Today I learned that undercoating your vehicle was a thing.

Maybe it's called something different where you are? Oil spraying? I grew up in a mechanic family and we do this yearly on all our vehicles.

I grew up in a small city in the Central Valley of California. There was a lot of agriculture around me, so I can see if they did that, but I did not lol

Undercoating is practically a must if you are living in a snowy country that uses roadsalt in winter.

People specifically buy cars from the Central Valley due to them being usually rust free even when they are 20-30 years old. With no undercoating needed other than the usually soundproofing coating.
The coastal regions get salt air.
