It's cheap, easy and seems to last at least through March (which is when they stop salting the roads around me). I already had some minor rust and doing this seems to have completely stopped its progression. Not bad for 12 (US) dollars and an hour's time once a year.

Thank you for passing along your knowledge. I enjoy your content. A couple of thoughts...I would spray both sides of the spare, especially, the bead to prevent corrosion and leaks. Also, I wouldn't get hung up on using the black products. These lanolin products get dirty and turn dark on their own. When I work on it, I don't want that black dye getting all over me. I am sure other mechanics would think the same thing.

Hey, thanks for the update, and not leaving us hanging. Their current metal protection process by the manufacturer obviously falls short, but it gets the vehicles through the warranty. It would be worth it to pay extra to have a superior coating applied during the build for complete coverage and longer lasting. But it's all about costs and pre-determined obsolencence. Got to sell those parts and that labor. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the video. Any of the lanolin coatings will work fine. According to "repair geek" here on KZbin, each one of the 3 lanolin products has different suttle advantages and disadvantages. The looser one(fluid film) may be better for inside boxed frames and closed body panels because it will creep better than the other 2 but won't wash off as easily in that protected area. One product has a strong smell that takes a few weeks to go away. Supposedly, pb blasters surface shied doesnt wash off as much as wool wax and fluid film. Repair geek lives in the rust belt and has been reviewing these here for 7 years on his vehicles. After 7 years, nothing has changed. He said he was going to stop updating until something starts rusting. Also, he hasn't had any damage to seals, gaskets, wiring, rubber, or plastics. Its good to hear a 2nd opinion, though, from another trusted source like you. I just wonder how you feel about working on a lanolin coated vehicle? I just cleaned up and painted the frame with mastercoat on my 97 f250hd 7.3 supercab 4x4. Im thinking about spraying some surface shield on it. Thanks for making this. 👍✌️

I’m actually impressed what fluid film and surface shield can do and I’m even impressed with this wool wax. I used to spend 600 or more and go yearly for touch ups. I spent 150 on a kit and do mine twice a year. The 2nd time I just give it a quick once over. My truck has held up really good and still looks factory after 3 years. I’m even doing other people vehicle making some side money I get better better at it each year. Most people don’t even think about the inside of the frame. You can even use this stuff to clean chrome just gotta do thin layer wipe of real good. Helps preserve chrome and other metal surfaces.

So before I watch I am hoping the Woolswax worked awesome & my Fluid Film job will be almost as awesome. I applied the Fluid Film in the 90 degree heat of August. A+ for the camera & lighting work I could see everything. After watching it is easy to see the Woolswax did a great job & held up great that is impressive. Looks like all it needs is a light touch-up every year to maintain protection.

On my 07 f150 I coated everything with e40 and let it sit a couple hours before pressure washing it off with hot water and then hot soap, and then hot water again, then the next day when it was completely dry I went under with a wire wheel on the end of my drill and got all the main areas and spots of rust left, then pressure washed with hot soap followed by hot water at the carwash, once it was dry I hit the underneath the while truck with rustoleum rust reformer and seal flat black, and then after it dried some I went over the top of that with rustoleum rust stop gloss enamel spray paint, both cans are only 5 bucks each and it's been 2 years now with no issues, but before each winter I go back underneath and touch it up in areas with the rustoleum stop rust gloss black enamel just to keep up on it, haven't had any problems and the maintenance on the following year was way less work then the initial prep and spray the first time. Plus it's way cheaper then por15 and that big air compressor in the video 😂 thanks so much for the videos! It's my first truck and I'm not a mechanic at all but I've watched your videos and been able to fix any problems I've had.

I grew up in the mountains of NM. I left in 1990 and haven’t been back. But at that time the state didn’t salt the highways and few of the cities did either. We had trucks from the 1940’s all the way through the 80’s that had almost no rust other than a light surface rust. Now I live near Cleveland. I’m so sick and tired of rusty vehicles. This looks like a good option. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve considered moving to the Carolina’s or other southern states just to get away from snow and rust. But alas… family and friends live up here. So selling a truck every 4-5 years is the easiest option.

Woolwax on that truck you loose alot of penetration capabilites. Also with it being thick, after re-application 3 years from now it will have so much build up you will have to steam wash the entire vehicle to re-apply otherwise it will be layered and surface bleed rust. You can do a honest review since you used the black, it dyes rust pores, of course it will look better.

