Question Undercoating or Rustproofing?

Does anyone know of any place near RVA that does undercoating to protect before snow/salt season? After looking online it looks as though the Canadians have a place called Krown that will wash the underside of the car and apply it in about half an hour to all exposed parts- but I can't find any places locally. Everyone online seems to agree that 'Texaco Rustproof Compund L' is the type to get since it lasts so long (2-3 years in crazy Canadian winters, eh) but I need to find a place that uses the stuff. Anyone experienced or know any places?

Thanks!

Anyone else? Looking for mostly rust-proofing type of stuff, not the black undercoat style.

Meh.... its better to be safe than sorry, but it does cost a pretty penny. Like Digital said, central VA doesnt get a crapload of snow, and when they do they hit it with sand and chemicals, not salt, so it wont fuck up the chassis much. But at least getting a coat of SOMETHING will be a good problem preventer.

Exactly, I think it's my car's first exposed winter so I figure it'll be more worth it now than ever.
