Protecting Underbody
Here is a question which may become more pertinent as our cars age. I possess a 2003 Z06 with 60k. Iles which has ales ays been garaged by the look of it, and will be. I also have a 1999 Coupe which the first owner mostly kept outdoors and which I have also on and off over the years, albeit with covers but it has also been daily driven year round several years. At roughly 110k, when I get under the car now I do see where these northeast winters have begun to take their toll in the form of corrosion and oxidation in some areas.
It is nothing at all problematic. Yet I would like to preserve this one better if I can and I am unsure how best to do so. Then I have the mint 2003 which I would like to act preemptively on.
What should be done?

Look into spray on coatings but NOT thick black type. Do a lot of research on this type of stuff because not all are created equal. Most, if done wrong will lock in any diry/moisture and make rusting happen even faster.

No need to be sorry, man. It needed to be said and I'm totally cool with it. 😉👍 All good here. I actually had forgotten about it so I'm glad you said something and now I'll get some good info on how to fix it. ✌😎
