Whats that black stuff?
What is this black stuff on the underside? It seems to be on most of the underside except the driveshaft and exhaust. The car has less than 5K.

Undercoating is right. Its only on cars traveling oversea's. They put it on the GM products going out of the port of Wilmington down here. To keep the salt air from rusting the botom of the car.
