In this video I bring you along as I apply Fluid Film to my 2013 Toyota Tundra to help it stand up to the nasty salt of NY winters. I try out the "professional" spray gun and also the DIY straw that goes on the rattle cans of fluid film. -Enjoy!

South Main Auto Repair Hey Eric I was wondering I have a 2003 Chevy avalanche 5.3 it’s in really good shape for being a Michigan car. It has some surface rust on the frame not flaking. The paint rockers and the wheel wells look brand new. Here in Michigan we put a lot of salt down too and salt brine are dirt roads as well would this benefit my truck?

I live in the rust belt myself. Bought a fluid film pro kit years ago. Use it once a year in October to coat my late model truck. Drilled doors, tailgate whole 9 yards. Easy two hour job once a year. It saves your vehicle. No doubt about it.... Period.

Tacoma guys swear by Fluid Film so I figured I would start using it on my Chevy truck. Works great! 5 years old, lived in the rust belt its whole life, and the underside of the truck is 100% rust free. Even the crappy factory frame coating is in really good shape. The truck does smell like a heard of wet sheep for a few weeks but I'll take that over rust.

Just watched the video and as a driver of a Ram 1500 here in Sweden, I can recommend tecthyle based rust inhibitors. We used that on our cars here and the average length between application is 3 years depending on usage. I applied it to my Ram this summer for the winter together with rustblocker on the rustspots on the truck and it is good to go. That one is also sticky and stays sticky even if the top layer gets dust and "dries" but it does the job really well!

@ewilliams19 4 года назад

I Fluid Filmed my doors, rockers and cab corners about mid summer. I was a little concerned about it plugging up the weep holes too but we had some weather in the mid to upper 90's for a few weeks after that and a lot of leaked back out. Where it ran to the bottom outsides of the doors, it actually creeped up the outsides of the doors a couple of inches. If you can do this while it's still hot out, you should get some good creep and travel out of the product so it will get into the little nooks and sandwiched parts of your truck or car. Good stuff!

@allanbowes6952 Год назад

Good to see this information is being made available to the rust belt in the US. I live in Ontario and have been getting my vehicles sprayed for over 40 years commercially. Usually Krown or Rust Check. It's an annual event and if your going to keep your vehicle over 3 years or so the only way to prevent rust. Annual cost is $100 or so depending on the vehicle size. The commercial businesses drill holes and spay inside the doors, fenders etc. It should be noted that rust really happens during the warmer summer periods as the heat inside the doors etc. really cooks the process. You can spot the oil sprayed vehicles as the bottom corners of the doors tend to look a little dirty from a thin film of oil creeping out and getting some dust until the next car wash, but no rust. It should be noted that the city and provincial snow/salt trucks are also sprayed with the same process.

Good job and excellent video. FF really works and I live in the Midwest salt belt and you need to apply this once to twice a year for maximum protection. I know some who apply it in the early fall and then the following summer to protect the undercarriage. The damage from the salt and additives the states use on the roads really tear up the cars and this is a good way to extend the life of your vehicle. Get inside the rockers, door jambs, hoods and doors, etc.

A customer from Mass, this was in Md, back in the 80s, told me in western Mass they they would spray used oil on the bottom of the vehicles and then run them down a dirt road. Worked great. When we were welding on a new panel I had to stand fire patrol as we were afraid it might go up. But no problem and better yet no rust anywhere on that car. So though I was first skeptical an oil based film like that does work.

I prefer the DIY kit because as Eric O mentioned you can unscrew bolts to spray in recessed areas instead of having your vehicle drilled with holes to be later filled with body plugs.

Great video yet again! The science ( moisture + salt + heat) = CORROSION. A good solution: Oil spray keeps the water off the metal. In Vermont we use husky summer grade bar and chain oil heated in a crock pot. A good old air paint spray gun with 80 PSI atomizes it well. TIP : Heating whatever oil you use makes application easier.

Here in the UK we have a product called Waxoyl that looks exactly like Fluid Film, manufactured by Finnegans. My dad swore by it and I still use it nowadays, it came with a pressure sprayer and tubes like yours, we used to add pinholes with a hot pin to give a more '360' area to the spray (putting them in the tube). Best thing ever as these never go hard and trap moisture behind, as you say in your other video, the tarry ones are rubbish. It is just the world's messiest procedure, especially if you warmed the can in warm water to make it runnier; went everywhere on the car but also everywhere on the driveway. Other than that, a great product.

What really helped the spraying is warming fluid. Hot water bath worked well to warm, I tried turbo heater 1st, but melted plastic bucket.

