Noxudol 900 and Underbody coating
So my S2000 has started to show a little rust underneath, nothing bad but I would like to deal with it ahead of time. Has anyone heard of Noxudol 900? From what I've read it seems good but this is my first time having to deal with underbody coating/rust prevention. I won't be applying this myself as I don't have the space to do so. If anyone has any experience with it or any other form of coating let me know.

Sounds a lot like the original, black Zybart product, from decades ago.
From their site: Noxudol 900 is a thixotropic, chemically stabilized product consisting of bitumen, waxes, rust inhibitors and solvents.
That stuff worked great (I worked at Zybart, applying product to cars while I went to school), but ONLY if you applied it when vehicle was new or after body repairs. It doesn't work well if there is already rust. It especially doesn't work well if there is debris (that hold moisture), and not thoroughly cleaned off before application.
But the main reason I'd never apply it to my S is it makes a horrible mess any time you need to work on car. Stuff sticks to it, and if there is ever any oil or similar spilled, it turns the stuff to a sticky mess.
Its good for either: your dd beater, that you aren't going to wrench on, but only before it becomes a beater, or used only inside frame rails, etc, where it isn't going to get in the way.
Most vulnerable places on our cars are the rear wheel wells. This stuff will work there (if applied after rust repairs), but it'll be messy. Forever.
This is one of the problems with many rust coatings. Some, like this stuff, are apply once. Others are apply before each winter season. But most of them make a huge mess. At least the ones that are apply seasonally wear off.
I would suggest repairs, then por15 (any area that needed repairs is obviously a vulnerable area), then apply a good bedliner type product. To add a layer of impact protection (prevent scratches down to bare metal), and to seal areas from moisture collecting debris.
If you just keep things clean, and not bare metal, they won't rust. Wash wheel wells yearly prior to storage, wash underneath as well, don't drive on salted roads. Ever. Make sure any bare metal gets painted/coated.

Great description by Car Analogy. I did have Zybart applied when I bought my new Ensign mobile, a 1979 Mazda RX-7 and it did smell for a month or two afterwards. However, living in Pensacola Florida at the time, it was the only way to keep the car from becoming a rust bucket in no time.
You can also move to the southwest/California and leave your rust problems behind.
