Ive done my own truck now for 8 years it takes me about 3 hours. I use fluid film in the rocker panels and up in the front fenders and a similar product to what you used for underneath. Its survived 10 canadian winters and 225,000+ miles now with no rust totally worth getting filthy and 3 hours of time once per year from my experience. First 2 years I took it to a shop and yeah i noticed the lipstick job you talked about so started doing it myself. Thanks for the video I picked up some stuff like that long flexible tip for getting into tight spots that are a pain.
Rocker boxes are the first to go so everyone needs to plaster those with a vengeance till it drips. The same goes for door bottoms . Plug those slop plenty in and the drain in a half hour. I’ve done this on an old GM and it works splendidly just using chainsaw oil , cheap Vaseline and used transmission oil👍🏻. You can make your own spray tips using scrap copper tubing driller / pinched to your needs.

I still have a 95 Toyota Pickup because my father had it sprayed with RustStop every year from 1995 until he died 19 years later. Oil stops steel from rusting. It's not complicated. Long ago I had a landlord who shot old motor oil under his pickup every fall. Old farmer's trick. It works.
No way! We just pulled a box side on an '11 chevy 2500 (accident). It had Ruststop applied years back . I was blown away at the condition of the truck . No rust , none, nada . The truck lives in NE Pennsylvania . I want to try the product in this video , the guy in the video did a great job .
Looks good OP. The only thing I'd change is to wear a mask for painting, such as a respirator with cartridges. That cloth mask is not going to keep the bad stuff out of your lungs any more than it can keep a virus out.
A coronavirus virion (particle) is spherical, averaging around 125 nanometers in diameter. Compare that to bacteria's 1,000-nm size. It's a grape compared to a grapefruit. A surgical mask whose purpose is to block bacteria will do little to prevent passage of the smaller coronavirus particle. Imagine that little dust mask or rag. Joke, Dr Fauci, big joke!
Nice to see someone who cares about the quality of his work and the customers he provides for. Thanks for showing us how it should be done. No doubt you run a 1st class shop.
Half the battle in undercoating is the application, and this is the gold standard. You won't get this kind of attention to detail from the chains. I also agree if you get this done, avoid the undercarriage blast during the winter.
I live in aroostook county , What works for me is a mix of wheel bearing grease and laquer thinner , I have a dedicated spray gun for that , The thinner evaporates and a thin layer of grease is left behind , Every two years no problems so far.
I love aroostook county, beautiful potato fields, but most of the vehicles up there older than a decade are pretty much destroyed. I spoke to a guy who had his truck for 20 years, when I asked him how he kept it so long, he said he used old motor oil then would drive on a dirt road to kick the dirt up onto the oil and keep it there! Awesome idea but a lot of oil ends up in the road. Glad to see another “Maina”.
I have my vehicles done in Michigan with another competitor. The shop has two people spraying. They also remove taillights in trucks and jeeps to spray. They do drill four holes to get in cab corners snd rockers. They use the long wand to spray into fenders and hood. I have it done yearly. Is thinner than your product and isn't Fluid Film. Does a nice job of protection. Bottom line as you say. It saves the vehicle. Nice video and information for folks that don't know.
Here in Northern NYS I use a place that pulls the taillights, inner fenders and drills small holes in bottom of the doors,rocker panels and cab corners. When they are done they plug the holes with rubber plugs. They also do under the hood where it needs it. This is on my 08 dodge ram 3500 crew cab with 8 foot bed. All under $ 200. And I've checked to be sure it was done so it's not just a wide cover spray.
I use to sell cars up in Cleveland Ohio back in the 1970s and they used a product called "BodyGuard" Rust Proofing. It was a milky creamy colored product, and the dealership I worked with did just like you are doing. they put the product into every possible area, EVERY POSSIBLE AREA. When they were done, the car had to set for several hours to allow the excess product to drip out of the panels before we were allowed to deliver the car to the customer. Good job man.
I am from Quebec, Canada and i get my cars sprayed yearly the first few years and sprayed when needed the rest of its life. We also spray the inside of the doors trough the drain holes, hood , trunk lid and inner quarter panels / wheel arch in the trunk. We remove all the plastic from the under belly to spray evenly. Started that in 1998 on my GMC pickup and never had rust issues on all my cars since, i keep them for 8 to 10 years. You did a great job on the Jeep.
That's interesting, I'm in Manitoba and this is NOT a thing out here. Although it should be. I knew a feller that moved here from New Brunswick a few years ago and he was shocked that he couldn't find anyone to do this to his vehicle out here. I bought a 2012 Chevy 2500 new, and the rear quarters rusted through in 5 years. I sure wish I knew about this years ago.
Good job fellas! I’m just up above you’s in New Brunswick, Canada. Been using Fluid Film in the same application manner you showed here on my 2000 4 Runner for the last 16 years . Still looks like new! Been offered ridiculous money for it…. Not for sale!!!!
I get a large vaseline and equivalent portion of paraffin wax melt them and mix them 2 liter with kerosene or diesel then spray the underside. This mix will solidify enough that water wont wash it away. And if it gets brushed off it will heal it self during warm weather by melting just enough to recover the surrounding place👍.
@@wsbill14224 well its cheap and it's been more than 18 months still holding. It got weaker in some spots where constant blast of road debris like front of diff axle and wheel wells. But still water proof. I will reapply it since its easy and cheap to make.
A couple years ago, I went to a big name location and had my Dually done. It took a couple hours to get it done and it was dripping when it came out. I went back there again last year, and no joke, by the time I had the bill paid, it was sitting in the yard, "COMPLETED"! I think I'm changing locations this year and wish I lived closer to you guys!! The way you do it and put in so much extra effort, I'd GLADLY pay you the extra money and for sure be returning! Your customers are EXTREMELY lucky!!! CHEERS!!
I love it how you guys don't cut corners. It's just a blessing to see people take their time and do things right for once. Why do it at all if you don't do it right the first time.... right??? Good job guys keep up the good work. I've seen a couple of videos like this but I watch yours cuz you're very very thorough....👍👍👍👍
Here on Long Island, NY (Very similar weather) we have a mobile guy called "Rust-Stop Pro" who uses NH Oil. He has all the attachments and wears a full plastic body suit with a respirator and everything. He did a fantastic and thorough job on my 2018 F150. Very happy with the product so far. The only thing was that clear mouse-out he used in the engine bay area has a strong chemical/peppermint smell that took like a month to finally start to fade away. But the undercoating absorbed road debris and dirt which thickened it up, and everything has a nice matte black appearance. Looks so much better and so happy with the piece of mind it gives me after seeing my Dad's 2008 F150 rot out so badly. Looks the same after like 10 months and I feel like it will last at least 2 years or more...
@@ddoperations2768 that sounds great… till you have to work underneath it. Your eyes will get filled with dirt the second you lightly brush anything lol
@@MikeOrazzi Don't let the EPA find out because they'll fine you. The undercoating products they allow like Fluid-Film are not petroleum based. They are usually lanolin based which comes from sheep's wool so it's environmentally safe. Used motor oil is not considered environmentally safe and the EPA will claim you are contaminating the environment as that used oil comes off your truck over time.
I use used oil pork lard and 4 tubes of black lithium grease put on a small pot on a little electric stove and I’m still driving my 2001 Chevy Silverado 3500 in the Midwest Indiana and Illinois weather
Here in Montreal about 150$. The shops that specialize will have 4 guys on one vehicle. I do it every two years. Last F150 was mint underneath after 8 salty Canadian winters.
I live in western PA and they salt the shit out of the roads here when we get winter weather,i spray with used oil every fall Religiously, the reason why i spray with used oil is because im cheap,but it works,great tips in this video❤
I grew up in a Body Shop welding patches. We undercoated/oil sprayed our repairs with Transmission Fluid, we used it because it had no aggressive chemicals in it. Never had a vehicle come back.
My dads friend taught me years ago in Michigan. Clean the underside of your truck cleaner than it deserves to be. Put on rubber gloves, and apply grease to the underside by hand 👌
Good job! I have found high temp wood stove chimney paint on exhaust has stopped any rust for about 6 years now. Another coat should last another 6 years. I used a commercial body coating ???? years ago in UK which GUARANTEED no rust for 7 years and another 7 year guarantee if repeat coated before previous guarantee ran out; Had a parked van side swiped and body shop re coated new and old damage repair to maintain guarantee, eventually product was unavailable!!
I just use a tiny drill bit and drill a hole in the front side of my valve cover gasket, it drips down everywhere and blows backwards at 80 mph. It completely covered everything under the vehicle and keeps oxygen and water off of the bottom of the vehicle. Zero rust can be found under my car. And I only use the water resistant oil. Sometimes it seems as though the brakes aren’t strong enough but I just keep pushing and is burns of the unwanted residue from the disc.
