Rust Check - Good Process, very thorough, Guaranteed work. Rustcoating is nice thin liquid which gets into the seams very well. Downside - will drill holes in your car to deposit liquid which you may not want.
Ziebart - Not a big fan - very similiar to Rust Check but not as thorough - also drills holes. I found that coverage inside the doors and inner panels to be poor.
Mr. Lube - No drilling required - also quite thorough. Must thicker solution - very hard to remove from around door openings and inside trunk - I would not recommend for antique / classic car.

There was a product in the 70's called DURACOAT- had to be the best I've ever encountered., but alas!!!
I thought, and still think, Rust Check is pretty good...but only as good as the franchisee in your area.. I've found in two Atlantic centers that they were very skimpy with the product..but I often buy "rust check" in a spray can, for localized treatment..
The Ziebart compound, at least 15-20 yrs ago, created a skin
which covered the metal, but if for any reason, the compound did not bond to the metal, it actually accelerated the rusting beneath that skin.
I like the Mr.Lube - wax based undercoating, which does not wash away as rapidly as rust check on the larger surface areas under a vehicle. And they seem thorough.
Cheers, Ralph
