Clearly not a very good one.
i merely expressed a concern and was curious if anybody had any experience with a product since we're all "car guys" and I didn't think i was the only one that would cringe at the thought of rusted frame rails.
back to OP yes, if it's "mad low" i agree, no coating will stay on any frame rails. Regardless of that, corrosion is still going to occur (which is my point). my question was in reference to moderately low and utilizing a coating.

in driving my car i can avoid anything that would potentially scrape the rails EXCEPT getting into my work driveway. granted the car isn't my daily but i was just really concerned about having bare metal. That's all LOL.

if you are that concerned about rust, build some sort of skid plate that will sit against the frame rails. so only that part will scrape / rust, then replace it when its worn down.
there really is no other option, except if you cut them out. but that will leave the fuel / break lines unprotected and would easily be damaged.-Instagram@jdjurhuus
