Why is there a lawn gnome lol

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

🎉🥳🎈🥳🎉 I’ve been waiting for this!!! The garden gnome has been in every single video for the last 15 months, since July 2021; the last 63 videos! I’ve been waiting patiently for someone to say something about it and you are the first person! I will definitely make a post about it, and will very likely make a video about it. Probably circling the gnome in a string of clips from every video. You are the hero of the year! This is epic! 🎉🥳🎈🎉🥳

Cool. Great video I bought a can of both tonight from the hardware store going to be trimming my Tacoma in fenders for bigger tires and want to spray something onto them after going to return the 3 AM rubber undercoating and keep the bedliner. Thanks.

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

Nice! That’s definitely what I would use as well.

[@venividivici6418]

Very thorough and really informative vid. Thanks, appreciated! I think fluid film or oil is the best option, but interesting to see how good bed liner works. Ultimate comparison would've been these two against plain enamel rustoleum paint, which is what I've seen recommended to avoid moisture being trapped underneath the rock chips and accelerating rust. Then cover in fluid film once yearly.

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

I’ve used brush on rustoleum oil based paint on my Jeep frame and it has worked very well. I’m using fluid film to undercoat all of my vehicles this winter.

[@triasc8469]

I’m going to do this to my 2008 Ford F150…I wasn’t sure if to use Corroseal or por 15 before it though…great video thank you

[@ryancaputo1671]

super helpful, just returned 4 cans of rubberized

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

Lol. I just bought 4 cans of truck bed liner to recoat all of my vehicles before winter.

[@ghettohey2388]

If your going to apply this type of product to your underside of the bed you need to either sandblast the metal or sand it down to bare metal and then epoxy prime it with min two coats then apply the coating. This seals the surface so the bedliner coating doesnt cause moisture/rust issues

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

100% agree! I used rust converter first, which is designed to neutralize rust and provide a primed surface ready to paint. Whether rust converter works or not is a separate topic (but I was thrilled to finally throw it in the trash after this video). I personally use Blaster Surface Shield every fall.

[@jimmarchman]

Excellent video. I bought a dozen cans of Ruberized Black before seeing this clip and I would prefer the bedliner product but I've got 6 cans of this stuff so I'm going to use it. Thankfully I'm way down south and far away from the salty air of the oceans. Your vid makes me confident the product I have will do fine. Thanks again for the quality video.

Yes! It is hidden in every video and was recently discovered! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYutq2ttg62Saqs I have fluid film on my list of products to keep in mind. Thanks!

[@JoelGrant]

I love fluid film, but one issue is that it cannot protect a new underbody from gravel chips on country roads. For that, you need something much tougher. I'm considering a 2 part epoxy coating with ground rubber, or a premium 3m underbody product.

[@glynn3331]

It’s like 20 degrees as I speak so I feel your “SUMMMER” lol hahahaha

I had a Saturn Vue like that same color. Mine had a Honda Engine and transmission in it. I hated driving it in the rain though the window design was not the best for rainy weather. Certain Saturn Vues had Acura Honda engines in them.

I do remember reading that the V-6 was a Honda engine. I have the GM four-cylinder Ecotec. It’s currently at 210,000 miles, still running well. I just replaced all of the suspension, and have also replaced all the wheel bearings over the last couple years. Hoping to drive it for many more years.

And I just purchased the underbody can on line like 2hrs ago ..think ill get the truck bed one and paint over the undercoat ..I live in kzn south Africa so no salt or snow here just fuckin hot n humid

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

We can’t win. I have the snow and salt, you have the heat and humidity. Is there anywhere with nice weather in the world?

[@xephael3485]

The best thing I've found for the rubberized undercoating is for use on trees that have been cut or have bark damage... maybe for battery trays as well. Otherwise it's crap.

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

Yes!

[@Winkleo.x]

Undercoat gave me strange results. I de-rustred a sheet of expanded metal with electrolysis, treated it with phosphoric acid, primered it with self-etch, then gave it two coats of undercoating. Took several days to cure. It looked fantastic! However, after a good day of rain, the deep black turned to a chalky dark gray. Totally not expected. I'll let it weather out and deep cure for a few months, then apply something else.

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

You did everything right! I agree, the rubberized undercoating gets chalky. Not desirable.

[@freddietellez8737]

Just fyi u used way to much corroseal a foam brush it better also you should have degreased the under body then 1 last time with Dawn dish soap then pressure wash to remove all the under body then when dry use the corporeal wait 24hr then check it if its all black your good to go if not all black and u see brown then wire brush those spots then repeat the cleaning on the spots then use a tall can of the rustoulem professional grade black paint and your good to go a quart of corroseal will do an entire truck and a half under body it gose a long way for a rust converter primer and sealer in one. Hope this helps

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

Perfect, thanks for sharing!

[@freddietellez8737]

@@HowtoandReviewsOfficial yup no problem.

[@MEHTCG]

Only time under coating really helps with us when the car is brand new no rust applied anyway trust me I own 2016 Mazda 3 and after under coating it till this day it’s great and I live in Canada where rust is impossible to avoid almost 😅

[@MEHTCG]

Or if u take almost 90% of the rust off the frame or most parts under the car. U will protect it and keep it from rusting simply spraying over it and only getting some rust out does noting it will just spread underneath the undercoat

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

Definitely. Paint will trap the moisture in and it will rust underneath the paint. I used rust converter first, which is supposed to neutralize the rust resulting in a primed surface, ready to paint, but that stuff is not effective in my opinion. I’m currently spraying all of the vehicles with Blaster Surface Shield every fall.

