milspray rust proofing

during a random search found this outfit that does the petroleum based under coating spray, about an hour from me.

someone had posted they are putting their truck in for the annual undercoating at a cost of about 125, so I started to inquire about doing this in my area and the cost was 229.


giving them a shot next week,

Sounds like a Carwell product...

Truthfully though, the black Woolwax will give you that black look as they show in that link you posted.

My truck is getting the black on the frame and other spots before winter this year, all jokes aside.

Never seen your jokes and why do you say I get upset? Probably the wrong word but no worries

this is the only outfit I found within an hour from me.

the annual reapply is what I was looking for. This is a petroleum based product.

they also have a one and done linex type treatment which looks good but I would be concerned about electrical connectors with it.

I’m 68 , and have become of the mindset to reduce my exposure to chemicals so no more crawling under my truck to spray chemicals.

I thought calling you the "spokesman for CCV reroutes" was funny. I was being sarcastic, even posted it with this >>>

"Why would you say this? Not nice at all, I chime in like everyone else with my opinion, yet you label me as the "spokesman" on the topic. You have tons more right up on this subject than I do, not to mention how many catch cans you have purchased, and replaced until you find the ultimate dream.........I get it, have your fun experimenting, but I don't see the reason for sarcasm."

Then my further reply:

It got worse when I became a street cop for about 30 years now... its just something that comes with the territory for me.

In all honestly, I truly was just "busting your chops." That's it... nothing more...

Hell, I could be called the oil catch can spokesman here in the 6.7 section. I never take myself too serious or at least try not to...

I'm not knocking the CCV reroute method, at all. If i wasnt in the Cali to the east state of New York, or worried about potential turbo issues (I'd love to know more about that like Bill Hewitt brought up) and other issues, I'd consider it...

It's just different strokes for different folks is all... we all look at things differently and sometimes we can be a complete wise azz in the process..

So since it's my thread, I'll allow the discussion of a CCV reroute in my oil catch can thread."




I don't need nor want your approval for anything. Just like you don't need mine. All I'm doing is calling it like it is jimzpsd. Seems like you think it's only funny when it's somebody else... tell me I'm wrong.

Point made. I'm done with this.

************************************************** ************************

On with Fritz's discussion of that Milspray stuff on his truck.

Fritz, when I went to get my truck done recently at Carwell, I was talking with the receptionist who told me about a farmer who sprays his tractors with Carwell. I'm imagining he buys it and sprays it himself. He then waits two weeks and sprays them with Fluid Film I believe she said. I had been buying cans of Fluid Film for years to do spot duty on my truck. Had never heard of Woolwax before.

Last year I ordered two cans of their black Woolwax in spray cans to try it. IMO, it's better than Fluid Film and doesn't drip like Fluid Film as Fluid Film is thinner. I will buy some canned black with the extension wand to get into the closed parts of the frame and under the bed where the crap Ziebart caused the bed frame channel to rust on the end of the channel. After I retire, I want to pull the bed. Get it on stands to get at what corrosion is there which I believe is minimal but it is there on the inside.





Then I am going to buy the 2.5 gallon jug of black Woolwax, apply to the frame with a brush to the insides of the bed and underneath the cab/bed after some brief spot prep. I will definitely do a new thread on that.

This is when I just sprayed it on my plow rams... it was still wet there.








This stuff covers way better than Fluid Film that I used to spray on these.

Here's my wife's car after this past winter... sprayed it on her bearing nuts since the factory plastic inserts on the factory wheels would not work on the steel wheels I bought for the winter tires.






I highly recommend this stuff in conjunction with the oil spray... it's some tenacious schtuff...

The stuff I’ll be using didn’t make this hit parade….but like the video says…some protection is better than no protection.

Either did Woolwax... there's another company I saw that's located in Rochester... but I'm good with Carwell for my truck. I like the fact they spray inside the rockers to keep it from rusting inside out and it creeps to get into all the crevices and cracks inside...

I'm definitely doing Woolwax before the upcoming winter. There's a few gravel roads about 45 minutes from me that I know about, unless I find ones closer but I'm good driving to them out there to get the dust kicked up and get the Woolwax covered with dust...

I'll post pics of the heavier Woolwax HV I put in my rear wheel wells... its coated pretty good with dust and crap... stayed right where I put it.

Up to you but I think the lanolin based Woolwax holds up well and will offer additional protection on the frame... or even underneath the truck cab and bed.

It's easy to see I like a dirty truck underneath... to keep it solid and keep the rot away... pretty much have to.

I would use used diesel oil if I could find someone to apply it.


recycle is a good thought thing

These are the pics I posted above... I took these the day I sprayed them this year, March 19th...

I took these today...





The plow sits on a dolly off to the side and my younger son plays basketball... must have hit it... just reapplied with some more. This sits in the rain and the Woolwax is unaffected. Much thicker than FF IMO...

Good luck with your truck...

Post up when it's done.
