Question Rust Proofing

Anyone had their truck rustproofed like Ziebart? I plan on keeping mine for a while and I am looking into long term options to keep it looking good. I have had it for two Missouri winters now. Both have been pretty mild. Looking for comments. Do you think it is worthwile? I have heard of people having more problems because of botched jobs too. Thanks.

If you are going to rustproof your truck, it would have been nice if it was done new and make sure at that time that it was done right(do an inspection yourself after it comes back from the shop and touch up the missed spots). I did some touching up on my truck's undercarraige and it seems that the previous owner did have it undercoated. However, they did do a botchy job and I had to scrape off the rust being covered on the framerails by undercoating(which can be noticed by it peeling off) and the spots that were missed. It was a tough job and I was using some acid that spilled on my hands(and led me to the emergency room). If I just brought my three year but two winters old truck to Ziebart which I initially wanted, I would have not seen those rust and the frame rails would have been rusting underneath the undercoating.