[@jaysonburns8512]

You should have taken a wired brush to it with a wire wheel on your drill...premiered it first after wire wheeling it then use the coating

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

Ideally, I agree. That’s exactly what I would do for a small area. For me, it’s not practical to do that for the entire underbody of 4 vehicles. I just wash them down and apply a coat before winter. It’s much better than doing nothing.

[@cephasgunn1993]

Man I got me an 02 passat, just did my own brake lines and rear subframe replacement, and well, yeah you guessed it, for 20 years traveling from germany to the uk its acquired some surface rust spots. I'm thinkin this idea of truck bed liner is a solid 10/10 as an option. thank you for doing this video. its ace ;)

[@zell863]

Fluid Film, Cosmoline. Stay away from rubberized undercoating.

[@sbond1963]

The absolute worst thing you can do to your vehicle is spray the undercarriage with rubberized undercoating or bedliner. Traps salt and moisture. Accelerates rust. Hard coatings=hard fail. Always use soft coatings. Like wax or oil. But once the hard coating is on, no wax or oil can help you now. She’s toast.

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

Thanks for sharing. I agree. I washed it and coated with rust converter first. Theoretically, the existing rust is neutralized, causing no more threats, and is ready for a topcoat. (weather rust converter works or not is a different topic that I do not want to get into.) Fighting rust is a losing battle. Doing something is better than doing nothing.

[@slickdoglong3669]

I spray in panels and all under frame and springs with gear oil and diesel fuel couple times a year little pump sprayer

[@bowtiebuilding]

@@slickdoglong3669how long have you been doing that? How has your frame held up? I heard of people using Lin sead oil

[@khg8519]

Cool

[@athletikonaol]

Yes, ultimately everything will fail. I'm going to use a method like yours but not a rubberized coating. Just rust inhibiting paint. The frame and many other components are painted in manufacture. So if the chosen rust converter is a good one, you're going back similar to original if you paint it. Then folks can always use woolwax or fluid film if they want and protect the paint and the metal. @@HowtoandReviewsOfficial

[@keithhooper6123]

Better results would be achieved with thorough preperation.All loose rust needs removing to solid metal,and treating.I would never use the rubberized coating on existing rust.The truck bed coating is good,also the lanolin based coatings.

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

For sure! I used rust convertor, so theoretically the rust is neutralized into a primer and ready for a top coat... I used Blaster Surface Shield this year and will continue to do so.

[@cantbuyrespect]

if you live in an area where they salt the roads you should not use either of these as it will trap salt and moisture in and accelerate the rusting process. Use some sort of lanolin oil such as fluid film instead. This has been proven.

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

I do plan to use fluid film this winter.

[@DV-id6di]

Wheel well ok. Not on all undercarriage

[@allthekidsareright]

Should have tried regular black Rustoleum that you just paint on with a brush. Seems to be holding up well on my truck.

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

I agree. I used Rustoleum oil based brush on paint on my Jeep frame several years ago and it says held up very well. Oil-based is the key. One important note is that I only drive it during the summer. I do not drive it in the winter salt and slush. I think the salt would eventually eat it up.

[@sonsonny1000]

It takes long I used por15 applied by brush but man it says apply 2 coats and it’s time consuming. How did you do the bottom under the cab. I did the rear end by taking off the bed

[@whiteviper1979]

​@@HowtoandReviewsOfficialthe salt will definitely eat it up over time but it's a decent product overall for the price...

[@tlcpg8894]

How about another review? Hows it holding up

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

The surface coated with truck bed liner is still holding up nice. However, it’s important to note that paint should not be applied directly over rust. It’ll trap it in and rust underneath. This is very important on a vehicle frame/underbody. In this video, I used Corroseal rust converter first, which is advertised to neutralize the rust into a primer, ready for a topcoat. In my experience, don’t waste your time with rust converters. They have not worked for me. For an underbody, use something like Fluid Film or Blaster Surface Shield annually.

[@alvinmons3576]

Better, clean and remove the rust using cap brush from grinder. That’s it before apply the undercoat spray. 😊

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

For sure. I used rust converter which is supposed to just be able to spray on and paint over. (I personally think that stuff is garbage, which is a separate topic.). I’m currently using Blaster Surface Shield every fall.

[@slow0017]

can you use undercoating for the bed?

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

I definitely would not use the rubberized undercoating for a truck bed. That’s the worst paint that can be used for that application in my opinion. You will want a coating that’s hard and slippery.

[@winm7479]

Both will trap moisture and will cause to rust even worse.

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

Absolutely. I’m using blaster surface shield.

[@Foche_T._Schitt]

Surest way to accelerate rust is to trap it so the steel has no choice but to corrode. Use lanolin, not rubber.

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

Fluid film this year.

[@Jeepdriver75]

Not all the same, the Pro undercoating is more like the bedliner.

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

Great! Thanks for sharing!

[@Ken-RicSki]

I hope that it’s good stuff🤞, I just spent some miserable time and a decent bit of cash coating under my car with the rust-oleum pro-grade undercoating cans. I used the rust reform-and-seal under it first though.

[@brendan2599]

Rubberized undercoat is "self healing", meaning that rock chips will reseal. Truck bed liner is not.

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

Thanks for sharing!

[@crapmaster5000]

Rubbereized coating is only good on new trucks. Otherwise you will be stuck re-oiling it every year.

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

I agree. I used Blaster Surface Shield this year.

[@khg8519]

Don't undercoat your vehicles a trap for rust

[@HowtoandReviewsOfficial]

I agree with you! In this video, I used a rust converter first, which is advertised to convert the rust, resulting in a primer, which then requires a top coat of paint. Does rust converter work? I personally do not think so. But, that’s a whole separate topic, lol. But yes, I agree. I am using fluid film this winter.
