Stopping and Preventing Rust
Hello All,
I got a 2004 F250 SD Crew Cab and I will be replacing the bed on it soon, Ohio winters have been hell on it. Since I will have it off I would like to address the rust on the frame and prevent it from occurring on the new bed. Does anybody have any experience with POR-15, Fluid Film, the Eastwood products, Chassis Saver or any other method to keep rust at bay. Just trying to decide which way to go.
Thanks in advance

It depends on how much money and time you want to spend as well as visual enhancement.
Although the eastwood and POR products are excellent and the best, they are "typicaly" used for restoration purposes and are usually a one time apply. I use the fluid film on a yearly bases and it works well. Use it on your door, hood, tailgate and body seals or whereever else. Can be a tough product to wash off but usually takes several washing to remove, will attract other dirt which can adhere to it but works as advertised.
