Nice....your rig not showing its age at all.

Thanks, it warmed But it has some "age spots" thanks to the road salt

Gotta do mine soon, I find the product creeps better when applied while its still warm out. Also have to do my daily for the first time so that's gonna be fun lol.

This is the annual friendly reminder to get some kind of protection on your trucks before the salt gets thrown on the roads. New trucks are expensive, keep yours from rotting out by applying Fluid Film/WoolWax/NHOU/etc

Rust check was on sale, 3 cans sprayed on frame today. The stuff in green can is thick!

Finishing up the FF on my truck this weekend. All that is left is spraying the underbody, inside frame rails and inside rockers ( dont forget there are 2 sides to them)

Already did inside:
Front Fenders
Hood
Door pillars
Cab corners
Tail gate

Edit: forgot to mention inside all the doors are done too. Im a **** ding….or is it ding ****….

And apparently you can not say the word

G
Anymore. Man this world is woke beyond belief

See how much if my 5 gallon bucket of FF I have left but I may cut it a bit with soy oil.

Don't forget to take off the tail lights and spray both the inner & outer panels internally.

Oh dang!

Been spraying my truck for 8 years now and have never done that.

Yep I do that and stick the 360 wand up in there from underneath on bith sides. I don't want wheel well rot lol

 

[U&A]

Figure id share a bit.

And the rear tail light area. I realized I have been spraying that all along but up through the hole the wire harness goes thru (under the truck) so I am good there.

Cant list all the holes I stick my 360 straw in. But if it is a hole and it fits…..well use your imagination.

Wow GREAT info!!

Funny you should mention the bottom of the fenders as I just found this yesterday on my truck. Probably a good 1/4" of caked mud at the bottom of the fender. Thankfully it was Fluid Film/Wool Wax soaked mud but still good to get it out of there and apply some fresh FF/WW.

Setup a test for the creeping and wash away properties of Fluid Film, WoolWax, and NHOU.

For reference this is taking my finger and dabbing it on the back frame of my camper. It isn't exposed directly to the weather but it isn't protected either. Figured it was a good spot to test.

I find it interesting that it is way more of a liquid than FF but is said to stay in place longer.

Really appreciate the test. Im going to try to remember to call them tomorrow and ask how compatible it is with rubber and plastic.

Thank you Corey!

If this all pans out im switching away from FF.

24hr update, I think we have a winner...

Reminds me of a penetrating oil the way it creeps. And you said it is dang near the viscosity of gear oil? Or slightly thicker?

Cant wait to see the “wash away” test

Thank you so much. Im already rooting for NHOU

Easy name to remember too LOL

New Hampshire Oil Undercoating

Id prefer to have a much thinner product for the inside of things. You can often see how FF will gel up sometimes in the door or rocker drain holes. That makes me go insane thinking about the gelling.

Id rather it leave a light residue on the INSIDE of things and just do a light spray once a year

And the way that creeps. Id use it inside my frame rails too over FF

Just had an argument with the wife about the word “gelling”

Is it gelling
Jelling
jellying
PB&Jing…?

It's gelled, or gelling when referring to fuels, oils, lubricants, ect.
