Nope, dropped the spare, inside the doors, bed mounts, quarter panels and fenders, tie rods and suspension, rocker panels, bumpers, exhaust and cat, brake lines...everything but the brake pads.

Yes, the tailgate was easy with all the access slots and holes.

I'll never use anything else is my experience - holding up very nice after a full two years and I just did my third application. It actually gets easier as time goes on and you don't use nearly as much product.

Good luck to you and wishing you a rust free future

 

Finished my oil undercoating today. I tested it's effectivness with the hose... I apologize for the crappy camera work in the video...

You can see the water bead up and just run off, much like a wax job.

 

Exactly what I was hoping to hear! Thank you!!

 

I just ordered some Fluid-Film, and can't wait to try it out. I believe that it will be a viable solution, but as mentioned, it will still be a yearly maintenance item. I don't mind that; with a solution, I don't mind doing the work.

 

FYI it has a potent odor at first that fades in a week or so. Leave it outdoors if your garage is connected to your house....

 

Thanks for the heads up. I keep my truck in the barn, and I will be applying the fluid film outdoors.

 

Did you get the kit for spraying it? It works great.

 

No, I bought some cans first. I want to experiment with it before buying a kit.

 

Aerosol cans? That's a pita of a job to do, trust me I know. I get it though. The whole kit makes it that much easier and way quicker. Plus I can really get it to fill all the holes and push it into the bed supports better because of the pressure. Aerosol cans work great for the lighter areas like door seams.

 

LOOKS GREAT! people been doing that for years with used oil and it WORKS. cant get no better and a good way to get rid that old oil too.

 

this is interesting. its called salt away. it claims to clean salt and corrosion and then leave behind a protective film. can be applied with a garden hose.

Thanks! I bought bar and chain oil though. Motor oil is for my camp fires

It would definitely be worth the old college try If it's good enough for salt water, I imagine it would be good enough for salty roads....

 

Rust and corrosion problems have been the only real problem that I've seen with my '06 truck. I did not do any adequate rust-proofing when the vehicle was new so I get to do the repairs now.

Had the bed removed. Applied PB Blaster to the bed bolts - they snickered at my efforts. Only 1 bed bolt came out The rest were plasma cut off. Bed support rails are heavily rusted and are getting replaced. One rear wheel arch is rusted through - the sealer behind the bed sheet metal acted as a sponge and caused the rust problem. The frame is not too bad but is getting a sandblast and repaint job.

Contrast this with a 2010 Subaru that I liberally apply fluid film to every year. Rust is minimal.

Lesson learned. Soak anything that can rust with a rust-proofer of your choice.

Just to get back to this thread... I bought the recommended 2 gallon Fluid Film kit for my CC Dually.. With 3 quarts of it applied, I had fluid film dripping out of almost every orifice and off the whole suspension. I used the last quart on my Jeep Wrangler.
Included in the kit I got was a coiled up tube with spray nozzle that would go on the single aerosol can that was included.. The coiled up tube was a bear to get to un-coil and stay that way.. Boiling water was the answer and I pulled it straight and ran under cold water..
Also included was a one-gallon topper with a pour spout. It was worthless. It would not snap down onto the gallon can even after having been warmed up..
Bottom line - it's messy and you don't want to do it in your garage without a tarp under it. It does not smell bad at all but it will drip for a long time, so park accordingly..
I will try to post a picture later..

 

that's great Randy. At least the stuff is not toxic.
