(I wipe (with a rag) or brush it on the undercarriage, with the exception of the frame interior where I use the aerosol cans and the wand to coat the interior of the box frame rails)
Not GX specific, but my wife and I are in the process of packing up for a move from TX to NoVA... and we've discovered reusable vacuum seal bags. Where have you been all my life from a space saving perspective!!!
We got a set of 12 off amazon with a hand pump for $25. Super easy to use and totally using these on vacation and for storage at the new house for offseason clothing, total space saver for long road trip packing and vacations (can fit more in a carryon) and keep your dirty clothes sealed on the return leg home.

unique National Park for sure, more like a national monument feel. Great network of hiking trails up to the lookout…
The town had the feel if Asheville, NC and Deep Creek Lake, MD had a baby… haha

As an FYI to those getting new GX's I went on chat on the Woolwax website to ask a couple of questions and was asked to give them a call.
After confirming I was getting a brand new GX the person told me to find out if it has an undercoating from the factory and if so ***DO NOT*** apply Woolwax or Fluid Film for several years as they don't play well together.
I emailed Lexus and they confirmed the GX has an undercoating from the factory so I will heed that companies advice.
The same person also really discouraged the use of the black Woolwax as all it does is hide issues and you can't tell if it's actually being effective.
I'll be buying their product in a few years when the time comes that I need to apply an undercoating.
Both companies are INCORRECT. You'r GX will rust very quickly without an application of Corrosion X, Fluid Film, etc. I would not use WoolWax.
The GX does not have any type of corrosion protection from the factory for the undercarriage.
You want a product that will "creep" inside of the frame and other parts to coat them and protect them.
If you bought a new GX and live in NE, I would do your own research and apply your product of choice before the snow flies.
I'm a Corrosion X, Corrosion X XD, and Corrosion X HD fan myself. Others like Fluid Film.
I'll wait until I get my GX and look underneath it first. It's a '22 so things could have changed.
If it has an undercoating I won't put anything on it as I was advised. If it doesn't have one I'll use Woolwax.
Here's what I received from Lexus on 8/30:

Clingmans Dome, 5 months pregnant and we made it! Scenic lookout Park entrance …. (Pigeon Forge is pure tourism chaos by the way, it’s worse than Vegas and Disney put together!)
We only once went through Pigeon Forge, as we header toward a hiking trail (Ramsey Cascade Trail, highly recommended), our first thoughts of Gatlinburg was Vegas.
We always keep to the NC side of Smokies, close by Bryson City.

youve actually been to all these places in the tank? neat!
can they be bought online or only at the locations? would be nice to add some diversity to my patch collection.
Lexi has traveled all of them except to the Maui, that was in a rental car, but we took the seatback with us so we could at least say a piece of her made it up to the top to watch both the sunrise and sunset.
I'm guessing they can be had online but we just stop at the gift shops on the way out of the park or locale.
