A lot of sense in fact in spraying the underside with old oil. Underseal if done badly will often allow the ingress of water between it and the metal of the car. Which is then trapped below the coating of underseal. Therefore in fact being a cause not only of rust but hidden rust. My advice is unless you do proper preparation you are actually potentially creating a future problem.buy a land rover they are self coating with oil

we always used a lightweigh oil on classic cars as the wax oil type stuff tended to clog the drain holes causing water retention

Underseal is old hat you need some flexible coating like Dintrol or spray the underside (illegal) with used oil like all oldies did that then drips into the street environment.

I just did my car with this.
£89.99 for the 2l kit, 360 nozzle and 600ml of grease.
The Fiesta only took 1l to coat.

I do the TD5 every other year with buzzweld blackit. Over the years I've used waxoil, drinitol and various homemade concoctions.
I looked into a alternative and came across a highly recommended company called buzzweld. They offer some premium products which tbh cost more than I wanted to pay but at the time were experimenting with a new budget line called "blackit"
I gave it a go and it's fantastic. Easy to apply, and doesnt leave a oily tacky to the touch finish, drys like paint but very durable. 6 one litre shultz cans give a TD5 two good coats. Not the best photos but it gives you an idea

It's a fair bit of labour, and equipment, to a do a proper job that you can guarantee to a customer. Clarting Lanogard on a manky chassis is easy.

On my car I had my wheels, shocks, arch liners, heat shields removed, all washed, all the rust taken back, it wasnt just slapping on Lano as you seem to think.
Cost nowhere near that in labour and materials.

I had it done for me, the guys had it for four days, they said it took two days to clean all the mud off. They did a real good job.

Car. Not 4x4 ? Was it done by a professional approved applicator ? To be honest, I don't really want to get into a debate. A professional outfit doing it over a working week will charge £800 or more depending on how much work is involved in stripping down, cleaning, rust removal, chemical and coating used.
You can do it yourself, or pay a professional. Each to their own and as long as everyone's happy, ideal.