I’m also in NH and I’ve been using different types of rust preventatives for 30 years. I think the age of the vehicle depends on what you use. For example if it’s a new or newer vehicle, just a few years old with very minor surface rust, there is no reason to spray oil and then have to deal with the maintenance and the mess for years. Instead, use cosmoline wax. It will provide the same rust protection as the oil without the mess. If it’s 10 years old and it’s starting to flake then yeah use the oil. Just keep in mind once you use the oil there’s no going back to the wax. Also keep in mind you should not oil spray a new GM frame. The GM frame comes from factory with wax. If you spray it will ruin the coating of the frame.
They offer a wax line as well for new vehicles, as long as it’s not applied heavily it holds up on the gm frames, or you can wait a couple years and the wax will fall off and rust anyway 😂
Anybody in Maine is awesome in my book!! Have daughter son in law and atm two grandkids in Cutler!!! I picked up a 2012 GMC 2500HD that is nearly rust free (quite a find in upstate NY)) and plan to spray it hopefully before the salt hits the roads!! Thanks, great video!! Maine ROCKS!!!
Damn man, I paid $140 cdn at a big name franchise here in Toronto. They did it in 15 minutes. I would definitely pay your price for this work if you were local. Great job. Subbed.
Sadly a lot of places do a poor job and miss many spots under the car. They miss the fender lips, forget to spray in the boxed in sections and so on. If possible, watch them do the job. I use Corrosion Free applied at Canadian Tire and really watch the fellow applying it. Every year! We have a 24-year old truck that looks like new under neath still having done it!
On my brand new rigs I'll paint under it first and then I do what the old farmers used to do. Change the oil, save it, add some diesel, pull the tires off and spray it on with an old cup gun at 100psi. And.... getting it in the nooks and crannies is a very proper explanation 👍. It works excellent on fence posts too.
Hot used oil and graphite mixed together. I spray inside the frame rails first then inside the rocker panels working my way out from under the vehicle. Then from the lower panels up and under the hood. Spraying inside the tops of the fenders and down the cowl post. And inside the doors. After spraying it i also drive it down a dirt road ( if i can find one ) then park it for a day and let it drip dry. This is what i have done for years and have had no rust issues to speek of. My current truck is a 99 ram and it has been in the N E Ohio aria for 4 years of daily driving. Still no rust. Even the commonly known rust arias are clean.
I take a multi pronged approach. Annual late summer professional application of krown by a reputable applicator. Regular touch ups with fluid film whenever I am working on anything on the truck.
Just got my 2012 Escape done by a new shop with an awesome owner I found here in SE Michigan. I had it done by a different shop (they no longer apply it) in '21, '22 and skipped last year but decided to get another coating before the crap weather hits eventually. This guy took off the spare and hit that and also removed my tail lights and got all under those areas as well as the other areas you hit for the Jeep. Immediately after leaving the shop, I drove up and down a dirt road to start coating the NHOU with all the dust I could! Next year, this guy said to bring in my Escape and he'd put it up and evaluate (for free) whether or not it needed another coat or I could skip until Fall 2026. Wish he offered the free tire rotation like you do, superb idea! Great video, BTW.
@@paulcoenen7918 This guy charges by three general sizes of vehicles, basically small, medium and large. My Escape ( a medium-sized SUV) would've been $200 for an initial application. I believe a car and/or small SUV would be a little less than that and a larger SUV/truck would be more. I did not ask his price points for something smaller than my Escape or something larger. Since my Escape had two previous coatings, he charged me a $150 re-coating fee, not the $200. He even hit some more spots than the original guys that did my Escape in '21 and '22 but still just charged me $150. The same goes for a smaller or a larger job, ergo the re-coating fee is about $50 less than the initial application fee. As above in my post, I will be returning this time every year for a free eval to see if it needs it again or if he thinks I can skip a year. All subsequent re-coatings for my (medium) SUV will be $150.
@cryogenickid4159 That sounds Dirt Cheap for a valuable service. I have done this to my own trucks and its a big job especially working from the ground 🙃
@@paulcoenen7918 The shop in Ohio who did my initial '21 application charged $250 cash, and their re-coat fee in '22 was $200, so yes this guy is a great deal any way you look at it...and he's more thorough as stated above. He schedules no more than four appointments per day so he doesn't have to feel as if he's rushing through any job either.
My great uncle showed me a trick. A mix of engine oil and diesel fuel. His 82 F-150 looked brand new yet. But he did get it repainted. Zero rust though, all original panels. Repaint was done in 95, if I remember correctly. It has kept wy newer vehicles rust free. I live in Wisconsin. Heavy salt and bitter cold temperatures!
I lived in Arizona Desert my whole life rust free BUT I went to that Flagstaff Arizona and they do have to deal with salt rust..... but Desert life is BEST....
Great video, I was introduced to NHOU years ago, I have a 2010 Tundra that has been oiled every year since it had about 40k miles, first one I did I removed spare tire/skid plates, all plastic wheel well covers etc. to make sure every piece of metal would get coated, that was at the original shop where it all started, now I go to the main shop, not a single spot of rust and the fact that it’s a Toyota is impressive. One thing you forgot to mention is that this stuff actually creeps and seeks out rust. Best of luck with your shop, keep up with the videos and you’ll have more business than you can handle with this stuff.
You guys do an excellent job … l love this product it’s made a big difference on a few of my trucks over the years Thanks for doing what you do excellent work!
Dude, my 2003 Silverado automatically changes its oil and undercoats itself. I call it the Chevrolet Valdez. It's like it lubricates the highway, so people's tires will last longer! It even coats my trailer some. Thank you, General Motors.
First off I love in Western Canada. Yes, you can say this is the Rust Belt and it covers three coasts. I have a 2008 F350. I've heard everything there is to say about these trucks. It's now 2024. For 6 years I have used trans oil just soak it down. Take the tires and brakes off no calipers no routers. Every two years. Just power wash it down let it dry for a couple of weeks driving in the dry weather spray the trans fluid all over the undercarriage and let it drip for two years do it all over. No breaks no tires. Metal only
i did fluid film the first 2 years i owed my truck its a great product but i couldn’t stand the smell and it was definitely a lot thinner. I switched to NHOU the past 2 years and i couldn’t be happier!
I have been using Blaster Surface Shield on my Toyota 4 runner on exposed metal and Fluid Film with spray wand inside frame. Very happy with both products.
When I moved from Texas to MI, I started using Fluid film on my 06 Silverado. After 140k miles here in MI and going on 8 winters. That truck still hasn't rusted out. Oil protects metal from rusting.
A guy I worked with had an old dodge with over 300k miles and no rust on the frame. This is a NY truck so it sees lots of salt. Every year he would go to the Walmart parking lot with a sprayer mixed with diesel fuel and oil I think it was mostly oil but the diesel made it thin enough to spray he didn’t give me the recipe but offered to spray my truck too. He would spray the entire underside of his truck then let it run and smoke while he walked away so nobody thought it was his. When it was done smoking he would go home. Once a year and this 12-15 year old truck had no rust. I didn’t believe him at first but later found out it was true.
Informative and well done. It’s great to see a shop that pays attention to detail and not take short cuts for a better profit. I live in Pa but would be willing to make the trip to use your expertise.
I use a gallon of 30w bar and chain oil mixed with a tube of Lucas red tacky grease heated up in a crockpot ratio ! Spray it on hot and when cool it sticks on nice 😜
My grandfather on my mother's side, worked for a sand and stone company for many years. He drove an old Chevy dump truck built in 1975. It was oil sprayed annually and he drove it for decades until the old diesel engine died. They put an old school bus engine in it and he drove it until he retired a few years ago. The company eventually retired the dump truck for one reason or another. Oil spray undercoating of any kind is life, especially in the rust belt of Canada. My family lives in Newfoundland where roads are either just salted or salt and sand.
I wish I had known about this when I used to live in northern Illinois around Waukegan many years ago. I shared this video on X so it might help those who live in that part of the country where salt on the roads in winter does a lot of vehicle damage over time.
I use a product in Canada called Krown. It is applied every year and is an oil that coats thoroughly and creeps everywhere. Yes, it is messy, but my 2008 Ranger has NO rust on the frame or any of the body panels. Mechanics don't like working underneath, but I have seen what coatings like Ziebart can do to the frame of a Jeep.
