Underseal / Waxoyl on 2019 Jimny

Does anyone know what the underbody corrosion protection is like with current Suzuki production cars and specifically on the new Jimny?
I am wondering if I'll need to invest in extra protection when I take delivery of the Jimny later this year. Polish winters are often even more salty than the UK winters - so don't want to end up dissolving the chassis rails in a handful of years. Although that said if it's fine with weekly underbody rinses I wont bother.
Thanks!

My vw got a double coating underneath. Now 12 years old and very nice under. But lots of brown spots on the outside..MadsV wrote: VW has some of the shittiest policys in norway when it comes to underbody protection, and almost all vws we have in the shop are completely brown underneat. Suzukis in norway are treated when they arrive at the port, but i would definetly get someone to coat it underneat anyway if im planning to keep the car, no matter if the dealer says the warranty goes away
But indeed get it sprayed!
Repeat after 4 years.

Found a few shots of the underneath on YouTube and looks like it will definitely need additional protection as you all said...

This is assuming the new Jimny has the same level of protection (naff all) as the old.
