Yes the quality is potato - I was to lazy to grab better camera. Some points that I gathered from applying both Fluid Film and Cosmoline. I am not endorsed by either of the companies.
You better use liquid other than spray can, then dilute it using mineral spirit, then you can brush it or use your own spray bottle to have better control, otherwise it will get everywhere.
Watch the solvents in the fluid film won’t wash away the cosmoline your using as a base coat, my experience is cosmoline is far superior than anything on the market and your English is fine.🇨🇦 thanks for the video
Cosmoline is a lanolin based priduct, which is a by-product of sheep's wool, so it will smell a bit sour. That's why it sticks so well, its an oil/fat. I don't live in the snow belt any more, but the coastal air is full of moisture that condenses at night, so I coat all of my drive train and chassis w/ Cosmoline - something my father taught me, way back in the 60s, when he did Ziebart under-coatings.
@@darrenrussell3695 ya you can also spray it on brake cables for bikes and gear shifter cables they will not rust and not stick even in -20 weather used it on a mountain bike and snow blower cables the stuff works as a lube too multi purpose
Can you put other stuff on top of the Cosmoline? Like maybe also spray a rubberized coating on top? I'm thinking that you need extra protection around the wheel wells.
@@manofsan stay away from rubberized coating!!!! Cosmoline is a a great water/salt repellent.if you want to sleep better at night ,I wouldn’t see why you couldn’t spray fluid film on it.but after that,i dont think you would be able to re apply cosmoline on top fluid film unless you wash very well the underneath
Yes it would. Oil breaks down wax. Fluid Film states “not for use on GM frames that still have the factory black wax coating”. Its true. I found out the hard way. But I was able to put it back after the fluid film wore off
@@sbond1963 What did you put back. I have a chevy silverado with the wax frame. I want to do touch up because its starting to wear out.I was thinking of going with cosmoline .
@@mikev7661 You have a few options. Daubert Nox-Rust X-121B is the black GM frame wax in an aerosol touch up can. If it’s gone beyond a few touchups, RP-342 heavy cosmoline is an option. Comes in black or amber. I use a combination of both. The black to touch up just the frame and then the amber to go over everything. Reason I prefer the amber over everything is so you can see the color differences in parts like bolts, cables, etc. I also use CRC heavy duty corrosion inhibitor. It’s a lighter spraying cosmoline. Less dripping. Requires a second coat. It’s a smaller can but it’s cheaper to use. Only comes in amber. If I was in the rust belt, and I only had a few exposed spots on the frame, I would use the Daubert to touch it up. Then I would buy a case of the CRC off Amazon and do everything underneath. Try to avoid the connectors. But if you do get it on the connectors, no worries. It comes off with oil
I spray gunned Cosmoline Black (Rust Veto 344) on my 2000 LX470 and followed it up with rattle cans of Blaster Corrosion Stop. The black dries to a hard plastic like texture and the Corrosion Stop is an oily like spray that appears wet all the time. It will be a year this November
Can you put other stuff on top of the Cosmoline? Like maybe also spray a rubberized coating on top? I'm thinking that you need extra protection around the wheel wells.
Nah. I probably would not use any rubberized coating period as that stuff allows moisture in time. Cosmoline or CRC heavy duty corrosion inhibitor is what I would use 2021 as the top coat
No rubberized undercoating. It ruined my last truck as it flaked off. Rocks will fly up and scrape off the cosmoline in the wheel wells. But it won't wash off. I tried with my pressure washer. It's still on the truck
@@DooDicky at this stage of owning it 7yrs I would only use Surface Shield or the other lanolin based products sprayed via the woolwax pro gun. Have some spray cans with the 360 tip as well. Do it yearly. Good luck!
I have been using fluid film for several years now. Its works great, it creeps into any places you miss. It also works as a good parts lubricant for hinges, door handles, latches ect. I use it on winch cables and ratchet straps too. It will wash off high spray areas like wheel wells and the bottom of axles, but it seems like it still has a layer you can't see that it still protecting the metal. I apply every year, but after the first year it's much easier because there will still be fluid film all over the place under there.
Ah . . . the discoloration streak on rubber parts can be doctored with water proof markers found in the craft shop / section . Pencil it in just like in your coloring book LOL . It works , Thanks
Soak a rag with solvent and wring it out good. It will remove cosmoline very easily. I removed it from the exhaust pipe very easily using solvent.. Follow with a clean rag.. Fluid film will not mix well with cosmoline..
@Montana West Photography Studio one disappointment so far with the spray can cosmoline is that it does NOT harden into a resin type of state, so totally not like a tree sap (Jurassic park), after it "hardens", it's still quite soft.
@@ejshelby5460 I used Cosmoline by 2 another manufacturers and both cosmoline hardened to plastic like surface. Maybe rp is made that way so can crawl in seams. For that trick I will use FF. Every HD rust protector is Cosmoline - Amsoil, CRC, Crown etc..
Thats a great question, I guess I can do video about that, flammability of Cosmoline vs Fluid Film. Im going to say Cosmoline would be less flamable because it dries to a hard(er) state, vs Fluid Film stays somewhat liquid
@@ogisgarage9721 It would be big one that millions people would check. But Cosmoline is gas based and Lanolin (fluid film or whatsoever called) is sheep based. No way FF is more flamable.
@@zell863 Its definitively a good question, I have some ideas on how to run that. Check back the channel in a week or so, I will probably have the answer by then.
@@ogisgarage9721 Definitely worth check. Safety of all of us "rust fighting enthusiast" is in question. Here is me slamming CGC at my truck for 10 years - www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1595021-ten-year-of-using-cold-galvanizing-compound.html .
Can you put other stuff on top of the Cosmoline? Like maybe also spray a rubberized coating on top? I'm thinking that you need extra protection around the wheel wells.
I did, waited until Cosmo was dried, than coated everything with Fluid Film. There is a debate would fluid film disolve the Cosmoline and nullify the idea - time would tell. I guess you could spray almost anything on top of Cosmoline, it dries up fairly well but I am not sure would it "hold" the rubberized coating (Cosmo is kinda greasy even when dry)
@Montana West Photography Studio - ok, fair enough - but I've heard people can put Cosmoline on top of WD-40, and that's because WD-40 is thinner and gets into all the fine cracks, etc, and then Cosmoline can go on top to provide a thicker and more robust coating/barrier. Do you agree with doing that?
@@ogisgarage9721 I wonder how it worked out for you. Cosmoline on their youtube channel said Fluid Film would dissolve Cosmoline, that they are not compatible, and should not be used together.