I second using Krown. They heat the oil up prior to spraying and use strategic holes to gain access to the most troubling area of cars and trucks. Drips for a day or two after application but well worth it IMO
Got my truck done todayKrown took the tail light off sprayed in the panel with a long attachment and got in the wheel wells and plugs all over areas of truck 4 years in a row No rust yet
A history lesson: For decades long ago, the savvy mechanics would spray the undercarriage with old crankcase oil - some even heated it so it would wick into crevices - they noticed that there was never rust where oil leaks (or which were common) made a surrounding mess. In the 70's there was one product: Kendall's KendCoat 60 - it was specifically called out by many industrial uses, it was discontinued but Chevron Marine Rust Proof Compound L was the next reincarnation, but Chevron quit supplying this to North America; Michigan Petroleum Technologies had fleet customers that strongly wanted it so they developed their own "... Compound L." All of these were amber and similar to a whipped cake icing. Fortunately this technology is now everywhere. It's really annoying that the vast majority of automotive repair shops don't give a complimentary spray can shot of Fluid Film or Rust Shield in areas that are starting to rust. Especially when it would be good for business: people would keep their cars longer resulting in more repairs!
Nifty video, thanks for posting. How rough is this product on rubber bits? One of the upsides of the lanolin products is that they are supposed to not hurt rubber bits: bushings, boots, etc. I read this is mineral oil based, so I gotta wonder...
I’d gladly replace some bushings with such , it’s a lot cheaper than frame repair or another truck. . It’s too late for my 09 GMC but I keep it on the road. Mine had the rubbery coating on it wasn’t the best option.
Oil does break down rubber over time. But I would imagine this would not cause the breakdown like a oil leak would. I guess the question is would you rather replace cheap mounts every 7 to 10 years, or a whole new car.
Been doing my Toyota Prado (19 years old now and still rust free) and Subaru Forester like this for years, paying particular attention to all cavities including doors sills etc. I go one up and smear the outside of the chassis and high wear exposed areas such as the bodyshell inner sills with marine grease. I don't have spray equipment at home so twice a year get the vehicle up on 4 ramps give the whole underbody a blast over with ACF50, i like this product because its very thin and gets into all the different height sensors etc which are also prone to salt water ingress and penetrates into through bolts and such so when you need to undo something it comes undone instead of snapping off, plus it doesn't effect rubber bushes etc. Salt is used extensively in England too, they put it down for no reason at all most of the time. Whatever you do its better than doing nothing, which is what most people do. Good job you fellers are doing, well done.
I might have missed what you do with the internal places on the doors, hood and trunk lid. I've had my 2013 Dodge Charger SXT every year since 2013 and still have no rust on it. Odometer reads 204261 km today. I live on the shore of Lake Huron in Ontario. The salt mine in Goderich supplies a lot of the road salt they use. I've had Krown Rust Protection done and am satisfied with it. I really like what you are doing and how you are doing it. I'm sure your customers have peace of mind about the excellent job you do.
I live out in Idaho. This practice isn't very common but it should be. We get a ton of snow thus salt on the roads. Just bought a 2002 gmc denali in great shape but the underside is rusty AF. Didn't think to check it as I grew up in GA where this wasn't an issue. Definitely going to do this to it and hope that stops it from getting worse. The vehicle has at least another 150k miles it can go if it doesn't rust out. Thanks for the great video!
I live in the rustbelt here in Ontario Canada where we have brutal winters with a ton of road salt. We have an oil based spray called Krown and it's Canada's Number 1 Rust proofing and they have been around since the 1980's. They guarantee no rust and will fix any that occurs if you have used the product since the car was new (or under 2 years old with less than 48,000km) on it. My van that was 22 years old had 0 rust on it when it went to the scrap yard with 500K on the odometer. It made me a believer. You can buy the cans of their product in the US and Canada and do the application yourself. It's a non-toxic environmentally high zinc oil that creeps and then produces a self-healing barrier. It eventually dries in place after the first month but it will drip like crazy for the first week. You need it to creep so it can get into the seems of welds and folded metal. If it doesn't drip, it can't creep and doesn't work. They have videos on their web page talking about it all. Krown Rust Control. New Hampshire would be my second choice. My brother lives in Boston and that is what he uses because he doesn't want to do the application himself and his Mechanic does the New Hampshire treatment. All rubbers should be sprayed with a 100% silicone spray first to keep them from absorbing the oil products and causing them to deteriorate with time, no matter what product you use. In the Krown treatment shops here, they start by treating all the rubber on your car like the door seals etc. with 100% Silicone spray.
My wife used to work for krown rust proofing for a number of years and sadly it has become big business for most of the franchises. Putting cars and trucks through every 15 minutes as they have to meet a quota. I ended up replacing my rubber motor mounts as the Krown turned them to mush. It also washes off easily underneath. I finally switched to a product called Corrosion Free and it's is so much better than Krown. It won't rot the rubber either. You can buy it in pails and do it yourself.
@@condoguy810 That's unfortunate, I've never had this problem with rubber turning to mush. I've always had a thorough application as well. I'd love to apply it myself but I can't because of walking impairments due to a spina cord injury. I have seen the corrosion free test results and it is good stuff but the problem is trying to find somewhere that isn't Canadian Tire that applies it because those folks don't give a damn about your vehicle and won't do it properly. At least with Krown they are annually certified. I would have complained to Krown head office, maybe your facility wasn't doing it properly or using the proper stuff. I don't know. I know their customer service is excellent at head office because I called to compliment a facility and they were great.
What a crock of shit. First of all krown is not Canada's number one rust proofing company. You need to educate yourself on that kid. They are one of the worst products to use. Yes they will repel rust but the company itself focuses on profit over protection. They don't spray most of the cavities inside your vehicle where salt water can accumulate. And the ones they do spray they tend to drill holes to be able to insert their plugs instead of pulling the factory plug right next to the hole they drill. So they're making unnecessary holes in your vehicle. Which down the road you can actually see these new holes drilled end up rusting out around their plugs. Krown is also known for dripping a lot when first applied. This is easily seen when you drive into the driveway of any krown dealer. You'll see us continuous dark path leading from their bays out onto the street. You want the job done properly. You get a qualified guy that does fluid film. Much better. Product lasts longer and these guys actually spray inside of all the vehicle cavities using factory openings, no need unnecessary holes being drilled.
@@jasonmorehouse3756 You sir have no idea what you are talking about. YOU NEED TO EDUCATE YOURSELF before you go shooting your mouth off about what you don’t know about. They have been around since the 1980s and have over 500 locations coast to coast servicing approximately 40,000 vehicles annually with a warranty that is backed up for the lifetime you own the vehicle. They don’t just do passenger cars but also commercial fleets. If they weren’t anything that they claim they wouldn’t be here after almost 40 years and wouldn’t be as large as they are. They also would have been sued to oblivion for their claims if the product didn’t work. They are they are in fact the largest company in Canada with all their technicians having to be certified annually at Krown on how to apply the product and which vehicles have which known areas for corrosion that require special attention and better application methods to ensure they don’t incur corrosion in these areas. Something no other corrosion proofing product does for their network of people applying their product. Having used it for decades and keeping our vehicles till the wheels fall off some 300-500k later in some of the worst weather with tons of road salt where I am later I can tell you it does work well and does stop 100% of rust in our vehicles. We have used it since the 1980s across our fleet of family vehicles. I’ll take that test case and all these facts above over some nonsense you are going on about with 0 facts to back it up, any day of the week.
It's been a thing up here in the northeast for decades.spray the whole underside and frame brake lines,etc with used motor oil then drive down some dirt roads,repeat as needed.IT WORKS plain and simple kind of a p.i.t.a.to remove but your frame,etc will remain like new.The salt,snow and rain up here is friggin brutal.👍
I have a 98 4Runner. I'm the 2nd owner. The SUV was pretty much rust free from NC. I got compliments all the time when I first bought her in 2019. 2 mechanics offered me $5k for it on the spot. 242k mi on the clock at time of purchase for $3500. She now has 323k and still no engine check light! I was in Utica NY and found a junkyard that had some rocksliders on a 2001 4Runner. I was able to take them off. When I went to get the stick nuts......I had ALL THIS BLACK OIL on my hands. I didn't know why it was there. Fast forward to 2024. My SUV has rust everywhere. Makes me sad. lol. I didn't know about undercoating since I live in FL. Anyway. It's time to learn more about this process since I'm a Travel Nurse and work in the northeast so I can snowboard. Thanks for making this video!!!!
Old engine old is my go to for underbody chassis box sections etc c etc. Proven to work for over 50 years by those who know. Recoating every year or every other year. When the dust/dirt gets on it's a really tough barrier for salt.
You do a nice job with a good work ethic. Having done this myself, I think your pricing is fair. I'd like to see you wear better filtration/mask to stay *safe* long term.
I live 1:20 away and might just make an appointment. I think the drive would be well worth it. I’ll bring a ride and we’ll find something to do in the area while we wait.
Transmission fluid... Cheap and easy to use... Spray/pour into a rag, hold it over the tip of an air nozzle, squeeze the trigger and the mist covers everything...
