No, waste of money.

Aftermarket undercoatings, and home-applied sprays, stopped being beneficial when manufacturers started using galvanized panels, and applying factory undercoat, many years ago.

I just went at it with some Tremclad matte black rust paint and 6 years later not a spot of rust anywhere.

In many cases it is worse than nothing, not better. Spraying any type of sealer over any existing corrosion speeds up the corrosion. It holds the moisture in.