Hey I used Waxoyl on my 89 K5 Blazer after giving it an extremely good cleaning. That was 15 years ago. No rusting as it was the day I first got it. It’s excellent product underbody and cavity wax. You heat or warm it up and spray. Now I recently used Woolwax on my new Ram.

Did you try getting up inside rear wells where arch or tub meets the outer bed in the rear wheel wells? Im putting more 3M cavity wax using their wands that work great in my 150 tomorrow, already did the rockers and used gorilla tape where the "factory" tape was, over 16 holes!!!

I've been applying FluidFilm to my F350 for over ten years. Bought her new in 2004, wish I knew of FF back then but yearly media blasting and paint touch ups kept her showroom new. Since the FF spraying once a year I haven't had to do much but hose it off after winter wait a few days to let it dry then reapply the FF. My only gripe is no matter what you use the bed wheel well lips WILL ROT AWAY EVENTUALLY Fords bed foam cant be stopped and no amount of used motor oil/fluid film or whatever else you use is gonna prevent body rot in that location. Last summer I did a complete passenger bed side replacement, and now the driver's side has started to bubble. Looks like neck spring I'll be doing that entire bed side and wheel house now

Also Ford doesn’t use much of a wheel liner in the rear. The 4x4 Dodge use a massive plastic liner in the rear. I’ve noticed at least on the older dodges the 4x4 gets them and the 2wd trucks do not.

I got my CUV under coated earlier this fall. My understanding is if you do clean the undercarriage don’t full pressure wash blast it - that includes the drive through washes that blast the undercarriage. I’m not going to touch the undercarriage unless it gets seriously gunked up until spring.

Didn't need to watch this because I've used it and it's great. Had my shop spray all the body cavities as well, all the underside including the exhaust, all around in the engine bay. Doesn't burn, stays "fluid", creeps into cracks and crevices, and sticks like heck. Every two years give the underside a recoat and that's it. All for $50 a gallon which will do all but the largest cars

Woolwax product, not baaaaaad! 😖 Brian, ScannerDanner just did a video of a F350 digital MAF showing 0V on SnapOn scanner after damaged harness repair. Everything works fine but the scanner showing 0V was a real red herring. Be cool if you could provide your input, thanks! Paul agrees!

I watched that video. The problem is aftermarket scan tools, even snap-on give false data quite often. It takes a good tech to know when the readings are impossible and to not go down the wrong rabbit hole. If you watched the whole video that particular MAF is a frequency based MAF which is not normal for a FORD product. The snap-on software isn't set up for Frequency MAFs on a FORD product.

Did you pull all the plugs and shoot in all the crevices when you did the original application? I just did a 2021GMC Acadia and took the outer wheel wells out and all the plugs, removed the wheels and protected all the brakes. It took about 5.5 hrs to do that, apply the material and then put everything back together. Maybe the best thing is to just watch your application video.

@my real name That surface shield works well and may very well be better than fluid film. So far it stays on splash areas better and doesn't wash off like fluid film. After a year the fluid film on my van stayed nice in areas that don't get a lot of water splash. It's still a good product for that but from now on I will be using Blaster for touch up.

So couple questions 🤔 For those of us that occasionally like to play on the dunes or go two tracking should we wait a certain period of time before doing so to allow the product to dry out? How much would the dirt or sand stick to it? How would it hold up to direct pressure washing? Thanks a bunch love the channel

Dirt or sand sticks to it in buckets. But how is that a problem? It holds up as well as any other grease to direct pressure washing from a household appliance - that is, it holds up well, unless you use detergent and apply mechanical force.

One of the local shops near me, complained about my undercoat. He says it's a mess to work on. He joked that I should be charged extra. He thinks it's a waste of money. I haven't been back, since those comments. I have been reading about Waxoyl. It's thicker and insanely popular in Europe.

I am here because I purchased 2 55 gallon barrels for composting and these barrels were used to contain woolwax. So I decided to check it out. The little bits left over in the barrels have a milky color to it. It seems to work really good but the only down side I see is it makes everything dirty. Imagine 10 years of applying woolwax once a year. So my question is how is it to work on a car that gets sprayed with woolwax? I would assume you must get really dirty from my experience cleaning out these barrels it is a pia to remove. You have use a solvent and a lot of it. In my opinion if you are going to service your rust once a year might as well use something that will dry so you have to deal with all that dirtyness when you work on the vehicle. If anyone has a counter to what I am saying please share.