Good information. Just got a new old chevy that sat in a barn. Live in Southern MN. Two seasons winter and road repair! Looking at undercoating and durability. Used fluid film but I wasn;t diligent . Seeing the result on my older vehicles. Will do my best to clean up and prevent future rust as sitting on the ground adds to rust. Thanks for the process.
If I was restoring a vehicle I would always put a lanolin based product as an undercoat. I know where there is an all original 1976 f250 here in northern NY that is daily driven is clean and looks almost like the day it was new. The same guy has a clean 1995 f350 that he uses as a service truck and both have always been treated yearly with fluid film.
Man, I wish you lived close. I haven’t found someone that can do a proper undercoating. So many shops can learn from you. I end up buying the same spray guns you have and do it myself so it’s done right
Wow looks like a great job. I've been using the lipstick shops for years because that's all i can get but a shop that bags the rotors is gold and you know they must do a great job.
Thank you for this information! I have a van that has been undercoated by NHOilUndercoaters here in NH for each winter since I got it. I don't really drive it much in the winter though. Good to know I could possibly skip years since it has such low road exposure.
When I was an apprentice in the 70s we always sprayed waste oil under the car, my boss always said where there is oil there will be no rust , messy job. Worked 100%
Northern Vermont here, Been rustproofing my vehicles with B&C oil , used ATF/Hydro transmission fluid etc for over 25 years and never looked back...They all work if applied properly..
Rust-belt mechanic here, and I totally agree with this. If you're the type that leases their vehicle for 2-3 years then, yes, don't bother oiling. However, if you buying a vehicle and want it to really last, then you HAVE to get it oil-sprayed.
Excellent video, great job with the oil film, so detailed, you cover so many important places! So impressive ...we are moving to Lincoln ME in 2 years (from Cruddy CT) and we will definitely have our vehicles oil filmed at your place going forward, we have been doing this for 3 years and even though it's messy to work on the vehicle after we get it oiled it's WELL WORTH IT!!! It works fantastic, we suffer winter salt for 50+ years....we are new subscribers 😊
I bought my truck new in 07 , spent 3 winters in michigan then came back , 328,000 miles on the chevy 4x4 cab & half 1/2 ton , and it rusted in half , so i found a florida truck just like it , im swapping it all over to a 2012 ..
As an article of faith, I have had my 2002 Ford Ranger non-drip undercoated every year: virtually rust-free to date, and I live in a hilly Ontario region with heavily salted roads.
I live in Michigan close to Canada, the Canadians have developed the amazing product called Krown and have brought it to only 3 locations in Michigan. I have it applied every six months on my tundra, its a annual treatment but twice a year is my preference because I put on about 16,000 miles a year and Michigan roads are no joke, it's only $175 a application, done in 30 minutes with a complimentary wash and wax.
@@FlippinCustomizedvery is very thorough, I watch them every time. There are two guys applying the Krown, each one has own is application tool, one is high volume sprayer for the undercarriage and the other is a long shank like instrument that's used to get into quarter panels, door panels, engine bay, behind tail lights and inner frame. They both do this in at the same time. I ways check they're work and make sure everything this thoroughly coated and and is saturated. Only one time I was not happy with a dry spot in my engine bay, then resprayed that who thing free of charge and gave me a complimentary aerosol can off the product to use on whatever I want.
Hello everyone I was in search of of a newer truck after my 01 Chevy was on its last leg and happened to find a nice 2013 Chevy Silverado that I jumped on real quick and of cause from New Hampshire lol, this truck has no rust on it and the whole underside and the door jams was covered in this thick oily dirt and I said what the heck, and then it dawned to me that the original owner loved his trucks. This is the way to go if you live up north. your truck should last your engine not the other way round.
i have 3 vehicles that have had this treatment for couple years. place i take em too get inside doors, rockers, cab corners, under hood and trunk, all hinges and locks, inside bed rails and tailgate. they don't skimp for sure. first visit takes longest but after that maybe hour. so far.... i like the oil spray undercoat. tailgate on old truck never worked so smooth!
I have a guy who has his own shop and he uses the NHOU product. I have him oil spray my vehicles every year. Its good stuff that NHOU. You guys do very good work!!
I get my Toyota Corolla oil sprayed every year before the winter. I bought it used with some rust in certain areas and I just want to prolong its life. 🙏
The part that hooked me with Fluid Film is that it seeps in deep.... all the way to the base material and acts as a water/oxygen barrier. I DO NOT use it on clean surfaces as there is no reason or point (it will likely just rinse away) I apply it ANYWHERE that I see rust. Typically, weld points are the primary points of rust getting it's start. Once there is something for it to actually soak into, it works GREAT. and on that note I'll look into this one, being it's origin is so close!
Worked in a garage in the late sixties. .we used to put cars up on a ramp and spray them underneath with a long lance a a very fine spray. They were like new underneath.no seized or rusted bolts..
I use cheap, 15 dollar chainsaw bar oil. Works great for me but fully agree, you need to take your time and get into the nooks. That's the big difference.
I wire brush all the rust with a drill, then use a rust spray paint, black, and thats it, looks great and retouch as necessary. One and done! Lasts a long time.
@FlippinCustomized the spray paint spraying into the voids is good enough. Remember let's be real here, the car a car or truck usually takes decades sometimes to rust out from the bottom, most people won't keep their cars that long. The doors, rocker body, will rust way before the frame underneath does, never had to replace a caliper or knuckle that was rusthrough, not going to happen. I do regularly spray with warm water as well through the winter monthly, not more to remove salt Have a 2011 x3, minor surface rust underneath, no body panel rust at all, BMW's are well protected. And the main frame is in a permanent thick wax....... So drive more and worry less.
Great Video. If I lived in your neck of the woods, I would pay you a thousand dollars for the three-part process and, yes, rotate my tires. Corvairwild swore by "Fluid Film" and, as far as I know, still does. I like your process!
Great work, subbed, I use waxoyl and coat any rusty areas with Kurust before I spray the waxoyl. wish I had a lift though, it would make the job so much easier.
My father used to use LPS3 for undercoating his truck. I was a kid back then so don't know the performance of it. Every few years he'd spray it again. I used Fluid Film on my 2018 Ford F350 when I bought it new. Couldn't tell ya how it's working. I never drive it. It has just over 5000 miles on it.
I bought a new f150 in 2014, last of the steel bodies. Rust Checked every year and i live in the northern rust belt, 10 years and zero rust, worth the effort especially considering how much new trucks cost these days.
Ive done my own truck now for 8 years it takes me about 3 hours. I use fluid film in the rocker panels and up in the front fenders and a similar product to what you used for underneath. Its survived 10 canadian winters and 225,000+ miles now with no rust totally worth getting filthy and 3 hours of time once per year from my experience. First 2 years I took it to a shop and yeah i noticed the lipstick job you talked about so started doing it myself. Thanks for the video I picked up some stuff like that long flexible tip for getting into tight spots that are a pain.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Have you ever just used used oil?
Rocker boxes are the first to go so everyone needs to plaster those with a vengeance till it drips. The same goes for door bottoms . Plug those slop plenty in and the drain in a half hour. I’ve done this on an old GM and it works splendidly just using chainsaw oil , cheap Vaseline and used transmission oil👍🏻. You can make your own spray tips using scrap copper tubing driller / pinched to your needs.
Glad to hear that some people up north take care of their vehicles very well. 👍

I still have a 95 Toyota Pickup because my father had it sprayed with RustStop every year from 1995 until he died 19 years later. Oil stops steel from rusting. It's not complicated. Long ago I had a landlord who shot old motor oil under his pickup every fall. Old farmer's trick. It works.
👍
old motor oil is very toxic, better to use cheap mineral but fresh... it is only $10 for 1 pickup or big sedan etc

No way! We just pulled a box side on an '11 chevy 2500 (accident). It had Ruststop applied years back . I was blown away at the condition of the truck . No rust , none, nada . The truck lives in NE Pennsylvania . I want to try the product in this video , the guy in the video did a great job .
Looks good OP. The only thing I'd change is to wear a mask for painting, such as a respirator with cartridges. That cloth mask is not going to keep the bad stuff out of your lungs any more than it can keep a virus out.
But it protects from viruses though.

Nice to see someone who cares about the quality of his work and the customers he provides for. Thanks for showing us how it should be done. No doubt you run a 1st class shop.
Thank you sir 🙏
Half the battle in undercoating is the application, and this is the gold standard. You won't get this kind of attention to detail from the chains. I also agree if you get this done, avoid the undercarriage blast during the winter.
Thank you 🙏
I live in aroostook county , What works for me is a mix of wheel bearing grease and laquer thinner , I have a dedicated spray gun for that , The thinner evaporates and a thin layer of grease is left behind , Every two years no problems so far.
