Dan, first thanks for sending me a sample a few months back. Second, I see in your avatar that you are a "PREMIUM SPONSOR", but I do not see FLUID FILM listed above in the sponsor area. What is the name of your company, or please explain.
Thx,

If you are looking for a place to purchase, you can find your closest retailer here: Fluid Film® | Corrosion Preventative, Lubricant and Rust Inhibitor
You can find the aftermarket products section on the main page. It's one of the forum sections.

Surf to the Fluid Film dealer locator and look for a familiar name. Mention FTE and get free shipping to the lower 48. I have heard that the most popular quantities of Fluid Film are in stock and ready to ship.

I bot 12 cans on line. Freight prepaid, $7.95/can, and no sales tax. My truck first and then I am going to spray the ATVs. Seems like a product that will allow easier cleaning. I bot mine from Kellsport. I looked under the online dealers. My local dealer want $9.25/can plus sales tax.

ATTN Fluid Film guy:
I finally found some fluid film at Napa autoparts today, the people at the counter didnt even know they sold it-second Napa store that said that. I think your retailers arent being educated in its uniqueness and usefulness (or existence).
Just sprayed down the suspension and some of the chassis of my Excursion, and the door bottoms, hood hinge and door hinge mounts, bumper mounts, etc. and some of the body seams. Its foggy and wet all of the time here so im hoping that in 30 years, my Ex will still be rust free if i keep applying the stuff every year. Im thinking about spraying down the underbody with it too (inside the rockers).
has anyone else gotten floor or door rust on their SDs yet?

Floor seem to be tough but not rocker they ROT because dirty and water can sit there.
Door's bottom on our 01 F250 already GONE.
Fender on rear fender is gone already.
This is reason why Michigan are worst on vehicles.

I live on the water near the gulf mex. and I built my boat lift 11 years ago and the thing that has held up the best is the cold galvanizing spray paint high in zinc, rustoleum makes it and you can get it from home depot. I put it on all the bolts and nuts and seams and ends of the steel where I cut it and none of them is rusted and all my neighbors lifts are rusting and the bolts are rusting as well, even the stainless steel ones. You could spray that under the truck and just go over it with some black paint.

This rust discussion has been brought up time and again. I have posted this company time and again andit has never once had a comment on use or is it a gimmick or anything. People just blow by my post like it was never there. Having said that I have a counteract system on my 2001 F350. Rust (surface) is at a minimal for a Michigan truck. Some spots around the seams and some pealing around the rear wheel wells but minimal underbody rust and rust holes (there are none) compared to my sons 2001 that does not have the counteract is amazing. Here is the link,

I was getting my windows tinted at a local Ziebart here in mass, one of the employee's was asking about my truck and I told him I bought it after it was sitting for a couple year so the frame had a lot of scale and more rust then normal. He said their undercoating protection works well for new vehicle but would help slow down rust for $299, so I figured why not. It came out good I watched them do it and they sprayed everything. I had them coat the oil pan and rocker really good. its $299 out of my pocket but I bring it back once a year and they recoat any trouble spots and inspect it for as long as I own the truck so I think It will pay for its self over time.<O

POR-15 is better on floorboards and trunks or areas that will be covered because it is not UV stable.

While the rockers were still clean I took a straightened coat hanger with a small rag on the end and plungered a mixture of axle grease cut with used motor oil, pretty messy but so far so good. Also popped off the door panels and first used the used motor oil inside the door along the bottom then went half way up the door with the axle grease used oil mixture, same with over the rear wheel wells.
