Since you’re in Florida you don’t want so coat it because fluid film type products are designed to stay wet and ooze to protect again salt and brine. Your easy way is to get under with a rust reformer and coat all rusted areas. Once dry use a good chassis paint. The better way would be to wire brush the rust, then use rust reformer then top coat a good chassis paint. To add additional protection use Adam’s polishes undercarriage. It will help keep everything clean and protected if applied properlyView attachment 466300
I just picked this 2019 up. I’m in Florida , it had one owner in Michigan . Can I do anything to seal or coat the tiny bits of rust I see ?
^^^^^^^^^^^ DITTO ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I just neva did the Adam's thing, not in TX,. But hey, down here, U get the rust always forming on exterior surfaces of rotors and on drive shaft, LOL. Not hurt ne thing. But yeah, wire brush. Blow off, wipe clean. And then wat ever yer choice is. Some use Rust Oleum, some Use reformer with a primer in paint, some use reformer than coat of paint. Kinda depends upon how much U wanna do. All a personal preference.Since you’re in Florida you don’t want so coat it because fluid film type products are designed to stay wet and ooze to protect again salt and brine.

They have rust paint just for suspensions, the reason it is for suspensions is because they don't do great in the sun shine, nothing better then suspension rust paints, you just paint over the rust. You may want to wash the salt off with some ramps, then use por 15 or chassis saver. POR15 a little easier to worth with, goes on like cream cheese a little thinner then that but similar, chassis saver more like water, pretty thin. But both work perfect. Both make your old rust part of the coating, no lie. Great for your world, if it is on the salt belt I'd rather fluid film it, but for the sun belt por15 way to go. Maybe rustoleum type product is easier with a spray, but it wont have the same coat. I'd buy a sample size por15 they sell that and compare.
My old heap..
Looks Great, I used POR15 on my 64 hot rod truck project in the past, never really thought about it on a new truck!

Thanks Guys! It was funny, I have an older jeep and always look for rust on them. I didn't run the car fax on the ram until after I got home and saw MI. lol