Nice man
Any problems with excessive dirt build up ?
@@34979Charlie It will collect dust and dirt but it rinses off easy with a hose , It wont look pretty but helps keep the rust down.
I love aroostook county, beautiful potato fields, but most of the vehicles up there older than a decade are pretty much destroyed.
I spoke to a guy who had his truck for 20 years, when I asked him how he kept it so long, he said he used old motor oil then would drive on a dirt road to kick the dirt up onto the oil and keep it there! Awesome idea but a lot of oil ends up in the road.
Glad to see another “Maina”.
@@SamuelHensleyBut a lot of oil ends up on the road? And? The neighbors barbeque grill is polluting the atmosphere too?
I have my vehicles done in Michigan with another competitor. The shop has two people spraying. They also remove taillights in trucks and jeeps to spray. They do drill four holes to get in cab corners snd rockers. They use the long wand to spray into fenders and hood. I have it done yearly. Is thinner than your product and isn't Fluid Film. Does a nice job of protection. Bottom line as you say. It saves the vehicle. Nice video and information for folks that don't know.
Thanks for watching 🙏
What shop do you use? I am in Michigan myself
@@shawngurisko9208 8.10.24. 🤷🏻♂️Could be Henderson Brothers, in Midland,MI
Here in Northern NYS I use a place that pulls the taillights, inner fenders and drills small holes in bottom of the doors,rocker panels and cab corners. When they are done they plug the holes with rubber plugs. They also do under the hood where it needs it. This is on my 08 dodge ram 3500 crew cab with 8 foot bed. All under $ 200. And I've checked to be sure it was done so it's not just a wide cover spray.
@stevenjackson7067
I live just north of your border, and I agree with you that attention to detail makes a big difference on long term
I use to sell cars up in Cleveland Ohio back in the 1970s and they used a product called "BodyGuard" Rust Proofing. It was a milky creamy colored product, and the dealership I worked with did just like you are doing. they put the product into every possible area, EVERY POSSIBLE AREA. When they were done, the car had to set for several hours to allow the excess product to drip out of the panels before we were allowed to deliver the car to the customer. Good job man.
Thanks 🙏
@@patrickoneil6304 do you know if it actually kept the rust off them or no?
cleveland my hometown. Used to snow like crazy over in Euclid
I am from Quebec, Canada and i get my cars sprayed yearly the first few years and sprayed when needed the rest of its life. We also spray the inside of the doors trough the drain holes, hood , trunk lid and inner quarter panels / wheel arch in the trunk. We remove all the plastic from the under belly to spray evenly. Started that in 1998 on my GMC pickup and never had rust issues on all my cars since, i keep them for 8 to 10 years. You did a great job on the Jeep.
Being thorough pays off for sure
That's interesting, I'm in Manitoba and this is NOT a thing out here. Although it should be. I knew a feller that moved here from New Brunswick a few years ago and he was shocked that he couldn't find anyone to do this to his vehicle out here. I bought a 2012 Chevy 2500 new, and the rear quarters rusted through in 5 years. I sure wish I knew about this years ago.
I think they will ship it to you
Same here.
My 2003 Ford Taurus has been oil sprayed every October since I bought it new.
Still no rust and it runs great.
Quality job. Good to see someone that takes pride, the time, and the effort to do a job right. 👍
Thank you 🙏
Good job fellas! I’m just up above you’s in New Brunswick, Canada. Been using Fluid Film in the same application manner you showed here on my 2000 4 Runner for the last 16 years . Still looks like new! Been offered ridiculous money for it…. Not for sale!!!!
Perfect man 🤙
Yah. That "beat juice" they use on the roads in NB is wicked stuff for destroying cars.
I get a large vaseline and equivalent portion of paraffin wax melt them and mix them 2 liter with kerosene or diesel then spray the underside. This mix will solidify enough that water wont wash it away. And if it gets brushed off it will heal it self during warm weather by melting just enough to recover the surrounding place👍.
Interesting 🤔
@@AdelJeffreyJeffreysAuto The mixture you're describing sounds like homemade Rustop to me.
@@wsbill14224 well its cheap and it's been more than 18 months still holding. It got weaker in some spots where constant blast of road debris like front of diff axle and wheel wells. But still water proof. I will reapply it since its easy and cheap to make.
A couple years ago, I went to a big name location and had my Dually done. It took a couple hours to get it done and it was dripping when it came out. I went back there again last year, and no joke, by the time I had the bill paid, it was sitting in the yard, "COMPLETED"! I think I'm changing locations this year and wish I lived closer to you guys!! The way you do it and put in so much extra effort, I'd GLADLY pay you the extra money and for sure be returning!

Here on Long Island, NY (Very similar weather) we have a mobile guy called "Rust-Stop Pro" who uses NH Oil. He has all the attachments and wears a full plastic body suit with a respirator and everything. He did a fantastic and thorough job on my 2018 F150. Very happy with the product so far. The only thing was that clear mouse-out he used in the engine bay area has a strong chemical/peppermint smell that took like a month to finally start to fade away. But the undercoating absorbed road debris and dirt which thickened it up, and everything has a nice matte black appearance. Looks so much better and so happy with the piece of mind it gives me after seeing my Dad's 2008 F150 rot out so badly. Looks the same after like 10 months and I feel like it will last at least 2 years or more...
Great to hear
That peppermint smell is your dear friend. Learn to love it because most rodents can’t tolerate it and they just love to gnaw wires.
I’m not a fan of the clear but rest assured it’s still there, the shiny visual goes away after a while.
I use used oil and then hit a dirt road. My 2002 suburban still hasn’t rusted out on the east coast. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Perfect way to keep it there with a dusty road
@@ddoperations2768 that sounds great… till you have to work underneath it. Your eyes will get filled with dirt the second you lightly brush anything lol
I spray used oil on my dump trailer when I get a chance.
@@MikeOrazzi Don't let the EPA find out because they'll fine you. The undercoating products they allow like Fluid-Film are not petroleum based. They are usually lanolin based which comes from sheep's wool so it's environmentally safe. Used motor oil is not considered environmentally safe and the EPA will claim you are contaminating the environment as that used oil comes off your truck over time.
Used oil contains acid
Plays hell on rubbers over time
My Chevy sprayed out enough oil out. And if you need wider spray . Just hit the freeway speeds . It’s Ben working for years. 😮
😂
Bought a f250 4x4 diesel truck. Every oil change i spray the old oil underneath body and frame. It has preserved it for almost 40 years

We undercoated/oil sprayed our repairs with Transmission Fluid, we used it because it had no aggressive chemicals in it.
Never had a vehicle come back.
Perfect
My dads friend taught me years ago in Michigan.
Clean the underside of your truck cleaner than it deserves to be. Put on rubber gloves, and apply grease to the underside by hand 👌
Good job! I have found high temp wood stove chimney paint on exhaust has stopped any rust for about 6 years now. Another coat should last another 6 years.
I used a commercial body coating ???? years ago in UK which GUARANTEED no rust for 7 years and another 7 year guarantee if repeat coated before previous guarantee ran out; Had a parked van side swiped and body shop re coated new and old damage repair to maintain guarantee, eventually product was unavailable!!
What parts of the exhaust specifically and where do you get the paint?
I just use a tiny drill bit and drill a hole in the front side of my valve cover gasket, it drips down everywhere and blows backwards at 80 mph. It completely covered everything under the vehicle and keeps oxygen and water off of the bottom of the vehicle. Zero rust can be found under my car. And I only use the water resistant oil. Sometimes it seems as though the brakes aren’t strong enough but I just keep pushing and is burns of the unwanted residue from the disc.
Are you being serious 😂
@@FlippinCustomized no.
Ha!
Great product. Been using it for about 3 years now. Worth the time and getting a little messy to keep the rust away.
Agreed messy but worth it
Every new car should have this done at the factory
Except they want you to have to buy a new car in 5-7 years
Then, they would not sell as many new vehicles.
You’re assuming that the manufacturer has you at heart while building these cars. They’re only about stock price.
Local vip failed my car inspection because it was oil treated. Said it was a fire hazard
@@jessehamilton4223 You need to talk to your local gearheads. Find out who you can bribe with a six pack of beer.
I’m also in NH and I’ve been using different types of rust preventatives for 30 years. I think the age of the vehicle depends on what you use. For example if it’s a new or newer vehicle, just a few years old with very minor surface rust, there is no reason to spray oil and then have to deal with the maintenance and the mess for years. Instead, use cosmoline wax. It will provide the same rust protection as the oil without the mess. If it’s 10 years old and it’s starting to flake then yeah use the oil. Just keep in mind once you use the oil there’s no going back to the wax. Also keep in mind you should not oil spray a new GM frame. The GM frame comes from factory with wax. If you spray it will ruin the coating of the frame.
