Fellow salt-belt resident here- if you’re going to do this every year, get it in gallon or 5 gallon quantities. It’s helpful to have the 360° hose for the rattle cans, because you can get it into really hard to reach places. When you buy the kit with the gallon size or larger, you’ll get a 360° wand and a flexible extension. Places like the frame interior, A-pillars, rocker panels, and other protected places won’t receive a lot of roads spray and could be done maybe every other year. I do my exposed areas on my jeeps (floor pans and wheel wells) every fall while it’s still warm, Sometimes a dry day in the middle of winter I’ll go back and reapply it where needed. Doesn’t take too long. The initial application, however does take some time if you want to do it correctly.👍🏻
Good tip! I did go back and do the wheel wells after this video. Especially where the flares meet the body. I will look into getting the hose. Filled the tailgate on my old truck. No need on this one- it’s aluminum. Still planning to have the floor in the cab done and the doors filled. Thanks for watching!
@@venomrebel2020 i put regular fluid film on my 2004 silverado it was super clean truck took the paint off and ruined all the rubber underneath control arm bushings and bodymount bushings worked decent on the floor pans bought the whole gallon and brushed on thick you might want to check all your rubber under your truck
Alright I’ll try to give some insight since I’ve been doing this for a while. I’ve got a 2015 with less rust than that and I’m in MA so they spray that car killer down every winter here too unfortunately. Invest in the full “pro” kit they sell for fluid film, you’ll need an air compressor but all in you’ll have yourself paid back with 2 applications. Also I now use “woolwax” made by the same people but more for undercarriages. It dries much thicker and almost creates like a waxy surface like the garbage they use in GM truck frames. Also when you use the kit you want to keep the bottles you have full of woolwax hot. I’ll take hot water and dump it in a cooler and put all my containers in it to really thin out the fluidfilm/woolwax, helps spraying it a ton. Lastly I like to do this around right now. I did mine today actually but you want to do it while there will still be a couple warm days. The “creeping” these products do won’t really happen if it’s cold. Woolwax also lasts way longer, fluid film was always gone in high wash areas in early spring, not the woolwax. Also doesn’t smell like sh** lol
Good information. The FF Black is considered a wool-wax. I’ve been impressed with it. I did not know about the temperature situation. Thanks for taking the time to relay your expertise.
Or you can do like I do, I live in Northern Indiana right in the middle of the rust belt and I just park my good vehicle (Toyota forerunner)in the garage all winter and drive the winter beater(jeep grand cherokee). No matter how good you spray under there that salt is still going to find its way into every nook and cranny.
I bought the truck gently used, so I'm not sure if that was applied or not. It came from up north. Way up north, so... maybe? I would appreciate any info you have on a Mopar undercoating product.
You must be in North East ohio. Summit racing and the oil guy? Is it goods oil coating? So far i prefer cosmoline but im gonna experiment a little with fluid film on abother vehicle.
@@venomrebel2020 LOL oh I know it is. Grandmother lives in Pittsburgh. She has an 06 Explorer that spent it's whole life in Denver up until 2015. Not one spec of rust underneath. She gets it undercoated with Krown
Why take it to a guy when you’re already doing it? Just keep at at. You can also get a compressor gun and buy the stuff much cheaper by the gallon and go to town.
$60 to have him spray everything. Fills and plugs the doors. Fills the rockers. Not bad considering how messy it is. I am probably going to keep emptying aerosol cans every spring. Rust never sleeps.

@@davehendrix671 no kidding. I’ll have a look
Get inside the rockers, doors and wheel wells. Nice truck👍🏻
Right on brother - thanks for watching
Yeah what this guy said, you’ll need to buy the hose they sell for the cans for it off Amazon

The drive shaft is just gonna sling that stuff right off. Corroseal would be a great alternative. 👍👍
I will look into it. Thanks!
once it dries it oughta stay put, no?
@@viewer54322 Fluid film black is a wool wax. It never dries. Regular fluid film is lanolin based and it doesn’t dry either.
@@venomrebel2020 black is lanolin based with a carbon dye. Same as original
That truck has tons of rust compared to my 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500hd which looks new underneath still from applying fluid film/woolwax all the time.
Sounds like we’re on the right track! Thanks for watching
How often you apply in the winter?
What’s the advantage of spraying Black fluid film v/s regular FF? Does the black one has better protection ?
The regular sure looks less messy.
I think they’re the same honestly. However, Venom is partial to stuff that’s black 🕷🕷🕷🕷
I see the spraying distance is not respected (that is why bubbles form) and that will impact quality of coating
👍
How does it smell? Im planing to use the black one too but unsure of the smell
Not bad. Oily, I guess? Not like paint. I actually like it when it gets on the exhaust and heats up. Call me weird.

I would love to buy an old Jeep as snow/mud beater.
Did you go with the mopar wax undercoating when you purchased new?

You must I've in a state that applies salt in the winter. Kind of crazy a 2020 is rusting underneath all ready
Rust belt problems my friend.

Yes hahaha... Got me! Thanks for dropping a note man ✌️
That truck is a 2020 with that much rust?
Yessir. The Rust Belt is a thing I guess 🤷🏻♂️

What is that spaghetti birds nest of wires conned in there at 5:04?!
2 sets of cheap rock lights 🤣
Ohio man I tell ya! It's bad enough to make you want to move south after buying a new vehicle
Yeah but at least it’s not Michigan lol O-H
I did New York to South Carolina. Losing the liberal politicians also was a benefit
Your not supposed to spray rubber parts or wires hose ECT...
More pics of the rims from th side..
Thanks for watching! Here’s another video with the rims ua-cam.com/video/4ep8Mpg7lCo/v-deo.html and my IG is venomrebel2020. Thanks dude!
Dude, you used like a full can on one small area.
Smoke em if ya got em, am I right? 😅
That is so disrespectful rust on a 2020
