Default Paint, rust and 3M

Is it worth it to apply these to a newer vehicle, or is it a waste of $$?

Paint is nice. Rust is not nice, and 3m?

Are you talking about rust protection, & 3M clear bra? Rust protection is only good in the snow belt, & 3M clear bra will stop paint chips, but you will have to live with the line, where it stops.

yeah so defiently do the rust undercoating, and put a clear 3m bra on front and maybe on the lower pannels to protect from all the chips from sand and salt and big mutterfukin trucks

later