They offer a wax line as well for new vehicles, as long as it’s not applied heavily it holds up on the gm frames, or you can wait a couple years and the wax will fall off and rust anyway 😂
@@FlippinCustomized so very true.
Anybody in Maine is awesome in my book!! Have daughter son in law and atm two grandkids in Cutler!!! I picked up a 2012 GMC 2500HD that is nearly rust free (quite a find in upstate NY)) and plan to spray it hopefully before the salt hits the roads!! Thanks, great video!! Maine ROCKS!!!

Sadly a lot of places do a poor job and miss many spots under the car. They miss the fender lips, forget to spray in the boxed in sections and so on. If possible, watch them do the job. I use Corrosion Free applied at Canadian Tire and really watch the fellow applying it. Every year! We have a 24-year old truck that looks like new under neath still having done it!
You got F**ked
On my brand new rigs I'll paint under it first and then I do what the old farmers used to do. Change the oil, save it, add some diesel, pull the tires off and spray it on with an old cup gun at 100psi. And.... getting it in the nooks and crannies is a very proper explanation 👍. It works excellent on fence posts too.
Hot used oil and graphite mixed together. I spray inside the frame rails first then inside the rocker panels working my way out from under the vehicle. Then from the lower panels up and under the hood. Spraying inside the tops of the fenders and down the cowl post. And inside the doors. After spraying it i also drive it down a dirt road ( if i can find one ) then park it for a day and let it drip dry. This is what i have done for years and have had no rust issues to speek of. My current truck is a 99 ram and it has been in the N E Ohio aria for 4 years of daily driving. Still no rust. Even the commonly known rust arias are clean.
Sweet we run a 99 ram too
@@FlippinCustomized they have their issues but they were clearly ahead of their time.
Agree
I take a multi pronged approach. Annual late summer professional application of krown by a reputable applicator. Regular touch ups with fluid film whenever I am working on anything on the truck.
Just got my 2012 Escape done by a new shop with an awesome owner I found here in SE Michigan. I had it done by a different shop (they no longer apply it) in '21, '22 and skipped last year but decided to get another coating before the crap weather hits eventually. This guy took off the spare and hit that and also removed my tail lights and got all under those areas as well as the other areas you hit for the Jeep. Immediately after leaving the shop, I drove up and down a dirt road to start coating the NHOU with all the dust I could! Next year, this guy said to bring in my Escape and he'd put it up and evaluate (for free) whether or not it needed another coat or I could skip until Fall 2026. Wish he offered the free tire rotation like you do, superb idea! Great video, BTW.
Nice 🤙
May I ask how much it was for that service.
I'm thinking about providing this service in the future because there is no one doing it in my area.
@@paulcoenen7918 This guy charges by three general sizes of vehicles, basically small, medium and large. My Escape ( a medium-sized SUV) would've been $200 for an initial application. I believe a car and/or small SUV would be a little less than that and a larger SUV/truck would be more. I did not ask his price points for something smaller than my Escape or something larger. Since my Escape had two previous coatings, he charged me a $150 re-coating fee, not the $200. He even hit some more spots than the original guys that did my Escape in '21 and '22 but still just charged me $150. The same goes for a smaller or a larger job, ergo the re-coating fee is about $50 less than the initial application fee. As above in my post, I will be returning this time every year for a free eval to see if it needs it again or if he thinks I can skip a year. All subsequent re-coatings for my (medium) SUV will be $150.
@cryogenickid4159
That sounds Dirt Cheap for a valuable service.
I have done this to my own trucks and its a big job especially working from the ground 🙃
@@paulcoenen7918 The shop in Ohio who did my initial '21 application charged $250 cash, and their re-coat fee in '22 was $200, so yes this guy is a great deal any way you look at it...and he's more thorough as stated above. He schedules no more than four appointments per day so he doesn't have to feel as if he's rushing through any job either.
My great uncle showed me a trick. A mix of engine oil and diesel fuel. His 82 F-150 looked brand new yet. But he did get it repainted. Zero rust though, all original panels. Repaint was done in 95, if I remember correctly. It has kept wy newer vehicles rust free. I live in Wisconsin. Heavy salt and bitter cold temperatures!
Nice
I lived in Arizona Desert my whole life rust free BUT I went to that Flagstaff Arizona and they do have to deal with salt rust..... but Desert life is BEST....

Great video,
I was introduced to NHOU years ago, I have a 2010 Tundra that has been oiled every year since it had about 40k miles, first one I did I removed spare tire/skid plates, all plastic wheel well covers etc. to make sure every piece of metal would get coated, that was at the original shop where it all started, now I go to the main shop, not a single spot of rust and the fact that it’s a Toyota is impressive. One thing you forgot to mention is that this stuff actually creeps and seeks out rust. Best of luck with your shop, keep up with the videos and you’ll have more business than you can handle with this stuff.
Thank you 🙏
You guys do an excellent job … l love this product it’s made a big difference on a few of my trucks over the years

Dude, my 2003 Silverado automatically changes its oil and undercoats itself. I call it the Chevrolet Valdez. It's like it lubricates the highway, so people's tires will last longer! It even coats my trailer some. Thank you, General Motors.

@@GOW3ST No, that's a dad blamed Chevrolet LS engine for you. 100 miles, 1/2 of oil.
First off I love in Western Canada. Yes, you can say this is the Rust Belt and it covers three coasts. I have a 2008 F350. I've heard everything there is to say about these trucks. It's now 2024. For 6 years I have used trans oil just soak it down. Take the tires and brakes off no calipers no routers. Every two years. Just power wash it down let it dry for a couple of weeks driving in the dry weather spray the trans fluid all over the undercarriage and let it drip for two years do it all over. No breaks no tires. Metal only

Do u mean transmission oil ?
i did fluid film the first 2 years i owed my truck its a great product but i couldn’t stand the smell and it was definitely a lot thinner. I switched to NHOU the past 2 years and i couldn’t be happier!

When I moved from Texas to MI, I started using Fluid film on my 06 Silverado. After 140k miles here in MI and going on 8 winters. That truck still hasn't rusted out. Oil protects metal from rusting.
Agree
A guy I worked with had an old dodge with over 300k miles and no rust on the frame. This is a NY truck so it sees lots of salt. Every year he would go to the Walmart parking lot with a sprayer mixed with diesel fuel and oil I think it was mostly oil but the diesel made it thin enough to spray he didn’t give me the recipe but offered to spray my truck too. He would spray the entire underside of his truck then let it run and smoke while he walked away so nobody thought it was his. When it was done smoking he would go home. Once a year and this 12-15 year old truck had no rust. I didn’t believe him at first but later found out it was true.
Ha ha awesome
Informative and well done. It’s great to see a shop that pays attention to detail and not take short cuts for a better profit. I live in Pa but would be willing to make the trip to use your expertise.
I use a gallon of 30w bar and chain oil mixed with a tube of Lucas red tacky grease heated up in a crockpot ratio ! Spray it on hot and when cool it sticks on nice 😜

How did the beef stew taste after using the crockpot to make undercoating spray?
😂
My grandfather on my mother's side, worked for a sand and stone company for many years. He drove an old Chevy dump truck built in 1975. It was oil sprayed annually and he drove it for decades until the old diesel engine died. They put an old school bus engine in it and he drove it until he retired a few years ago. The company eventually retired the dump truck for one reason or another. Oil spray undercoating of any kind is life, especially in the rust belt of Canada. My family lives in Newfoundland where roads are either just salted or salt and sand.
Absolutely 💪
I wish I had known about this when I used to live in northern Illinois around Waukegan many years ago. I shared this video on X so it might help those who live in that part of the country where salt on the roads in winter does a lot of vehicle damage over time.
Thank you 🙏
I use a product in Canada called Krown. It is applied every year and is an oil that coats thoroughly and creeps everywhere. Yes, it is messy, but my 2008 Ranger has NO rust on the frame or any of the body panels. Mechanics don't like working underneath, but I have seen what coatings like Ziebart can do to the frame of a Jeep.
Not a fan of Ziebart
I second using Krown. They heat the oil up prior to spraying and use strategic holes to gain access to the most troubling area of cars and trucks. Drips for a day or two after application but well worth it IMO
My brother has a 07 Fit and has used Krown yearly. Car looks almost new. Have used it on my Outback and plan to get it done this fall.
Got my truck done todayKrown took the tail light off sprayed in the panel with a long attachment and got in the wheel wells and plugs all over areas of truck
4 years in a row
No rust yet
Krown cant compete with fluid film, stuff is weak
A history lesson: For decades long ago, the savvy mechanics would spray the undercarriage with old crankcase oil - some even heated it so it would wick into crevices - they noticed that there was never rust where oil leaks (or which were common) made a surrounding mess.
