I use acf-50 on my motorbikes during winter and does an amazing job at keeping the salt from turning my bikes brown, its not a one use product though!
Majority of bikers who ride during winter use acf-50 then wash it off when the gritters dissapear.
I ride regular during winter so i have to re apply the stuff where the rain/puddles washes it away.
In short its fantastic stuff but not ideal for a car.

POR-15 is properly fussy about prep and has been known multiple times to fail and come off in sheets. I wouldn't use it.
Underneath of the Rallye, that got baremetalled 2 years ago and then stood for that time......Is just as good as the day I left it. Bilt Hamber zinc primer, with Bilt Hamber epoxy mastic over the top. I topped it off with flat finish 3M stone chip......Ain't nothing touching that.

I'd rather renew the original type of under body surface protection, I agree all that shultz type stuff is bloody horrible.

ACF-50 is good but as said, needs to be washed off and reapplied after a while, it's like a gel version of WD40 in terms of what it does.
Dynax UB is what you're looking for I think.
Custom roll cages/shiny suspension bits/general fabrication work undertaken, PM me.

From the factory, from what I have found getting through my Rallye, the underside was primed, then heavily stone chipped in places. In other places, it just appeared to be painted (boot floor, tunnel etc.....)

6 years isnt bad for the red oxide and black hammerite!
How often do you clean the underside? if you regularly check & clean the underside i would just suggest refreshing what you have already done.
