Purchasing a new vehicle in the near future, and the dealer offered undercoating/rustproofing for $495.  He also mentioned something that goes on the battery to provide additional protection for an additional $95. Thoughts?

As someone who is in the car business, there is no need to  "undercoat or rustproof" anymore.  Cars are undercoated from the factory for the most part and unless you are in a severely salted area and never wash your car there is no need to rustproof. As far as the battery protector, I would be curious to see what it actually is because I have never heard of it.