In the 70's there was one product:
Kendall's KendCoat 60 - it was specifically called out by many industrial uses, it was discontinued but
Chevron Marine Rust Proof Compound L was the next reincarnation, but Chevron quit supplying this to North America;
Michigan Petroleum Technologies had fleet customers that strongly wanted it so they developed their own "... Compound L." All of these were amber and similar to a whipped cake icing. Fortunately this technology is now everywhere.
It's really annoying that the vast majority of automotive repair shops don't give a complimentary spray can shot of Fluid Film or Rust Shield in areas that are starting to rust. Especially when it would be good for business: people would keep their cars longer resulting in more repairs!
Nicely done folks. Southern Maine here. I've subscribed. 👍
Thank you 🙏
I can’t imagine doing this in my driveway or garage. It’s definitely not a do it yourself project. You guys are really thorough. Great job
It can be done yourself in a driveway but hard to get everywhere
Nifty video, thanks for posting. How rough is this product on rubber bits? One of the upsides of the lanolin products is that they are supposed to not hurt rubber bits: bushings, boots, etc. I read this is mineral oil based, so I gotta wonder...
Honestly has not been bad
I’d gladly replace some bushings with such , it’s a lot cheaper than frame repair or another truck. . It’s too late for my 09 GMC but I keep it on the road. Mine had the rubbery coating on it wasn’t the best option.
Oil does break down rubber over time. But I would imagine this would not cause the breakdown like a oil leak would. I guess the question is would you rather replace cheap mounts every 7 to 10 years, or a whole new car.
Been doing my Toyota Prado (19 years old now and still rust free) and Subaru Forester like this for years, paying particular attention to all cavities including doors sills etc.
I go one up and smear the outside of the chassis and high wear exposed areas such as the bodyshell inner sills with marine grease.
I don't have spray equipment at home so twice a year get the vehicle up on 4 ramps give the whole underbody a blast over with ACF50, i like this product because its very thin and gets into all the different height sensors etc which are also prone to salt water ingress and penetrates into through bolts and such so when you need to undo something it comes undone instead of snapping off, plus it doesn't effect rubber bushes etc.
Salt is used extensively in England too, they put it down for no reason at all most of the time.
Whatever you do its better than doing nothing, which is what most people do.
Good job you fellers are doing, well done.
Thank you sir🙏. Yes I swear they salt roads just to use salt inventory
PB blaster film Dries and it is easy to apply and cheap to purchase
Interesting
I might have missed what you do with the internal places on the doors, hood and trunk lid. I've had my 2013 Dodge Charger SXT every year since 2013 and still have no rust on it. Odometer reads 204261 km today. I live on the shore of Lake Huron in Ontario. The salt mine in Goderich supplies a lot of the road salt they use. I've had Krown Rust Protection done and am satisfied with it. I really like what you are doing and how you are doing it. I'm sure your customers have peace of mind about the excellent job you do.
Thank you 🙏
WASH WASH WASH WASH Your car like Mad in the winter months, paying special attention to the underbody
I live out in Idaho. This practice isn't very common but it should be. We get a ton of snow thus salt on the roads. Just bought a 2002 gmc denali in great shape but the underside is rusty AF. Didn't think to check it as I grew up in GA where this wasn't an issue. Definitely going to do this to it and hope that stops it from getting worse. The vehicle has at least another 150k miles it can go if it doesn't rust out.
Thanks for the great video!
Definitely give it a Good application and reapply next year it will definitely help
I live in the rustbelt here in Ontario Canada where we have brutal winters with a ton of road salt. We have an oil based spray called Krown and it's Canada's Number 1 Rust proofing and they have been around since the 1980's. They guarantee no rust and will fix any that occurs if you have used the product since the car was new (or under 2 years old with less than 48,000km) on it. My van that was 22 years old had 0 rust on it when it went to the scrap yard with 500K on the odometer. It made me a believer. You can buy the cans of their product in the US and Canada and do the application yourself. It's a non-toxic environmentally high zinc oil that creeps and then produces a self-healing barrier. It eventually dries in place after the first month but it will drip like crazy for the first week. You need it to creep so it can get into the seems of welds and folded metal. If it doesn't drip, it can't creep and doesn't work. They have videos on their web page talking about it all. Krown Rust Control. New Hampshire would be my second choice. My brother lives in Boston and that is what he uses because he doesn't want to do the application himself and his Mechanic does the New Hampshire treatment. All rubbers should be sprayed with a 100% silicone spray first to keep them from absorbing the oil products and causing them to deteriorate with time, no matter what product you use. In the Krown treatment shops here, they start by treating all the rubber on your car like the door seals etc. with 100% Silicone spray.
👍
My wife used to work for krown rust proofing for a number of years and sadly it has become big business for most of the franchises. Putting cars and trucks through every 15 minutes as they have to meet a quota. I ended up replacing my rubber motor mounts as the Krown turned them to mush. It also washes off easily underneath. I finally switched to a product called Corrosion Free and it's is so much better than Krown. It won't rot the rubber either. You can buy it in pails and do it yourself.
@@condoguy810 That's unfortunate, I've never had this problem with rubber turning to mush. I've always had a thorough application as well. I'd love to apply it myself but I can't because of walking impairments due to a spina cord injury. I have seen the corrosion free test results and it is good stuff but the problem is trying to find somewhere that isn't Canadian Tire that applies it because those folks don't give a damn about your vehicle and won't do it properly. At least with Krown they are annually certified. I would have complained to Krown head office, maybe your facility wasn't doing it properly or using the proper stuff. I don't know. I know their customer service is excellent at head office because I called to compliment a facility and they were great.
What a crock of shit. First of all krown is not Canada's number one rust proofing company. You need to educate yourself on that kid. They are one of the worst products to use. Yes they will repel rust but the company itself focuses on profit over protection. They don't spray most of the cavities inside your vehicle where salt water can accumulate. And the ones they do spray they tend to drill holes to be able to insert their plugs instead of pulling the factory plug right next to the hole they drill. So they're making unnecessary holes in your vehicle. Which down the road you can actually see these new holes drilled end up rusting out around their plugs. Krown is also known for dripping a lot when first applied. This is easily seen when you drive into the driveway of any krown dealer. You'll see us continuous dark path leading from their bays out onto the street. You want the job done properly. You get a qualified guy that does fluid film. Much better. Product lasts longer and these guys actually spray inside of all the vehicle cavities using factory openings, no need unnecessary holes being drilled.
@@jasonmorehouse3756 You sir have no idea what you are talking about. YOU NEED TO EDUCATE YOURSELF before you go shooting your mouth off about what you don’t know about. They have been around since the 1980s and have over 500 locations coast to coast servicing approximately 40,000 vehicles annually with a warranty that is backed up for the lifetime you own the vehicle. They don’t just do passenger cars but also commercial fleets. If they weren’t anything that they claim they wouldn’t be here after almost 40 years and wouldn’t be as large as they are. They also would have been sued to oblivion for their claims if the product didn’t work. They are they are in fact the largest company in Canada with all their technicians having to be certified annually at Krown on how to apply the product and which vehicles have which known areas for corrosion that require special attention and better application methods to ensure they don’t incur corrosion in these areas. Something no other corrosion proofing product does for their network of people applying their product. Having used it for decades and keeping our vehicles till the wheels fall off some 300-500k later in some of the worst weather with tons of road salt where I am later I can tell you it does work well and does stop 100% of rust in our vehicles. We have used it since the 1980s across our fleet of family vehicles. I’ll take that test case and all these facts above over some nonsense you are going on about with 0 facts to back it up, any day of the week.
It's been a thing up here in the northeast for decades.spray the whole underside and frame brake lines,etc with used motor oil then drive down some dirt roads,repeat as needed.IT WORKS plain and simple kind of a p.i.t.a.to remove but your frame,etc will remain like new.The salt,snow and rain up here is friggin brutal.👍
In Canada where we get snow and salt Krown Rustproofing is the best.
I’ve used it just not a fan
I have a 98 4Runner. I'm the 2nd owner. The SUV was pretty much rust free from NC. I got compliments all the time when I first bought her in 2019. 2 mechanics offered me $5k for it on the spot. 242k mi on the clock at time of purchase for $3500. She now has 323k and still no engine check light! I was in Utica NY and found a junkyard that had some rocksliders on a 2001 4Runner. I was able to take them off. When I went to get the stick nuts......I had ALL THIS BLACK OIL on my hands. I didn't know why it was there. Fast forward to 2024. My SUV has rust everywhere. Makes me sad. lol. I didn't know about undercoating since I live in FL. Anyway. It's time to learn more about this process since I'm a Travel Nurse and work in the northeast so I can snowboard.
