Why it's important to make sure you have your oil based coating touched up every 12 months.

fluid film,woolwax or surface shield only....they all come in black now.....cant believe ziebart is still in business
I just dont drive the cars or truck I care about during the winter,, problem solved,, keep the pos for snow season... works like a champ
Can work still be done on parts that has the coating on it?
That only happens when you don't remove old rust and Flaky crap before you spray
They all look so pretty on the top side, nobody looks underneath, just bling bling and it’s sold.
Your thoughts on Boss Wax hard undercoating on new vehicles??
@thomasbartlett3409 we're not against it but in our experience we've never seen a wax that hasn't cracked peeled or failed within five years so we will not apply here. Works great on a vehicle that you're not driving in the winter but if it's a daily driver year round in the Northeast I would never advise
Looks like POR15
So how do you get this stuff off? I saw someone mention mineral spirits?
Once you have hard coat on you'll never have an optimal solution best you can do is descale off all the loose stuff as best you can and then use some type of wet base coating that will soak in
9:00 it will probably be in the junk ward way before 5 years because its a GM and the electrical gremlins will total it out.
lol.......Both NHOU and Northeast Rustproofing offer the big bucks rustproofing packages starting at. $3000 and up for hardwax/oil . Rustproofing is big business..
Those wax packages they do a great job but sorry won't last any longer than the factory wax 5 years and it's peeling and cracking everywhere we won't sell people on that better to descale old truck and oil it for less than a quarter of that price
Hi do you have a shop in Chicago?
Hi do you have a shop in Chicago?
Wool wax or fluid film. Lanolin only.
Terrible prep, this is what happens.
Someone needs to expose those scammers
I been starting to make mine all i used was bar & chain oil with paraffin wax melted in and sprayed on hot. But now i'm going to update the recipe to used motor oil, grease, Boiled Linseed Oil, paraffin wax and maybe a little diesel fuel to thin it if it needs it and will be hot sprayed on, hoping it comes out like a grease with a gummy shell on the outside when cooled and cured that would allow it to last a good long time before needing another coat.
That Zebart is Crap! I shoot mine with used oil,or old tranny fluid!!
Looks like they just sprayed black tar
I just got a ram with 8200 miles on it. Do you think hard coat or liquid? Frame still has the factory paint on it.
Ler me get this straight,you made this video in 2021 and the truck was coated 2 yrs. prior. That would mean the Silverado was already 11 yrs. old. How many miles were on the truck when it was done? Yes I agree it looks like a terrible job but 11 yrs. of wet,salty,and dirty conditions will have this affect on the bottom of any vehicle. As far as the "heavy" stuff hitting housing cases no big deal,not hurting anything. Touchy situation taking on a used vehicle. I put many yrs. in doing this type of work and personally I would have refused this job.
That's the whole point of the video other shops spray right over the rust!
Ziebarts tagline used to be..."ziebart...its us..or rust"
whats your opinion on cosmoline wax for undercoating?
Scumbags.
Is auto armor better than ziebart?
I can’t find anything near me in Wisconsin that does oil coating.
Not sure I would say ruined lol, shitty job yes
I just had my 23 Tacoma undercoated by LINE X Valugard 160 - did I make a mistake? guy from shop told me it's safe to drive right after the spray while it's a rainy day. My undercoat feels soft to touch which I think is wax material (is this safe?)
What part of county do you live in?
East Coast Tri State Area, I'm new to this undercoat stuff so I have so many questions but I thought normally you'd have to wait for the stuff to dry and cure before driving in the rain, but the shop told me it was fine to drive right after.@@steelcityoilundercoating6305
good video. What type of wet undercoating do you all use on used vehicles? I am researching what to use on my Sequoia and there are freaking like 10,000 products!
What a Joke you pay all this money for trucks and they rust like this like they can't put a coating on them from the factory so they don't rust but they won't because they want you to spend a ridiculous price on a new car or truck again in ten years when are people going to wake up and make theses over price car and truck manufacturers make a Quality car or truck that won't rust come on
GM got sued fur rust and somehow GM won.... Only some Russian cars rust worse than this...
Going to reapply NHUO which has given me results since it’s first and only apply 2 years ago
More like die barf
Are you guys local to W Pa? I had my '09 Silverado Ziebarted in 2021. Truck had only 16,000 miles at the time. Maybe I should bring it to you for an evaluation?
Yes we have two locations in Western Pennsylvania Steelcityundercoating.com
I think boiled linseed oil every other year is the way to go. It soaks into the rust then hardens to a thick gummy finish in 4-5 days. It's fairly cheap and safe, and you won't get filthy if you have to work under the truck.
It works but you have to steam wash it off every year that oil breaks down amd will mix with water
@@steelcityoilundercoating6305 It's really a just a slow drying polymer. It's old fashioned enamel paint binder without any pigment. It can mildew, but I've never seen that on a car in the midwest. Like any coat, any scale should be knocked off first.
