Default Wheel arch stonechip underseal

What are people's preferences for respraying the flexible black stonechip seal in the wheel arches? Bitumen or rubber based? Any preparation tips?
Thanks.

I am going to have the underside and wheel arches of mine done using Wurth.
That's what the bodyshop of TGM sport use, and they have repaired lots of rusty DC2s.
I'll ask them to use Dynax S50 on the suspension and subframes.

I'm big fan of Bilt Hamber, but they don't do a semi solid underseal.
The Wurth range looks good, but the high build underseal is USA only, and they are trade only in UK. They have Gravel throw, Stoneguard, and underseal as separate products, so it's confusing. Gravel throw is rubber based, Stoneguard has 2 variants, and Underseal is bitumen based.
I just want to spray over the gravel rash where the original underseal has got peppered

I have always found Dynax UB semi solid, like a sticky wax.

i think if you do on bare metal you should use good epoxy primer first and stone chip products

i used teroson products for my impreza classic

Bilt Hamber Dynax UC or UB or combo of both is my choice. Also Raptor is very good, you can do body colour mix as well.
