Rust Proofing ?

Just curious on if after market rustproofing is needed or is it done at the factory! Thanks

If your in a snow state you may want to spray fluid film on, or similar.

Power wash it once a week/once cleanup is done after each snowfall. Save a few $.

Thanks, Fluid film will be done in a few weeks,, I was curious if the factory rustproofs the rockers etc like back in the day when you really did not need to Zeibart your car/truck

IMO you would be better off going with LPS 3, I just did mine last week. I did lots of reading on FF v. LPS 3 and found a couple of tests people did with similar results. Here is one I bookmarked:
Protective spray??? - Page 2

The main issue for me is that FF will wash off, LPS 3 will not. The crap they use on the Maine roads is so nasty I hit the car wash weekly, FF would not last long on my truck. LPS 3 (according to what I've read) should last 2-3 years. I got mine on eBay from a vendor called Zoro.

If you go with LPS 3 make sure the product is warm when applied, do in a heated garage with some ventilation and wear gloves. It's basically a wax coating (when dry) and cleanup requires a solvent.

Good luck!

That stuff looks better.

I do not drive mine in the winter or summer if rain is in the forecast so I do not need rustproofing service, if I did drive in the winter I would use Krown personally, great stuff. Good luck.