Hard coat is the worst thing one could do to new or used. Oil coat is the only acceptable method. Ziebart is the absolute worst. Krown, NHOU...anything but hard, rubberized...very bad
Do you have thoughts on Line-X undercoatings?
Hard to answer you need to be specific there are hundreds of Line-X locations and they all offer different types of undercoating
OK I did not know that... do you know which ones work best for the undercoating for a new 4Runner. @@steelcityoilundercoating6305
@@steelcityoilundercoating6305 I found out from Line-X the product is called Valugard.
Im wire wheeling the pans on a 69 vw down to bare metal ( less than mm diameter scaling spots). Is a rubberized coating over primer going to hold up in your opinion or should i go a different route? Not looking for hiring, just a guy and his son son trying to keep the car around i rebuilt with my dad as a kid.
Rubberized coatings are pretty much the same thing as zeibarts coating any type of chip or tear in the coating it's game over for the metal your trying too protect. The fix is something that'll stay "wet" too the touch like fluid film or blaster surface shield so if theirs any chip it'll creep in and protect the metal. Even a wax based product works well too. Avoid any hardcoating product cause they ALL fail.
HA! Only one side of the drive shaft is sprayed! Your better off just spraying WD-40 all over everything
Well to the defensive of whatever dealership sprayed this the driveshaft doesn't matter that's just over spray. WD40 actually works great, but it washes off too fast.
Tidybart Zeibart is the best stuff ever. It will allow you to get rid of the rust. See. Look. No rust. Snark.
Penetrating oil, transmission fluid, and 80 w 90 gear oil. It absolutely stops rust period. It stays sticky from the gear oil and the pentrating oil makes it creep, the transmission fluid kills rust. Works like charm over serious rust.
Ziebart strikes again.....
Lmao I’d be driving my truck right through the business that’s ripped me off. And then I’d drag owner outside and make him look at the shite work he did. And then jiggle my money back out of his pockets 😂
If anything, that hack job just aspirated the problem. $800?! , i wouldn't let them touch my vehicle if they gave me $800.00. Very few honest shops out there.
You seem very biased and that truck is in great shape for and 08. That undercoating made it last but nothing is forever. It's time to be redone.
After it was descaled and the cover-up undercoating was removed it needed 2 frame sections a 1 crossmembers, which an outside shop did for a cost of $ would say that it did not hold up.
What do you think of Valugard?
Marine paint and good by to rust for ever.
Doesn't work that's why Marine Paint on boats needs re-done every year
Why exactly is this truck ruined? I understand it was done poorly, but I hate sensationalist titles THIS TRUCK IS RUINED! Who cares if there is over spray on the trans and exhaust? That doesn't ruin the truck, lol. It doesn't matter one bit to be honest. It sucks that they didn't do the proper prep work or do the tops of cross members, but nothing is ruined by what was done. It honestly is a joke that it's being said that this truck is ruined. these types of titles and narratives are exactly what turn me away from a channel. Be honest, show the poor workmanship. But don't try pushing some BS. Whatever holes are there were already probably there. Those frames are not that thin, you don't get a hole through 1/4 thick steel in 2 years.
Again it was sprayed on top of rust once this truck was descaled it needed 2 frame sections and one cross member, outside shop quoted 5500 please watch the other videos after the hard coat cover up was removed. The lift arm almost went through the truck!
You sound like liars. That vehicle looks amazing for being 13 years old. Stop trying to sell snake oil
Amazing as in it failed pa inspection and needed 5 spots areas welded? 👍
Tell me how your oil coating is not 10 times worse than any rubberization?
Obviously you didn't watch the video or have any common sense. Rubber undercoating hardens and peels turning the vehicle into a sponge long term.... Wet based coating doesn't dry so ĥas the same protection but cannot crack, peel or entrap. ..........
Rubberized is terrible. I use sandblaster on frames, and take it to clean metal and use a oil based bed liner on it,then go over that with clear pfc or fluid film. I'm gonna be honest, that's a 20 year old truck. I have a 2014 f150 here that's getting entire rocker panals replaced. This will be the 4th one I did. I do rust repair in meadville Pennsylvania. J smith mobile repair.
@@steelcityoilundercoating6305 I know that and agree. but I asked how oil is not worse because I've watched tests with oil being even worse. I hear you need heavily used. USED MOTOR oil and even then it sucks
I almost paid £1200 for a service like this for my '10 Jeep with lots of rust all over the underbody. I've stripped almost everything off the bottom of the truck and currently in the process of sanding and grinding everything back to bare metal, as part of a complete restoration. It's only after I started doing this properly that I truly realised how insanely pointless it would have been to pay someone to spray over the rust with some sort of hard coat.
use fluid film
Been using quality Bar and Chain oil for over 25 years up here in northern Vermont and it has served me well. I still drive a 1997 K1500 GMC suburban with a non compromised frame after all these years...Knowledge of application and being meticulous is key...
Yes bar oil works great we just couldn't do it as a business would be shut down by osha
