Under coating doesn't last 10 years. As he posted it goes on thick and goopy. After five years of wear, heat and wet the undercoating cracks and takes the original factory finish with it, just like if you apply any finish too thick. Moister and salt eventually works its way between the undercoating finish and the metal causing even more rust. I've seen plenty of older expensive cars with owner that opted for this "protection" that suffer horribly from rust even though they've had the best of care. If you're really concerned about it have your car put on a lift every year or two and have the visible rust sanded and the affected areas painted, it will cost you a couple hundred but it actually works. If "undercoating" a car would prevent it from rusting all the manufacturers would do it and offer 10 year rust through warranties. Instead (as in this case) the manufacturers don't even allow their dealerships to do it since it ruins the factory rust proofing and makes any electrical or fuel line repairs a real bear.
