[@Gemini_0815]

One thing: chemicals that break up dust and grime etc... are also braking up your skin and lungs over time. So to make yourself last as long as your truck, you have to protect yourself (gloves! Facemask!)

I think fluid film accomplishes the same thing, just start from when truck is new. It does tend to attract dust, but it’s only cosmetic the protection is always there.

[@MyHMMWVaddiction]

Yes, I'm a fluid film guy. It does attract dust that actually helps add to the thickness of the film.

[@nombr]

Fluid film would stay underneath the truck all winter?

[@simd510]

@@MyHMMWVaddiction I fluid filmed the frame on my last truck. I live off a gravel road and it got a nice coating of dirt on the entire frame. Stayed like that for the 2 years I kept it. Didn't need to wash it ever and only reapply in a few areas that would wash off..

[@CodySnell_87]

after cleaning id recommend if you have a box frame using 3m cavity wax and spraying that inside the boxed areas and anywhere theres an over lap then use that or fluid film but before all of that id use por 15 on any rust starting after you wire brush the loose stuff off then use like a rustoleum paint to paint it all then after thats done as routine maintenance id use the cavity wax and fluid film i have a tacoma and the frame looks new i also have a 73 f250 highboy and the underneath looks new on that and i live in pa in the salty road area of the united states that truck was a frame up restoration tho it did have sone rust but i didnt own it from new its rust free now

You should drop the rear tire too, lots of grim and dust gets hung up there and the mechanical components can get seized up.

👍 I leave my spare in the box. For multiple reasons.

[@ALT_RIGHT]

Yeah it's like he didn't even care about cleaning his truck LOL just kidding

[@pwlw185]

Found someone just like me only my vehicles are a Sprinter van and Subaru STi. Lots of advantages in getting underneath and cleaning, can see early evidence of leaks, wires/hoses rubbing or not supported properly, and obviously keeping clean is best for corrosion prevention. There is a lot of engineering under our vehicles and most of it is well done. It’s very satisfying to keep it clean if you have time.

[@rizaptor7005]

I tried this method right after you posted it but since I'm in Wisconsin I just thawed out today.. nice work

[@Dannyj21]

Dude you would go mental If you lived in Ontario. Keeping it soaked with oil spray (corrosion free, krown, rust check or fluid film) is our only hope lol

[@TheScoundrel70]

Yup, my pre-winter routine is to spray, drive up and down a dusty dirt road until the drips stop, then spray, and drive up and down the road again. When you are done, it looks like your undercarriage is made from that expanding foam stuff, but at least it won't rust. Once spring hits, and there has been enough rain to wash the salt off the roads, I'll give it a good clean to get the oil/dirt/salt cement off, and re-spray. It's a 1952 Dodge M37CDN, and hasn't dissolved yet, so I'm calling the method proven.

[@simd510]

@@TheScoundrel70 Why do you have to get the oil/dirt coating off in the spring? Isnt that a good barrier from the salt/water? Couldnt you just touch up areas that washed away and keep that coating there as long as it lasts?

[@TheScoundrel70]

@@simd510 absolutely, but it does make inspection difficult, and it stops the lanolin spray's ability to creep and "self heal" minor rubs and such. Plus, I take it to a few local car shows. Just for fun. A shiny sprayed undercarriage still lets you see everything. Caked up, it looks more like neglect, and it's hard to make out any of the oddities that the Canadian Military installed.

[@ltklaus5591]

Great video. One thing I was surprised with was that you didn't remove the spare tire to clean it and around it. In the video you could see dirt on it. With how thorough you were with the rest of the cleaning, that just surprised me.

[@nicksname26]

Tbh he might’ve off camera lol

[@billchristo7894]

After I wash my undercarriage either on my 4Runner or my daughter’s Jeep, I use an electric leaf blower to really get that heavy water blown off. Usually does the trick. No water pooling in places.

[@-ouv]

How would we do something like this during winter in Michigan when salt is always on the truck and wash the truck 4 times a week lol

[@TheBeatenPaths]

Around October, wash under there the best you can. Then go get it undercoated with Fluid Film, and don't wash it again till May.

[@lachlanmclean8835]

This is honestly the best tutorial to clean your undercarriage, You have to care for your vehicle to do this, I already do that to our truck,not to mention that is the cleaning 3rd gen Dodge I've seen! Love the channel man!

[@JustDiesels]

Glad it helped and thank you!

[@shannonhaggerty3750]

Hey Andrew. Thanks for this video. Question: Are there any parts of the undercarriage that should not be cleaned- that we should not touch? e.g. I'm thinking the brake disks (sorry, not a car expert). Sometimes I worry that the washing might harm something.

Gonna do this to my prerunner....side by side car and tow rig lol....why not just do everything! Loved it bro!

[@John-100]

Pressure wash using synthetic soluble oil used in CNC machine tools, it does not take much but it coats the undercarriage with anti-rust coating that will not collect dust, that is if you use 1/8 ounce per gallon mix. it also leaves the undercarriage looking great.

[@tommymadux3646]

I just got my new truck and it’s been awhile since I had a truck I plan on keeping till I die. So looks like it’s back to spending time doing this. I used to do similar just not as deep but thanks for some new info so stuff I was miss. Now not only is this good to protect the truck but you really start to get to know your truck it becomes a friend in a way. But another big thing about this is can find all the broken or damaged things also you can catch things before it can do damage in some cases. Say a nut fell off on part of the suspension while your mudding and the bolt Get covered up then one day the bolt falls out the. There goes a leaf or a coil then crash there goes your truck. But if you were this detailed about it you will notice the nut most likely before it falls off so you tighten it up and it’s all good. You really know your truck this way you know when somethings not right. Plus your more in tune with it. You become one with your truck. Now I see you are using all adam products. Now do you use them because they sponsor your vids or do you truly like it more then anything else. I can see you love you truck, as the same as I love mine. When it comes to products like car care wash stuff or really anything you will only put what you feel is the best for it and going to protect it the most and cost is not a factor for the most part. If your favorite quick detail is was 100 dollars a bottle but in the end you really saw it’s was the best and you saw the value in it you would spend it with out thinking twice. So why adams? Did you always use in the past before you even started KZbin? How many other brands and type have you tried before them ? Also are You trying new types of products from time to time to see if something newer and better came out? Or is their stuff good and they send it free so you use it? There’s a ton of different products on the market and there’s a hand full of really good ones and I feel there’s at least 2-3 different brands that could be used instead of one another and the same results what be achieved. What do you think about that?

[@deanmaccrone7170]

Living in Ontario, Canada you have spray the entire vehicle down with rustproofing oil and then the rooad dirt that accumulates on top of that actually protects it. Then you wash off excess accumulation of dirt in the spring and then spray on top of whats left once it dries. So we have a layer of oily road dirt to protect the vehicle.

I wish the previous owner did this to my truck. It’s to late now

I have a 360 wheel brush that works awesome for getting in tight spots. It also does a great job when I wash my motorcycle getting in between stuff you normally couldn't reach with a regular brush.

Love to hear if you do anything for the dash to prevent cracking. Thanks and keep up the good work!
