4cylinder Posted January 16, 2018 at 04:47 PM Report Share Posted January 16, 2018 at 04:47 PM I got curious and ran my VIN through http://www.etis.ford.com/. In the long list of features that it has (or doesn't have), I noticed this one line: "Less Underbody Protection" Does this mean that the car is lacking underbody coating to protect it from salt corrosion (a huge problem in Metro Detroit)? If so, should I get it waxed underneath asap? Should I buy the splash guard accessories? I just had the car washed at a touchless wash that includes an underbody cleaning, when temperatures briefly rose above 10C/50F, so hopefully not too much damage has been done... I plan to do this every time conditions clear up this season, since it's only $5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car does indeed have coating, and regular washing of the undercarriage should keep things safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
