hi Molly,
Had mine (97WRX) since February and havent bothered to be honest.
What I do is when I wash it (usually every 1-2 weeks) using my
pressure washer I give the underneath a good jetting too. Occasionally I put the front or back onto ramps (£16) and this allows you to get right underneath.
With modern cars I reckon this should be sufficient to prevent
corrosion...I think!
How much does undersealing cost - you know? never found out properly..seem to remember about £150 ??

Matt.

It's all galvanised underneath - coated with Zinc that doesn't rust.

Pounds and pounds of treacle are not needed!

I think that most models are undersealed already, the exceptions being the lightweight Rs and RAs so check before you panic. Mine certainly is.
The bodies are galvanised but that is only safe if it doesn't get stonechipped.
