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.

Yes, I was thinking about rust undercoating, and 3M clear bra.....will probably do the bra, just not sure about rust undercoating and paint protection - is it really required on a new vehicle these days?..thks!

I thought that cars these days are made to withstand rust, and may even under the basic warranty?...just not sure ifI need todo the rust undercoating, so long as I keep it washed regularly to getrid of the road salt and sand....what do youthink?
