WHY THE INSPECTION COMES FIRST
Your undercarriage tells us how to protect it.
Two vehicles of the same year can need very different preparation. Winter exposure, existing corrosion, prior coatings, access panels, road debris and leaks all affect the plan.
The inspection creates a shared starting point. You receive an explanation of visible conditions, the recommended scope and straightforward next steps before authorizing application.

WHAT RABUCK CHECKS
A focused look at the surfaces, access and risks underneath.
This is an undercoating-readiness inspection, not a mechanical safety inspection or structural engineering evaluation.
01
Existing corrosion
Visible surface oxidation, flaking scale and areas that may need more than routine preparation.
04
Leaks + contamination
Visible oil, fluid residue, heavy soil or road debris that may require attention before treatment.
02
Prior coatings
Old oil, wax, rubberized material or unknown products that may affect adhesion, access or expectations.
05
Use + exposure
Winter driving, gravel roads, towing, work use, storage and washing habits that influence maintenance.
03
Coverage access
Shields, liners, skid plates, seams, cavities and tight areas that shape the application plan.
06
Application readiness
Whether the vehicle is ready, needs preparation or should receive repair guidance before coating.
WHAT WOOLWAX IS AND ISN'T
A flexible barrier, not a rust repair.
Woolwax is used as a lanolin-based corrosion-inhibiting coating for underbody metal and hard-to-reach areas. It is designed to remain soft rather than curing into a rigid shell.
It does not rebuild weakened metal, reverse structural corrosion or replace mechanical repair. That is why Rabuck begins by documenting what is already present.
Designed to help
-
Create a moisture-resistant barrier
-
Reach seams and irregular surfaces
-
Support a condition-based maintenance plan
Not designed to
-
Repair rust damage or perforated metal
-
Correct leaks or mechanical issues
-
Eliminate the need for future inspection
STARTING APPLICATION PRICES
Know the baseline. Confirm the scope.
Prices below reflect the current published service starting points. Vehicle size, condition, previous coatings, access and preparation can affect the final recommendation.
CAR
$499
Starting price
Approx. 3–4 hours after inspection findings and scope are confirmed.
PICKUP TRUCK
$599
Starting price
Approx. 4–6 hours after inspection findings and scope are confirmed.
SUV / VAN
$599
Starting price
Approx. 4–6 hours after inspection findings and scope are confirmed.
Starting prices and timing are planning guidance, not a final quote. Rabuck Detailing confirms the service plan after reviewing the vehicle.
THE RABUCK PROCESS
Inspect first. Apply with a plan.
Every step is built around informed approval rather than a one-size-fits-all package.
Inspect + document
Review the underbody, visible corrosion, prior coatings, access points and conditions that may affect application.
Explain + recommend
Walk through findings, preparation, exclusions, realistic expectations, timing and the recommended scope.
Prepare + apply
Complete the approved surface preparation and apply Woolwax to the agreed coverage areas.
Review + maintain
Review the completed work and set a practical reinspection plan based on exposure and vehicle use.

WOOLWAX UNDERCOATING FAQ
Clear answers before application.
Your inspection remains the best source of vehicle-specific guidance.
Does Woolwax remove existing rust?
No. Undercoating does not reverse structural corrosion or replace metal repair. Rabuck documents visible conditions and explains whether additional preparation or repair should be considered.
How much does undercoating cost?
Current starting prices are $499 for cars and $599 for pickup trucks, SUVs and vans. Final recommendations depend on size, condition, access and preparation identified during inspection.
Will there be odor or settling afterward?
Fresh product may have a temporary odor, and some settling or minor residual material can occur. Rabuck Detailing will explain normal post-service expectations during handoff.
How often should the vehicle be reinspected?
Exposure, mileage, use, washing and road conditions affect maintenance. Rabuck can recommend an interval after reviewing the vehicle and how it is used.
