GEN 4 Jimny undersealing wearing off

Hi, about 3 months ago I had the car expensively and professionally undersealed with Dinitrol. At the service today the mechanic said it was patchy and coming off, see a few pics. Surely underseal has to be fa? more enduring than that? Anyone had similar experience. The car has not been subject to powerwashing.
Thanks

Wow. I'd be wanting the opinion of the person who applied that and would be expressing my disappointment. My waxoiling was in better shape than that after a year of being rubbed off on grass and such like off road every day.

Yep, taking it back to him: in fairness he said he's sort it out but I need to know what happened as this looks worse than having none at all!

I wouldn't know what exactly happened but its almost as if it was applied over another coating of something that it reacted with?

It was about 9 months old, nothing added over the original somewhat random pattern of Suzuki underbody treatment. We live up a forest track so it has remained coated in mud over the underseal for long periods, maybe something in that mud has a penetrating effect although I can't think why?

Blimey, done mine myself and its still good couple of 20p area's but I would certainly be turning up at that place for them to explain that.
