We have many different undercoating here as well......one that seems to be in favor currently around here is called "Fluid Film". It is lanolin based rather than petroleum based. This needs to be reapplied every year or two.
As you say, the key to any rust proofing is not just doing it once but keeping up on repairing or reapplying the coating.
Before winter returns I plan on completing what was done on the back half of the frame, on the front half and pulling the rear bed off again and fluid filming the entire frame. inside and out............rust never sleeps. I also have a 1976 244 that is solid as a rock but it has never been driven in the winter.......I plan on fluid filming that as well as the original undercoating is failing here and there.
