I wouldn’t waste your money on it. The rustproofing that is done in the factory is usually sufficient. The stuff the dealership offers is just an extra profit center for them with an insanely marked up price

None what so ever because it is a waste of money . Also sometimes whoever does it can plug up the factory drain holes that keep your vehicle from rusting inside out.
