Undercoating Questions, Ziebart/Rusty Jones, etc Options

[turtleman]

Those of you who have done complete restorations might be best able to answer some of my questions.

I was wondering if anyone had experience removing a Ziebart undercoating from a car and how much rust was present under that coating? My floorpan appears very solid and rust free, however, I am aware that on occasions moisture can form between poorly bonded rustproofing and there can be much rust under the undercoating.

I assume that cars that were rustproofed at the dealer when they were new might have had a better chance of having betterbonding of their undercoating than cars where the undercoating was applied at a later date when dirt and grease might have made the bonding poor.

I am interested in knowing if anyone had a car that had Ziebart rustproofing that turned out to be relatively free of rust when they removed the undercoating?

Also out of curiosity, I wondered about anyone who had a Rusty Jones undercoating how their car looked after removing the undercoating?

I sure would hate to remove all my uindercoating if it is actuially working and still effective, which appears it is.

I appreaciate any discussion on this topic.