My Dad once had a Holden Premier. Holden are a GM Australia product, or once were. It had a bad oil leak for years and had also been sprayed with a product called Tectyl which was a rust preventative. When we pulled the engine to repair the leak for him, the crossmember was coated with old oil and road grime up to half an inch thick. We gave it a good pressure wash and all the areas previously covered with the engine oil and crud under the car were absolutely immaculate with no rust and not a mark. On the contrary large areas of the treated metalwork was beginning to rust.

I have used it on my car and under mower deck. Makes grass come off the deck much easier. You need to let it dry under your mower deck for a week before you use it. Under and around your car it works pretty good. Bad thing is it likes to collect a lot of dirt.

I feel your pain Eric just starting to work on the rust on my 2010 Ford Transit rust, they salt the roads here all winter as well at the first sign of frost, gets so bad sometimes the salt creates a white film on car bodywork. We use a product called Waxoyl this side of the pond

We call it "Michigan cancer" around here, and no car is immune... even my plastic-bodied Saturn Ion has rust issues on the floorpan that I had to repair. Fieros are another victim of that - you can't see the rust happening under those plastic body panels. The upper rear frame rails go right over the rear wheels, and have holes in them that catch the (salty) water and cause them to rust out from the inside.

Interesting somebody has mentioned Waxoyl. I have been using Waxoyl on my vehicles in UK for years . A little tip / observation though , from experience. Use the Black Waxoyl . I have found it is much better than the "clear" (actually kind of yellow) . I am not sure why there is any difference other than the colour , but I'm guessing the black variety has some bitumen in there. The black lasts for ever , I have an F150 (a 97) which I thoroughly waxoyled back in 2009 , and it is still spotless and completely black underneath. I have a Toyota Crown (also a 97) which I did with clear waxoyl around 2011 and that is getting ready to be done again . Some areas the clear waxoyl has disappeared / worn away completely . So , when using waxoyl , the black is MUCH better and longer lasting .

We use both Waxoyl and fluid film. The Waxoyl is for anything brand new and the fluid film is for anything with a "patina".

Make sure you silicone your door seals - I have a 2009 Tacoma that was Krown'd since new and it ruined the rubber seals around the doors and more recently I've had some rubber lines split. I have a 2013 Accord that I had Krown'd last winter (I bought it used) and the same thing happened to the seals after just one treatment. Not sure whether they re-formulated the product or newer cars have rubber seals more prone to swelling but I'm going to give Fluid Film a try this winter.

They say krown is safe on rubbers I'll have look into that my brother is a die hard krown fan

@wendull811 4 года назад

It says right on the spray cans not to spray fluid film on rubber b/c it will cause it to swell.

@amacd08 3 года назад

UPDATE: I've been using Fluid Film the last 2 winters and I'm very pleased with the results. The product is still wet come spring time. No visible signs of rust and seems to stick better in the wheel wells.

Great video. Just getting around to undercoating my truck due to a severe case of procrastination. Also toyota really stepped their game up with that spare tire winch. My one is cable and rotted out. That chain one looks pretty heavy duty.

Oh man, that's way cleaner than that Zeibarts horror show. Even though I'm not a Chevy guy, I felt so sorry for that poor Chevy that your friend brought in. So happy that I live in San Diego. Zero rust. Thank you for the informative and interesting videos!

@Zib187 5 лет назад

In Michigan several counties use some type of oil on the dirt roads to keep the dust down.

@T.Tuxedo 5 лет назад

They used to use an oil-based product, but nowadays they use calcium-chloride which is super corrosive. Calcium chloride sticks to your vehicle and is more damaging than road salt.

@RockandrollNegro 5 лет назад

Yep, because salt is cheaper than oil.

@cccdetective787 5 лет назад

Hi Eric I have used both thin liquid products and thicker gel or paste products for undercoating . The application tip I have is to get a larger enough baking / cake Pan with or 4" lip large enough to hold the gallon can inside the pan. Fill the pan with water and place the fluid film gallon can inside the baking pan with lid loose or half removed. Put on a heat source to heat the water to about 140-160 Deg. F this will thin the paste for spraying and probably require around 40-60 PSI . It will really help the DYI home guy with a small volume compressor. Great but messy job and the New Jeep Hat get's Christened (LOL).

-- Just bought a 2004 Tahoe winter beater. Pretty clean; can tell it was garaged. Still, there were places the rust was real. I'll spare you the months long process it took me to take care of it, but boy am I looking forward to just doing what you did once a year. Done in a day or two. Thumbs up.
