UNDERBODY

Underbody Protection

Protecting your vehicle’s underbody is essential for extending its lifespan and maintaining performance. At CTO Industries, we offer advanced underbody protection solutions designed for drivers across Australia—from city commuters in Brisbane and Melbourne to fleet operators navigating harsh terrains in Darwin and the Sunshine Coast.

Why Underbody Protection Matters

The underside of any vehicle is exposed to road debris, moisture, salt, and harsh environments. Without proper coating and protection, corrosion can jeopardize critical components such as the chassis, brake lines, exhaust, and suspension. Investing in underbody protection preserves value, prevents costly repairs, and ensures safe driving in all conditions.

Types of Underbody Protection Techniques

• Rustproofing & Undercoating
  Heavy-duty sprays protect the chassis, floor pans, wheel arches, and suspension with durable barriers that resist moisture and debris. Ideal for frequent drivers in coastal or rural areas.

• Wax-Based or Rubberized Coatings
  Flexible, elastic layers that adapt to surface contours. Excellent for resisting cracks and maintaining coverage across uneven terrain.

• Transparent Anti-Corrosion Coatings
  Modern clear sealants preserve vehicle appearance while allowing easy inspection for rust—ideal for 4WD enthusiasts who regularly tackle mud, salt, and water crossings.

• Electronic Corrosion Mitigation Systems
  Advanced options that use ion or chemical inhibitors to reduce rust build-up across the underbody and chassis without added coatings.

Benefits of Underbody Protection

1. Enhanced Longevity
   Shields vital parts from rust and corrosion, preserving structural integrity.

2. Maintained Resale Value
   Rust-free vehicles demand better resale prices, especially for trusted brands like LandCruiser, Prado, or Ranger commonly used with underbody kits.

3. Improved Safety
   Protection for brake and fuel lines ensures consistent performance and reduces risk of failure.

4. Noise Reduction
   Thicker undercoats dampen road noise for smoother, quieter driving.

5. Cost Savings Over Time
   Prevent expensive rust repairs and extend intervals between maintenance.

How to Choose the Right Protection

Consider these when selecting underbody treatments:

• Driving Conditions: Coastal and salted roads require thicker or transparent protection.

• Frequency of Use: Regular off-road or fleet use demands durable, long-life coatings.

• Inspection Needs: Clear coatings make rust checks easy without scraping off layers.

• Maintenance Preferences: If you prefer simple upkeep, go for wipe-clean or insect-resistant finishes.

• Coverage Areas: Ensure the entire underbody, including chassis rails and rear shock mounts, is treated.

Installation & Care Tips

• Always clean and dry the underbody thoroughly before applying any coating.

• Choose a reputable installer or certified spray service to guarantee full coverage.

• Avoid steam cleaning directly underneath to preserve the coating.

• Inspect and refresh any damaged areas if scratches or chips appear after off-road use.
