I started the video and for a second i thought you had a California plate and instantly thought "Hey, wait a second!" 😂 Then I went back and saw Maryland and now I can continue.
Just did FF on my 2014 Rubicon 2 door for its first winter. Brought it up from Georgia when I moved back to northern Michigan. Not going to miss out on snow wheeling.
I watched that project farms video and idk what old boy in the comments is talking about, fluid film was one of the better products from that test. this is gonna be my first year using it so ig ill find out
Yeahhh, I'm not too sure either lol. Everyone seems to have a pretty strong opinion on what product is best. Fluid film has been doing an excellent job on my vehicle! You'll be good to go!
This stuff is awesome. Especially if applied when the vehicle is new. However, for a used vehicle that has some rust already, I go to Krown first. That stuff creeps into the thinest of crevice's. Then every year after that go with fluid film! Imho
I live in finger lakes reigon of NY, now I'm not an expert by any means however my friend fluid filmed his 97 chevy for years and it seems to of worked ok so i tried it on my 04 trailblazer and it didn't help. The rust hit it hard that year. I now own a 2022 tacoma and plan to use Agriguard paint (its like POR-15 on steroids) on the entire underside with a layer of Slip Plate graphite overtop Not hating on flyid film its just my 2 experiences with it and im not too impressed.
Idk if you've owned this the whole life or most. I wonder if it blew a brake line where it's gooey as brake fluid destroys paint and there's a line right there. Maybe they caught it right away got it repaired and not cleaned perfectly. Now after a few years and fluid film preventing rust buildup behind the paint it's now gooey? Idk just a thought
Yeah that's a good thought. I did not buy the jeep new, so that is a possibility. The only reason why I didn't think this was the case is because it is in the exact same spot on both sides. Very strange! I am starting to think it's brake fluid from somewhere
@@BustedBeaters ah didn't realize both sides. Still a possibility though if they had to emergency stop or anything with bad lines. Wouldn't be the first I've heard of two lines on one vehicle going out
Unfortunately I do not know. The factory undercoating is starting to come off the bottom of my Jeep but I've been applying FF for the past 5 years. Not too sure how the undercoating would have held up without the coating.
Do you reapply throughout the winter, or just once a year every fall? Just bought a Grand Marquis from Georgia and want to keep her as clean and protected as possible from the PA salt. Already have an appointment scheduled to get the car fluid filmed, but just curious if I'll need another before the winter is over or if in your experience once a year is good enough
Mateo Freyo is correct. I just spray the jeep once a year every fall. I do keep a can of Fluid Film in the Jeep so I can touch up some areas such as the wheel wells that will be exposed to a lot of spraying water. I have never actually done a touch up though lol. In my experience once a year is plenty for most of the frame. If you were to recoat it twice over winter, I would just focus on the areas that would be most exposed to the elements (wheel wells, rear bumper, skid plates etc...)
@@BustedBeaters awesome thank you! Got my car done last week in Fluid Film black, so I'm excited to see how well it holds up through the winter and summer, and hoping it works as well for me as it did you and everyone else I've seen
The bottom of my jeep gets pretty dirty. I don't like the idea of stacking the fluid film on top of that dirt. A lot of people just cover the old stuff though
@BustedBeaters kinda pisses me off lol. I moved here from California and kinda wanted some real snow. Even bought a 4x4 Yukon bc we moved to a rural area that doesn't get plowed/sprayed very early/often, but we haven't had enough snow to even need 4wd lol.
@colbyjohnson3267 nah, that casting is more than strong enough. If you can bounce off rocks with it and it still be good to go, a gentle lifting of such a light vehicle will do absolutely nothing. Just look at the lifting points on unibody cars, it's folded over sheet metal, this is a thick casting and heavy welded axle tubes. Good to go.

Snow wheeling is a ton of fun! The FF should keep your Jeep safe!
I use fluid Film on my vehicle, it’s been doing a great job. Live in NY
New York is pretty tough on vehicles! Glad to hear yours is holding up well!
been using it twice a year for a long time and well...... the 2002 is still on the road.

Would be cool if you added a different pigment into the fluid film every year to count the old layers
That could be pretty interesting. My luck it would just turn the bottom of my Jeep a nasty shade of brown lol
Lookin good bro!
You need to use Fluid Film “Black” ,, thats what i use on my jeep and boy it makes the underneath look amazing 👍
I have considered going with the black. I bet it makes everything look new!
Very interesting man. A damn smart investment.... great work.

Looks like the FF is doing a good job. Curious if you've seen any sign of swelling in any rubber anywhere.
I have been applying it for 5 years and have not had any rubber swell as of now!
Thanks for the response!
Good video.
Will this stuff stain my new asphalt driveway if it drips or whem you power wash?
My driveway is pretry old but I haven't noticed any staining due to the Fluid Film
I want to know where he got that little short gun for the pressure washer? I want one!!
There's a link in the description to all the products I use!
Great job! 👍 already sub'd!
Appreciate that!

Would you recommend fluid film over existing surface rust and frame repairs thanks
I would. Based on my experience with Fluid Film, I think it'll substantially slow down the rust and make the metal last longer.
So if you take your car through the car wash does the fluid film get washed off from the chassis spray?
Not all of it will, but some may come off. I would recommend choosing a wash without the undercarriage spray
will fluid film damage my factory underseal its rubberized type but its from factory?
Unfortunately I do not know. The factory undercoating is starting to come off the bottom of my Jeep but I've been applying FF for the past 5 years. Not too sure how the undercoating would have held up without the coating.

Snow? Where the hell are you finding snow in MD? lol. I haven't seen any real snow since b4 I moved up 6ish years ago
Hahaha we have had some very mild winters!
@BustedBeaters kinda pisses me off lol. I moved here from California and kinda wanted some real snow. Even bought a 4x4 Yukon bc we moved to a rural area that doesn't get plowed/sprayed very early/often, but we haven't had enough snow to even need 4wd lol.
We have to be due for a good snow storm here soon. I feel like it's coming so hopefully you'll get to use that 4x4 soon!
Do you spray the ujoint
I do. I spray just about everything. I'm not too sure how much of it flings off though. Figure it can't hurt.
@@BustedBeaters thanks. That is what I was thinking as well
hey ya never see a rusty sheep
Not one! Lol
also its good for the skin
I hope you're right because I'm always covered in it!
It cloggs the pors and can be allergenic. Don't think it's medical grade lanolin
Never lift the jeep at the pumpkin.
Whys that?
@@BustedBeaters supposedly it can crack the case due to all the weight being on a small area, I've never seen it actually happen though
@colbyjohnson3267 nah, that casting is more than strong enough. If you can bounce off rocks with it and it still be good to go, a gentle lifting of such a light vehicle will do absolutely nothing.

@@BustedBeaters yah, nah, its fine to do that. if you can lift a vehicle by a pinch weld, you can lift it by the differential just fine
