Should I undercoat my EV or Hybrid vehicle?
Absolutely! While the initial cost of hybrid and electric vehicles may seem higher compared to traditional gas or diesel engine vehicles, the benefits extend far beyond mere savings in operating costs. One significant advantage lies in their remarkable longevity. It's not uncommon for hybrid vehicles to clock over 200,000 km and still maintain robust mechanical performance. However, despite their mechanical resilience, rust often emerges as a prevalent issue, prematurely aging many otherwise well-functioning vehicles. At Garage-EV, we advocate for proactive prevention measures to safeguard against rust, ensuring the prolonged usability and value retention of your hybrid or electric vehicle.
WHAT MAKES OUR WAXOYL UNDERCOATING PROCESS DIFFERENT COMPARED TO STANDARD UNDERCOATING?
Garage-EV's process focuses on preparation of the vehicle, removing panels, washing, treating any visible rust without DRILLING! Cavities (door panels etc.) wax to fog voids that cannot be easily accessed or regularly cleaned. This will protect the vehicle from the inside. This fog will settle and
cure to a wax base, not an oily drippy mess. Hard wax is used on the underside of the vehicle that is exposed to splashing, road dust / debris and in the case of off road vehicles area where it could be exposed to harsher abrasion such as gravel, brush etc. This is a black, self healing hard wax that can take the abuse. See the chart below with some comparisons with other undercoating products.
EVs and Hybrid vehicles?
EV's and Hybrids undergo a special preparation process in which all protective panels and covers are removed to exposed HV components which are then wrapped to protect them from being sprayed. Waxoyl will not effect electrical components ( actually some vehicle manufactures use it on off-road vehicles to seal connectors) but we do not spray HV connections with product. We will not require the use of the Black Hard Wax since EVs have more under panels to take the abuse from splashing and abrasion. This also guarantees that there is no possibility of covering Orange HV cables or other electrical components with underseal product.
Will undercoating void my vehicle warranty?
Properly applied in a controlled environment by trained technicians the OEM manufactures warranty should not be affected. Here is an interesting comparison of undercoating products:
