After four years our Gen 4 still looks new underneath. l did spray everything l could get to, with a clear wax product to prevent surface rust on things like suspension parts.

After considering the comments submitted, I may just go for a light touch approach because of the seemingly sound Suzuki coatings. I may stick with waxoil as I've used this to good effect on past vehicles. The kits availble to do this are reasonably priced and affordable to be able to do this approach more frequently. I just have to tap a mate of mine up to be able to borrow his ramps. Thanks for your comments.

I have taken these screen shots from a Facebook group I'm on.
3 year old Gen4 with 20,000 miles on the clock.

I must admit, I didn't see any thick protection under mine before I had it done.

I wouldn't be happy either if that were mine or indeed if I were looking to buy it.

The pictures clearly show the underseal but also show the areas that have been missed, and this is clearly unacceptable. If it was mine, I would question the dealers attitude to the problem as it should have been noted at the yearly inspection. This is assuming that it was serviced by a Suzuki dealer!

Roger, are you suggesting that yours has underseal in the areas that have been "missed" here?
