Is there any decent guide for applying this stuff? I've never done and want to figure it out but I'm a I'm a bit of a wrenchlet. Obviously I wouldn't get it near brakes/calipers... but I know I'd do something stupid if I just went at it on my own.
You can buy a spray gun if you google it. Just spray it everywhere but the exhaust.
Also you can get aerosol cans but it's kind of expensive.
Also good for battery terminals, general lubrication, sex, etc
>get cheap undercoating gun >get cheap air compressor >buy fluid film by the jug (black if you care for aesthetics)
Mostly try and keep it away from rubber stuff, though it's not going to kill anything if it get splattered on. The 'protip' would be to try and find a 360 degree wand/hose attachment, you can fish that into rockers and frame rails and douse them with oil easily that way.
I'm convinced theres a planned obsolescence conspiracy at foot here
at least in ny >not at autozone >advanced auto parts >home depot >napa >local landscaping stores
can only find this gem on amazon
I'm in FL where it's mostly unneeded yet I can find the aerosol cans in Walshart of all places. After owning a few cars from up north (and from near the beach) I now swear by the stuff. Cosmoline might possibly be better but it's also pricier, too.

if you have to ask then yes, it's a conspiracy
if you want a real fun time, look into how rusted different commercial vehicles can be before they have to be replaced
hint: NY DOT trucks are exempt while a school bus must be completely, as in 100%, rust-free with a 15-day leeway to fix any rust that may show up, forcing even small schools to either build complete bus-wash utilities or purchase new buses every few years
I’m getting ready to buy the kit to do my 4Runner. I figure buy the thing now and have it to apply every 1-2 years, know I want to do it all right and not just the most profitable. One gallon of FF should do the whole truck, right?
I went with Woolwax, thicker then fluid film. Got 5gal of the HV wheel well grease to do the frame, low spray areas got the regular woolwax, out of the way places that just get a mist got cosmline. & of course all inner panels got 3m cavity wax.
The regular woolwax washes off a bit in high wear areas, but the grease still holding strong. nice thing is not having to spray it every year if I don't feel like it,
I live in NY and have a 2018 Chevy Cruze. I’ve had it for approximately one year and haven’t had it undercoated, and I don’t believe the prior owner ever undercoated it. It’s been exposed to NY de-icing measures in winter, which obviously include the use of a fuckton of salt. Is it too late for me to try fluid filming the car? Meaning if I do it, will it trap any pre-existing salt and speed up corrosion? I know for the exterior a wash and wax should suffice, but I’m concerned about the underside. Thanks.
>Meaning if I do it, will it trap any pre-existing salt and speed up corrosion?
No that's only an issue with the rubberized coatings. Fluid film and similar oil/gel/wax sprays will not make anything worse.
Was gonna get this done to my car but was told a few things:
Avoid zeibart, however people won't say it it's because retards applying their product incorrectly or actually taking it in to have them do it.
Is just an oil/slop undercoat that's intended for just one year good enough until I figure out what to do?

Exhaust gets the linseed oil treatment. Polymerization is a godsend with a drying oil.
Can you cook eggs on it without them sticking?
i use eggs for tire sealer, and as a medium for painting reproduction Botticellis
I've never thought of doing that. Neat.
and that works on exhausts does it? i've only used it on garden tools & for painting reproduction vermeers

Check local prices. The Krown guys do a pretty thorough job for about 150 if you don't want to bother getting compressor, sprayer, the bucket, etc.
>150
This is in leaf, by the way. In the burger it cost me 80-100 shop depending.
>no salt where i live
Yeah but you have you know who's which are much worse.
Not really. Only in the ghetto cities.
>dindu city pop: 1% of the local population
its 78 out 😀
It is still in the 100Fs here which sucks ass. I love fall but it can't get here soon enough
You don't know shit about salt life until you've done Bonneville Speedweek.
>Speed week
Come try speed winter, nagger
Muh trugg
Calm down amazon driver. Deliver my packages wagie and get off the internet

whats rust? salt who? i drive my aluminium car in winter, and no its not a tesla
i drive my '94 audi a8, rust free year after year, no treatment
don't be too smug, salt will turn aluminum into white powder
nope. aluminum doesn't rust
true
it corrodes nicely though
i didn't say it rusts, only ferrous metals 'rust' i said salt water turns it into white powder, salt water corrodes aluminum
I'd rather just drive to a Krown and have them do it for like $80 instead of dealing with that shit myself

You need to do it a hell of a lot more than every 2 years. You should also use the really thick roll on stuff in places that are exposed to road wash.
>One gallon of FF should do the whole truck, right?
Yes with some to spare. Do it yearly though.

Thank you, appreciate the answer
i've seen people on forums arguing that oil on the underside of your car speeds up the rusting process, they were either retarded or trolls
Was gonna get this done to my car but was told a few things:

i zieberty it over again whenever i see rust on my impala shitbox
come at me bro
