    The factory warranty is 12 years against perforation .
    If you do a rustproofing treatment it will void your warranty.

    But if your car is older than 12 years why not ?

    If you do this, you need to ensure that the little holes underneath are not plugged up. The holes are there to let the water drain out. Block the holes and you'll end up getting rust to form from the inside-out and by the time you see the rust, it's already too late.

    Rust is technically not covered under warranty, what is covered is if the rust causes a perforation (ie. visible hole) through any metal surface.

    So normal surface rust is not covered, only gaping holes are. Kind of missleading.