Thanks for making this video!!!!
Thanks for watching
Ive had really good luck with Woolwax, goes on pretty thick and like the NH oil it only needs reapplying every other year.
Old engine old is my go to for underbody chassis box sections etc c etc. Proven to work for over 50 years by those who know. Recoating every year or every other year. When the dust/dirt gets on it's a really tough barrier for salt.
Exactly
You do a nice job with a good work ethic.
Having done this myself, I think your pricing is fair.
I'd like to see you wear better filtration/mask to stay *safe* long term.
Thank you
I've been spraying my trailers and trucks with used 15W40 motor oil once yearly, with good results.
Nice
You did a nice job for the customer. I like the black look. Plus it’s easy to see if it’s wearing off in any areas.
Thank you 🙏
I live 1:20 away and might just make an appointment. I think the drive would be well worth it. I’ll bring a ride and we’ll find something to do in the area while we wait.
Sounds good
Go to Condon's Donuts for breakfast.
Up in CANADA we do inside doors and door pillars and inside tailgates,inside front fenders from the top .
Yes sir we do too 💪
I use a garden sprayer. And ATF oil works very well. Every fall and spring. I use walmart ATF $20.00 a gallon.
Transmission fluid... Cheap and easy to use... Spray/pour into a rag, hold it over the tip of an air nozzle, squeeze the trigger and the mist covers everything...
Nice
Good information. Just got a new old chevy that sat in a barn. Live in Southern MN. Two seasons winter and road repair! Looking at undercoating and durability. Used fluid film but I wasn;t diligent . Seeing the result on my older vehicles. Will do my best to clean up and prevent future rust as sitting on the ground adds to rust. Thanks for the process.
Thanks for watching
If I was restoring a vehicle I would always put a lanolin based product as an undercoat. I know where there is an all original 1976 f250 here in northern NY that is daily driven is clean and looks almost like the day it was new. The same guy has a clean 1995 f350 that he uses as a service truck and both have always been treated yearly with fluid film.
Man, I wish you lived close. I haven’t found someone that can do a proper undercoating. So many shops can learn from you. I end up buying the same spray guns you have and do it myself so it’s done right
Well thank you, there are some hood shops around just have to do your homework
Wow looks like a great job. I've been using the lipstick shops for years because that's all i can get but a shop that bags the rotors is gold and you know they must do a great job.
Thank you for this information! I have a van that has been undercoated by NHOilUndercoaters here in NH for each winter since I got it. I don't really drive it much in the winter though. Good to know I could possibly skip years since it has such low road exposure.
Just have someone look at it to be sure
When I was an apprentice in the 70s we always sprayed waste oil under the car, my boss always said where there is oil there will be no rust , messy job. Worked 100%
It used to be the way 🤙
Whats waist oil ?
Northern Vermont here, Been rustproofing my vehicles with B&C oil , used ATF/Hydro transmission fluid etc for over 25 years and never looked back...They all work if applied properly..
i'm in Franklin county and use Fluid Film every other year. No Rust! FF is non toxic !
Nice 👍
Rust-belt mechanic here, and I totally agree with this. If you're the type that leases their vehicle for 2-3 years then, yes, don't bother oiling. However, if you buying a vehicle and want it to really last, then you HAVE to get it oil-sprayed.
It’s messy to work on but way better than rust
Excellent video, great job with the oil film, so detailed, you cover so many important places! So impressive ...we are moving to Lincoln ME in 2 years (from Cruddy CT) and we will definitely have our vehicles oil filmed at your place going forward, we have been doing this for 3 years and even though it's messy to work on the vehicle after we get it oiled it's WELL WORTH IT!!! It works fantastic, we suffer winter salt for 50+ years....we are new subscribers 😊
Thank you 🙏
I bought my truck new in 07 , spent 3 winters in michigan then came back , 328,000 miles on the chevy 4x4 cab & half 1/2 ton , and it rusted in half , so i found a florida truck just like it , im swapping it all over to a 2012 ..
As an article of faith, I have had my 2002 Ford Ranger non-drip undercoated every year: virtually rust-free to date, and I live in a hilly Ontario region with heavily salted roads.
Nice
I live in Michigan close to Canada, the Canadians have developed the amazing product called Krown and have brought it to only 3 locations in Michigan.
I have it applied every six months on my tundra, its a annual treatment but twice a year is my preference because I put on about 16,000 miles a year and Michigan roads are no joke, it's only $175 a application, done in 30 minutes with a complimentary wash and wax.
Done in 30 min??? I question how thorough
@@FlippinCustomizedvery is very thorough, I watch them every time.
There are two guys applying the Krown, each one has own is application tool, one is high volume sprayer for the undercarriage and the other is a long shank like instrument that's used to get into quarter panels, door panels, engine bay, behind tail lights and inner frame.
They both do this in at the same time.
I ways check they're work and make sure everything this thoroughly coated and and is saturated. Only one time I was not happy with a dry spot in my engine bay, then resprayed that who thing free of charge and gave me a complimentary aerosol can off the product to use on whatever I want.
Oh ok 2 guys that makes more sense
Hello everyone I was in search of of a newer truck after my 01 Chevy was on its last leg and happened to find a nice 2013 Chevy Silverado that I jumped on real quick and of cause from New Hampshire lol, this truck has no rust on it and the whole underside and the door jams was covered in this thick oily dirt and I said what the heck, and then it dawned to me that the original owner loved his trucks. This is the way to go if you live up north. your truck should last your engine not the other way round.
Exactly
I had my truck done at NHOU in NH last month. They have an incredible reputation and their products are very good.
There customers experience is top notch
i have 3 vehicles that have had this treatment for couple years. place i take em too get inside doors, rockers, cab corners, under hood and trunk, all hinges and locks, inside bed rails and tailgate. they don't skimp for sure. first visit takes longest but after that maybe hour. so far.... i like the oil spray undercoat. tailgate on old truck never worked so smooth!
Perfect
I have a guy who has his own shop and he uses the NHOU product. I have him oil spray my vehicles every year. Its good stuff that NHOU. You guys do very good work!!
Agree and thank you
I get my Toyota Corolla oil sprayed every year before the winter. I bought it used with some rust in certain areas and I just want to prolong its life. 🙏
Perfect
The part that hooked me with Fluid Film is that it seeps in deep.... all the way to the base material and acts as a water/oxygen barrier. I DO NOT use it on clean surfaces as there is no reason or point (it will likely just rinse away) I apply it ANYWHERE that I see rust. Typically, weld points are the primary points of rust getting it's start. Once there is something for it to actually soak into, it works GREAT. and on that note I'll look into this one, being it's origin is so close!
Absolutely great method
Worked in a garage in the late sixties. .we used to put cars up on a ramp and spray them underneath with a long lance a a very fine spray. They were like new underneath.no seized or rusted bolts..
Perfect
I use cheap, 15 dollar chainsaw bar oil. Works great for me but fully agree, you need to take your time and get into the nooks. That's the big difference.
If it works it works
I wire brush all the rust with a drill, then use a rust spray paint, black, and thats it, looks great and retouch as necessary. One and done! Lasts a long time.
How do you in the voids?
@FlippinCustomized the spray paint spraying into the voids is good enough.
Remember let's be real here, the car a car or truck usually takes decades sometimes to rust out from the bottom, most people won't keep their cars that long. The doors, rocker body, will rust way before the frame underneath does, never had to replace a caliper or knuckle that was rusthrough, not going to happen. I do regularly spray with warm water as well through the winter monthly, not more to remove salt
Have a 2011 x3, minor surface rust underneath, no body panel rust at all, BMW's are well protected. And the main frame is in a permanent thick wax.......
So drive more and worry less.
Great Video. If I lived in your neck of the woods, I would pay you a thousand dollars for the three-part process and, yes, rotate my tires. Corvairwild swore by "Fluid Film" and, as far as I know, still does. I like your process!
Thank you 🙏
Great work, subbed, I use waxoyl and coat any rusty areas with Kurust before I spray the waxoyl. wish I had a lift though, it would make the job so much easier.
Yes a lift is a game changer
Very impressive ! You have done a very thorough job and you go about it the correct way. I’d love to have you do my 85VW Vanagon 😊
My father used to use LPS3 for undercoating his truck. I was a kid back then so don't know the performance of it. Every few years he'd spray it again. I used Fluid Film on my 2018 Ford F350 when I bought it new. Couldn't tell ya how it's working. I never drive it. It has just over 5000 miles on it.
Lps3 is good stuff
I bought a new f150 in 2014, last of the steel bodies. Rust Checked every year and i live in the northern rust belt, 10 years and zero rust, worth the effort especially considering how much new trucks cost these days.
Absolutely
