Fluid Film Lanolin Rust Prevention 1 Year Review: How Did it Hold Up?

[@HOMEWORK4.0]

When I do mine, I cover the brake rotors and calipers. One year I didn't and got overspray on my rotating brake parts. My truck didnt stop to well after, and the FF got imbedded into the pads. I had to change out the pads, scuff and squirt down the rotors with brake cleaner. Now I apply the FF with a brush to the rotor backing plates after I spray the chassis and remove the garbage bags on all 4 corners!

[@DK-vx1zc]

Good thorough job.. Good product.. Dont forget to drop the spare tire and spray the other side of that rim. Thanks for sharing!

[@Ghostrider-71]

I just finished up a old 80 series Landcruiser and am really keen to stop and prevent rust. I had a Krown application done back in April and used Fluid Film for the touch up. I am going to do my other vehicles before the roads turn into a salted mess. Great video.

[@raymondhellberg3600]

Great! Two things I really like about FF is that it slowly creeps into places you might oversee, and that it softens/rejuvinate other/older undercoatings and making those either "new again" or easier to remove to reveal the rust beneath.

[@thomasbartlett6771]

Greetings from northern Vermont, salt capital of the world!! Bar and Chain oil is the product of choice up here. A gallon of "Black Max" oil can be purchased from Walmart about $10.00 delivered!! Been using bar oil for over 25 years and it worked great... Anything that stays in place will work just fine. Touchups every year help build up the "dirt layer". Great video and thank for posting!!

[@QuickSpeedShop]

I know oil would work great, but really don't want a rainbow under my truck every time it gets wet. FF is nontoxic and biodegradable.

[@thomasbartlett6771]

@@QuickSpeedShop Its common knowledge that WoolWax, PB Blaster Shield, NHOU are thicker and stay on the high wash areas better. What you could do is use any of those on the carriage and the FF INSIDE rockers, doors,frame , enclosed box sections etc...... just saying..

Up here in Canada in the salt belt we take the vehicles to Krown rust control, and they have excellent rust product, but this year going to try fluid film. Great video! 👍🇨🇦

@artisanbusiness1314 Fluid film is garbage, it washes right off!! ✅️

[@Steven91992]

Definitely go with fluid film it's way better than krown. I've heard stories of krown deteriorating rubber over time. Also corrosion free is pretty good. product.

[@mmaaddict78]

@artisanbusiness1314 I think Krown is the same shit. It's all just Woolwax lanolin based stuff. It's all made out of the oil from sheep wool.

[@steinbauge4591]

Actually works best if there is a thin layer of rust on the metal, goes into the pores supposedly. That's what I had to work with - saves you a ton of work removing rust.

[@mikemorrison6023]

Here in PA I heat mine in the gun cup , really flows and helps it creep into everything . Good stuff !

[@jonathanryan2915]

I do the same with the aerosol cans. Soak them in hot tap water until the whole can is good and warm when you shake it up. seems to work better that way

[@dwightrhodes2051]

I find it better to apply 2x a year. I have a 2016 ram 2500 and it looks great underneath. No rust.

[@jimj2683]

Business idea: Car wash that automatically pressure washes every crease and crevice on the underbody and then applies fluid film.

[@dejandezman6139]

Mission impossible

[@MisterRay11]

That looks real good I heard you drive on a dusty or dirt road so it sticks and makes a coating

[@streetbikebilly2597]

I recommend applying this in the fall. That way the oil will get covered with dirt and sand, possibly drive down some dusty sandy roads that way it's not fresh when it hits the salt as it will already be tarred and feathered so to say. If you really want to make it last forever drive up and down a milling job when they grind up the road a couple times. That stuffs dusty and it sticks to anything and loves gathering up under cars and radiators and stuff.

[@QuickSpeedShop]

That's when I apply, in September and October. I also tell people to drive on dusty roads and avoid heavy bottom blasting car washes in the winter.

[@streetbikebilly2597]

@@QuickSpeedShop yeah I feel those shoot alot of salt vertical to spots it wouldn't have reached like under the hood and they don't last long enough. Best bet is to use a self service and bring a creeper if need be.

