You are comparing apples to oranges.

POR-15 is for bare metal (sorta ok for light well adhered rust - but even then I don't trust it there)....it is NOT for already coated surfaces, so unless you are willing to strip every square inch under your car.....

Your best bet for under the car? Get the car as high on jackstands as possible.

Spray every square mm with Simple Green. Scrub down. Hose off. Repeat until it's beyond showroom clean. Allow to dry/blow with compressed air.

Inspect for rust. If any exists, replace parts as necessary or get down to solid bare metal and coat area with POR-15, or one or two other good products such as Caroless.

When you are satisfied there is no rust coat with an oily/waxy undercoat.

Repeat next year!
