Something we do a lot here in New England is we get one end of the car up on ramps in the fall and rinse it out really well. Let it dry overnight and then spray everything down with a can of Fluid Film to coat everything for the winter. If there's any rust around you just wire brush it and then then use some rust converter on it first. But, the few people that bother with this seem to have cars that hold up really well over time. Folks used to get their cars undercoated around here a lot. But, over the last twenty years or so it's sort of fallen out of favor.

[@pjwlk]

I agree with Dave Houston regarding the use of an oil based product over the paint on type. It gets into everything. Having said that though, it can be hard on the rubber seals around the doors and trunk. I also worry about the door speakers as well. I had an old Bonneville that was professionally sprayed yearly and the body was still in great shape when I finally got rid or it. Another thing to consider is that if you DIY spray you have to make sure that it doesn't get on the brakes or exhaust. That combined with the mess, I think it's better to pay the $120/year to have somebody else do it.

[@waynebinky]

$125 won't get you in the front door of the spray shops in Canada. Not to mention a lot of these companies do a poor job and just hope the customer never goes under the car afterwards. Good odds of the typical owner not bothering to look afterwards. I've bought the stuff needed for Fluid Film application ($90can per USgal) as our new car has so many plastic panels under it there is no way I'd trust a shop to remove the panels then spray it. They will definitely take the short-cut and try with them on.

[@greghannigan4702]

I work at the Ford, GM, Chrysler all auto manufactures in paint dept. You are correct about the Elpo/Phosphate dip. They dunk car bodies and when going through paint shop bodies are grounded and the paint robots also have High Voltage 90,000Kv that charges the paint and help to adhere to the body. More often than the plants admit the High Voltage systems has issues regularly. Most time they will disable the HV system to keep robots painting but they 5 years down the road it starts to wear out prematurely. So Clearcoat peels off or is thin and will begin to rust. Bottom edges of doors on the F150's is a hot spot for low paint film builds so they start to rust early. Almost all auto manufactures have their weak spots that are usually in same areas. I always drive F150 so I notice all mine on bottom edge inside of driver door is a spot to keep an eye. Since I've worked with every auto manufacturer applying, designing paint specs, repairing the paint robots, film build densities and so on, FORD has the most reliable paint process of all manufacturers!. Also if you get real lucky you'll have a vehicle that went through the paint booths and missed a little spot so they will send it through the second time to get painted again. In my experience those are the vehicles you want because they will not rust and the paint hold up forever because it's got twice as many layers. I look for indications of 2 runs through paint booth and buy those vehicles even if it not the color I want because it will last forever!. The next F150 I buy is going to be brand new right off the line and I am going to be in charge of sending my truck through the paint shop twice so paint job wil last forever! I worked on, loaded, maintained and inspected Tom Brady's truck for winning the super bowl and the truck was labeled as such through production so people knew not to make any mistakes or slack on that specific vehicle through the whole production process.

[@markanthony3275]

Scotty...as a bodyman/painter I can tell you that clearcoat is a "cross linked polymer" ...you can not "nourish" clear coat with a wax. The real purpose of wax is to be an extra "sacrificial layer" that can be replaced easily and cheaply...and it is slippery so that dirt does not gain a foothold in the tiny scratches caused by grit as you drive, and from washing and wiping the grit at the car wash. You are exactly right about exposed metal corrosion , but DIRT is another enemy because DIRT is like a sponge that holds moisture against the surfaces of your vehicle...especially inside the doors and wheel wells . Look at northern Dodge , Ford (steel bodied) and Chevy trucks and what do you always see? Rusted out wheel openings over the rear wheels. Why is that? It's because the inner structure is like a shelf where DIRT gets to sit unless you get in there and consistently wash it out...some people even drill drain holes in the upper wheel well lip to make drain holes so they can wash it out easier.

[@drumminjim22]

@@VLK-73 Used oil has some acidic content, but what will happen is it will attract dirt until you go through puddles and then the oil is floated off by the water, but the wet dirt can remain. Just look at any puddle in a parking lot, what do you see on the surface? The multicoloured film of oil from someone's leaky motor. Some people oil the hood hinges on their trucks, then the oil attracts dirt, and then the hinges bind and the hood bends before the hinges will open up. I'm sure you've seen 70's Chevy trucks with bent hoods from seized hinges. Grease hinges...wash and let dry the underside of a vehicle and check the drain holes on doors, use a small tie wrap to make sure they are open because doors are designed to let water flow through .

My 98 Chevy Silverado has sat outside since new and not a single spec of rust anywhere. Here’s what I do: twice a year I spray Aero Kroil or some other penetrating oil all over the underside. The frame rails, a arms, rocker panels, inner wheel wells, leaf springs and all the fuel and brake lines door edges and hinges, inside the bumpers. I use the entire can, sometimes two. It has worked for me.

[@wv4life375]

When I was a young lad in WV we would occasionally paint our truck frame with used oil. Seemed to work well on a surface rusted frame as the rust would soak it up.

