How to Stop Frame Rot: The Best Undercoating for the Salt Belt

How to Stop Frame Rot: The Best Undercoating for the Salt Belt In today's episode of Old Glory Garage, we are tackling one of the most important maintenance tasks for anyone living in the Salt Belt: Rust Prevention. I’m taking my wife's "new to us" 2014 Suburban to get a professional oil-based undercoating before the Michigan winter hits. I’ll show you why I choose oil over rubberized coatings, the benefits of "clear" vs "black" spray, and why internal frame protection is the only way to save your truck from rotting from the inside out. Whether you've got a southern transplant or a local daily driver, an annual rust-proofing routine is the best way to extend your vehicle's life and avoid the "broken frame" heartbreak.

Avoid Rubberized Coatings: These often trap moisture against the metal once they chip, actually accelerating rust instead of stopping it. Clear vs. Black: Clear coating is preferred for DIY mechanics because it keeps the undercarriage visible and clean to work on without getting covered in black carbon. Hardware Protection: Undercoating acts as a long-term penetrant, making sure bolts and brake lines don't seize up over time.
