Well, I had my car rust proof 2 days ago. After I got home, I looked under my car, and I hardly saw any of the yellow rust proof undercoating... By the trunk area, i only saw the yellow coating on two bolts only. By the door area, i looked under my car, and I did not see any rust proof coating at all.... I also checked other areas, underneath my car, and did not see any coating as well...
Did i get ripped off or what? I feel as if they hardly sprayed any rust proof coating on my car.... How can do I confirm this?

The coating on the underside is called undercoat and is normally a dark color. Rust proofing is normally shot into cavities and not visible for the most part. Sometimes small holes are drilled and then sealed when the compound has been shot into the area. Have the shop explain what they did and how it was done.

You were ripped off. Rust proofing is only effective if a car is brandnew. There is essentially no way an aftermarket coating can compete with the factory coating. Factory coatings are completed before any part is bolted to the body and is a far superior protector.
After-market rust proofing is a waste of money.

Rustproofing is a scam. They spray $5 worth of gunk on the underside and usually make things worse by creating pockets for water to get trapped in.
