I like the NHOU (New Hampshire Oil Undercoating) stuff myself. If you have or can borrow a compressor for a day it's not hard to do yourself. I got a kit for a couple hundred bucks and did a couple of cars. If you keep a Mirage for more than one winter, you could do a second coat the next fall. It is lanolin based so the drips are non-toxic.