I might have to do my own diy video and show em how to get that thing filthy rotten. If you go under it and come out clean yah ain't done it right. Every mechanic knows that black soot and dust and oil

[@streetbikebilly2597]

@@sargonoshana2324 I still wash my truck after I have been driving around in the salt. But I prefer to get under at the self serve and spray with a wand I feel like the car wash blasts the salt up into the engine bay and stuff like that.

[@liottastudiosllcFineArt]

I switched to CRC. Excellent protection and it does NOT wash off.

[@adamcoe]

I was thinking about that, but people say it's absolutely impossible to remove should you ever need to take it off. Which admittedly would be rare, but how would you compare FF to CRC in terms of effectiveness? I assume I'd have to re-apply FF every year whereas CRC perhaps less, but I also don't want a crazy, goopy mess under the vehicle.

[@tominaklan9702]

Sure wish I could find someone to do this to my new f250

[@1marcelfilms]

You should add a scent oil for candle making into the fluid fim. It makes everything smell nice for months

I did the sheet metal too. Even though the cab is aluminum it's held together with steel rivets and steel fasteners which will corrode with salt eventually.

[@buysncharge]

I wouldn't cost the shocks. The rust let's you know they need replacing.

[@jwc3104]

Question - I've got an 08 chevy van. It has surface rust (but nothing bad that's flaking off). is it ok to spray this fluid film over the surface rust? Won't it "seal in" the pre-existing rust?

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Yes it's fine to spray over the surface rust.

[@rohitbhatnagar7599]

I want to put on my cast iron sink, after I take off the rust. Since I do not remove sink every year or 10 years, would this work. The main area where sink contacts surface is the problem, which will contain chaulk, as well.

[@QuickSpeedShop]

I don't think this would be the best thing. The FF never dries. You would be getting it on you whenever you touched it. Also since it's a lanolin wax your caulk won't stick to it. Your best bet is to get the rust off and paint with some kind of moisture curing urethane paint.

[@garybenski6383]

If the vehicle was older and had some surface rust can i just spray over the rust?

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Yes

[@98durangopack]

Nice video buddy, I take it it is not the fluid film black? Just picked up a new F250 and going to apply in the next week or so. I think I can deal with the dirt and color after the dust etc. Don't know if I want the shiny like POR-15 stuff. Kinda like the dull finish. If this is the butterscotch/clear I'll buy some today. I'll probably get a gallon of Amazon and the FF gun. Will that ne enough?

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Yes, just reg FF. I use the black to dress up visual areas like wheel wells or trailer hitches I'd they are rusty.

I can make some rubber like door seals swell up a little.

[@ironicpunishmentdivision4226]

So once you apply it, you don't wash the vehicle in the winter?

[@QuickSpeedShop]

I wash the outside with soap and water by hand. The underside I just rinse off with a hose. If you run the vehicle thru the car wash with a bottom blast excessively in winter you run the risk of washing off some of the FF protection.

[@ClayCourtGuy]

Does it contaminate brake pads?

[@QuickSpeedShop]

You don't want to spray it on the brakes.

I live in the midwest. Once this stuff is sprayed, can i still do car washes? Or will it wash it off the undercarriage

aluminum parts dont need fluid film.

[@QuickSpeedShop]

Aluminum will corrode from salt anywhere it touches steel and it will lightly corrode in general. I sprayed an aluminum box truck and anywhere the aluminum touched steel was a corroded mess.

[@todd4468]

I doubt the likelihood of corroded aluminum is high on any vehicle. The excepting being for galvanic corrosion (e.g., when it touches dissimilar metals) and it’s unlikely you stop that with an undercoating product.

[@QuickSpeedShop]

You can doubt all you want. I've sprayed lots of things with aluminum corroded around dissimilar metals. Fluid Film, Woolwax, or Surface Shield all slow corrosion way down. I've sprayed dozens of cars for years. I know how this stuff works.
