Norwegian suzukis were badly treated in the 90 's. They are gone.
80's and 00's are still around.

Well, some would hesitate to buy an untreated car.. or pay more for a treated one.
I know i have done that, but i buy to keep for along time and do not swap cars often.

Few would pay more, and not enough to offset the cost of doing it. Many are put off by heavily under sealed cars as it is often used to hide problems.

As long as it is going over clean treated surfaces it is as good as anything. If it is going over rust it forms a nice cosmetic skin, but on a new car it will thicken up the factory sealer. I've sprayed many an old car with tetroseal, and they still rust away beneath it, whether they rust faster or slower than without it is anyone's guess.
The dinitrol black wax is supposed to be self healing, inhibit rust, water resistant, and generally better- but they would say that as it is twice the price.
I dinitrol'd my Gen 4, with a kit, I was a bit disappointed that the stonechip to do under the wheelarches seems to have been replaced by underbody wax- maybe it is better, or more likely cheaper.
If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

The wheelarches on the Gen 4 are factory finished with paint over some sort of sealer or stonechip, you can spray what you like onto them.
