Polyglycote and rustproofing are good ideas.  Having the dealer do them
is not.  It is just a thing to sell you at an inflated price at the last
minute.  Take your car directly from the dealer to Ziebart (or whoever)
and save yourself some money.  Rustproofing waranties are not contingent
on dealer rustproofing.  Factory rustproofing is a different story.  This
is theoretically done as the car is being assembled but I don't know if
anyone is still doing it.

"Undercoating" is the biggest ripoff in the world.  Nearly every dealer
will try to foist this on to you.  Not only is the price inflated, it is
not really an adequate rustproofing job.
