Default Undercarriage Protection

Before the snow and ice starts falling, I want to apply some type of under coating. I was going to just use Rustoleum spray. Any other suggestions? What should I try to coat, other than the frame rails and parts of the tub that DC missed?
Thanks for any input

Sorry, i usually chime in about Ziebart (thats where i work if you didnt already know) But they do have IMHO the best rust protection services. Check em out at Ziebart.com I have also listed other companies that do this such as Kar Guard and the american version i think is car guard. Mopar has their own brand as well, but that is user applied. Ziebart offers a 10yr warranty. The only thing you have to do is return once a year for annual maintenance. That costs approx $40. Essentially as far as rust protection goes through Ziebart you are not saving money in the long run by having it done, because if you add up all the upfront $ plus the annuals, you come to around what you may expect to pay for average rust over a 10 yr period of having it non protected...BUT remember your car will be in the shop while being repaired...plus who wants to admit their single owner car rusted out

Each spring, after a good undercarrage wash, crawl around under the Jeep with a can of black spray paint. Spray it all. Not only will it protect, but will make the undercarrage look better too. If you do a lot of off road, do the rattle can routine in the fall too.

Took it out the first day I got it. Sits on the shelf covered.

Update: The above comment was meant for another thread. I have no idea how that got in here.