[@MadMaxx570]

New oil is better (and cheap, you dont need much) used oil gets kinda acidic from all the contaminants in it, so it'll eat away at metal (but still better than no covering against the elements, sorta)

Thank you for the Nu Finish mention. I used to use it in the pre-clearcoat days. Been hesitant since then. I loved it, easy to apply and did a great job. I'll go back to using it.

[@dougefresh8952]

Fluid Film. I apply it to most everything underneath that doesn’t move or get hot. Also I spray inside the drain holes of the door/trunk to prevent rust around the bottom. Redone every fall right before the snow hits.

Oil undercoats should be regular maintenance especially if you live in the rust belt

[@GameLoot]

I get fluid film coating on mine before each winter (or if not a full coat I at least spray the "trouble" spots where rust is starting). I wonder what works better... oiling it or painting it?

[@JT-91]

I have actually used both on 2 different cars. Both work really well when the person applying them knows what they're doing. I would argue that Fluid film is actually an "oil"in all reality. Despite people claiming you need a coating a year, I have found living in the Chicagoland area that I'm averaging 2-3 times a year. I will say Fluid film is easier to apply though but the downside to that is I have missed spots before from it's ease of use

[@sorenzx1923]

Hey Scotty, I know a number of people who coat the underside of their vehicles with diesel in the winter to protect them from the brine which is sprayed on the road to melt snow. Does this actually work and will the diesel harm the paint or metal on the bottom of the vehicle?

[@sandyseibelhager7131]

I love my Toyotas but living in Nebraska I have lost many Corollas and Camrys to rust. I think I'm going to try this.

[@Flagrum3]

Up here in Canada, Toronto Canada to be exact, they use salt and brine on the roads. Brine is a nasty stuff. My '05 1st Gen Mazda 3 'daily driver' is still rust free, and if anyone is in the know, they would be aware the 1st Gen 3's had a serious rust issue. I found the only method is to spray the whole vehicle with Krown formula; (Krown's own proprietary formula) and keep her clean and well waxed. Tars, waxes and most spray on products do little to prevent rusting and can actually retain moisture underneath.

[@trollking99]

I live in Guelph now, but used to live in Mississauga and would drive all around the GTA. My 05 Mazda 3 still runs but it's rusty. I passed it on to my mom when I got a new Hyundai Tucson this summer. I'm not taking any chances and will Krown my new car.

[@paulpuljic6855]

Just bought a used '05 Mazda 3 Hatch. Rust just starting on it now...only 105K on it. Fluid Film, bodywork and a prayer

[@kenweller2032]

Here in New England we have NH Oil Undercoating, which is quite similar. There are a few Krown dealers around as well.

[@chrisp7165]

Yup. Unfortunately mine rusted pretty bad. However, it still gave me 14 years of solid driving and really low maintenance costs. I could have kept driving it but I was ready for something new. Upgraded to a 2018 Mazda 3 Touring hatch.

[@MaestroTJS]

That is quite the feat. I had a 2004 and it started rusting even in the warranty period (which of course they denied and did nothing about). One body shop I took it to said mine was one of the worst they had seen. Totally destroyed the car's used car value. What ended up taking the car out was that the steering rack rusted through. This was a $2400 repair (not even at the dealership) and was more than the car was worth so I got rid of it. The rust was going on beneath the surface too as I had a couple of weird repairs over the years like the shock mounts failing. The brakes were always problematic too.

Rust starts on inside out, salt mud etc stays inside body panels when not washed properly. I've purchased many vehicle's that people dont keep drain holes open and clean. That starts rust. Keep drain holes clean . Where dirt and debris get stuck that where your problems begin.

I think I was more surprised that he even thought I needed new carpeting.

🤓 Hi guys, other car channels talk about 'Oil Undercoating', for example the company 'Krown', they spray oil into doors, side rocker panels, etc, there are shops in Canada that specialize in it, theres also DIY videos too, just please remember Dont get it on rubber bushings and rubber or u will be replacing Control Arms and Suspension parts unecesarily! 😰

[@IamTedV]

Known, Rust Check and many other “off” brand ones.

[@MrSamadolfo]

🙂 yes, u can checkout 'Krown,com'

[@MrSamadolfo]

🙂 also use a Tarp to cover ur car when u can

[@IamTedV]

Be careful on covering your vehicle with a tarp. If it is on something like concrete or asphalt, it isn’t as critical but if it is on unprotected ground, the tarp will accelerate the rusting, as the moisture evaporating from the ground, will be stopped by the tarp and hang out in your vehicle. I did this with a car I had as a teenager and when I went to get it, there was nothing left of the floor boards in it! It would have worked perfectly as a Flintstone car! If you are going to tarp your car and it is parked on plain ground, put a tarp or polyethylene sheet under it first. Then take a few gallon pails and fill them up with kitty litter, and then place them inside the car to absorb moisture.

[@MrSamadolfo]

Rust often starts from inside the body panels. You can't really clean it. You have salt and dirt trapped. We have dual axle dump trucks coating the roads shoulder to shoulder from the first snow to the first good rain. Gramma doesn't drive in the snow much. It all depends on what the manufacturer what was done in the factory. Mazda's are the worst. Texas and Minnesota are not the same for rust. Not even close.
