Canada rust proofing only the buttom?

As winter approaches, I've been considering rust checking the 2007 camry. I was on rust check's web site and their "buttom only" treatment is half the price of their "all rust proofing package",

Is doing the buttom of the car enough? or should I be considering the full thing at 139 cdn dollars considering the harsh ontario treatment, also am I correct to assume that the latter option requires them to drill holes?, in addition, is what they do oil based?, the tech guy at my dealership told me the oil/grease one was the best option!

the thought of someone drilling holes into my sexy camry for rust checking makes me crazy! lol yikes!

If I was still living in T.O., the first thing at minimum I would do is undercoating (Ziebart). Not sure if this is what Rust Check calls their bottom only. I guessing it's not, as they probabaly just oil the bottom.

If you are going to oil, I'd do the full blown one or nothing at all. BTW your should undercoat (if not done already) before any type of oiling. This way the undercoating can stick better.

As for to oil or not to oil, ahhh there's so many holes you won't even know what's what after. If I was planning on keeping the car 5+ years, then I'd oil for sure.

Myself and friends/family always used the Krown in Scarborough, 85-90 cash for the full oil treament. A little bit of a drive but.... anyhow I believe the owners name is Tyrone if you were to use them.
