    Excellent video on an even better topic. A few suggestions I’d make based mostly on personal preference/opinion from my research. RepairGeek has a ton of in-depth videos on this topic as well.
    1. Painting is not necessary if you reapply a lanolin based product (wool wax, fluid film, surface shield) yearly.
    2. For trucks with more serious rust than yours had - either make damn sure you get down to clean metal before painting or use a phosphoric acid product to convert the rust from iron oxide -> iron phosphate before coating/painting.
    3. Avoid underbody washes after coating, and reapply once a year.
    4. Don’t waste your time with the aerosols unless it’s a quick touch up.
    5. You can add graphite powder to the coating and it will come out a clean gloss black (even tho it eventually collects dirt/debris)
    6. Finally, complete any pending maintenance or modifications to the undercarriage BEFORE applying because from here on out every time you get under your truck expect to get messy.

    • @teamoildrop
      @teamoildrop  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That is some SOLID info. I know painting isn't necessary but I just can't leave my underside brown at all. It hurts my soul a bit. I had not heard of the graphite powder idea, that is very clever!
      Agreed on aerosol for touchups mostly.

    I was waiting for this video from you. I sprayed my 2021 when I got it and spray it every year with the rattle can version of fluid film. Please have a look at the inside of the bed rails from underneath looking up. You will see rust on the seems. Definitely get that area too. The rust belt is unforgiving.

      @michaelsteelepix 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @teamoildrop I'm not good at explaining things, that's why I don't make youtube videos. Let me try...if you stand next to the truck bed and put your hand on top of the side rail, that's hollow. Moisture and salt can get up there. The wheel well might have to come off to spray it. It's on my list this fall.

  • @megahurts2
    @megahurts2 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Awesome how to, I loath the rust and the salt they put on the roads x_x.
    I will say my preferred products, at least based on reviews I've seen, is AmsOil Heavy Duty Metal Protector as it's basically Fluid Film but dry's with a hard finish and repels dirt/mud etc.
    It still washes off with stuff like Simple Green, but it doesn't make a mess like Fluid Film and technically stays on parts longer (depending on ones preference).
    The other go to is what Toyota puts into the frame rails etc, which is Noxudol 700.
    I'd say this is good for hard to reach areas around the body/frame etc.
    I also found that Salts Gone isn't a bad thing to have on hand either depending on how one likes to fight the rust.
    In the painting department, these 3 I found were better then Por15 as far as holding up to salty environments.
    Mastercoat Ultimate Permanent Rust Sealer SILVER
    Mastercoat AG111™ Ultimate Chassis Finish
    Mastercoat Metal Prep & Rust Remover
    Anyway, had to share.
    While there's a lot of ways to fight the rust, I figure it's good to have options.

      solid info! I know FF is such a household name at this point in the auto and blue collar industries. I need to a deep comparison video at some point. You see the vasoline test? THAT was impressive but not very practical for spray applications.

    • @megahurts2
      @megahurts2 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      ​@@teamoildrop Oh very true, with how commonly FF is used it's for sure an easy thing to grab and know what you're getting into. Also it might be easier to grab then AmsOil stuff depending.
      I think if it works as well as the examples I've seen, it's basically a less messy option depending on what someone wants.
      I am super eager to give it a try though as sometimes in Idaho you get salt on the roads and...that's not super fun.
      I'll have to look up Vaseline, that sounds super interesting.
      Good to knowledge to have in a pinch.
      Also great video as I love to see what others are doing and how well they fair.

    I've seen these roller things that attach to a pressure washer. It's basically 3 pressure washer jets mounted on some roller blade wheels for underbody washing. That might make the job a lot easier for cleaning the underside. Woolwax also sells a lower viscosity mix of their lanolin product for spray application. Might help if doing this in the fall if you can't heat the gallon cans safely.
    For your mask (for the lanolin spray) get a P95 or P100, not N95. The P rated masks are meant for oily particles. N rated masks are for dry particles. A nuisance vapor cartridge or organic vapor cartridge on the half face mask also works, and is more comfortable than the N95 with a better mask seal. They may be called an elasometric mask, or half-face mask. They will be in the same section as the N95s.
    I realize you used an N95 for the grinding, but would also be wise for the oily spray.

    Fluid Film is good stuff, but Blaster Surface Shield is the better choice IMO. Seems to hold on longer and be more resistant to wash off.

      Typically the smell should dissipate over the next few weeks. You can definitely wash the truck during the winter, we just advise not using a degreaser on the underside. But fluidfilm is quite water resistant so a normal wash should not remove much of the product!

    No need to paint if rust is light. Same the money for beer!!! Ya have your sister come visit you in the fall. She'll have more patience and you will need to hit the high wear spots and you'll see where you missed. Good thing is the next app will only use about a 1/3 gallon. I didn't see but hit the spare tire chain and rim if it's still the stock spare. Hope you installed all the mods under there!! It's real fun to run wires or mount stuff. With the cans spray the door drain holes, pop the hood and spray the front lip of the hood and then get the inside fender between the plastic wheel well. Tail gate take of the plastic and spray that also. Note it will drip out on your bumper but just wipe it of daily until it stops. Great vid!!
