From my perspective, it's like putting armor on the car. New cars come with basic protection from the factory, but adding an extra layer of armor makes them more durable and reduces driving noise. I've seen many customers' new cars develop rust on the chassis after a few years, requiring expensive repairs. In contrast, applying armor in advance typically costs only a few hundred to a thousand yuan. Whether it's worth it depends on your driving conditions: if you frequently drive on mountain roads, beaches, or urban roads treated with salt in winter, I strongly recommend it. Otherwise, you might be wasting money. Remember to choose a reputable shop for the job and avoid cheap, low-quality materials.
