Frame protection

JrocK817 · February 22, 2013

After a search on here I found that the wax coating used on our frames is made by the Daubert Chemical Company - "Nox-Rust X-121-B" In the north east i have to deal with salt for almost 6 months out to the year.. so i figured i would try and find the same stuff so I can re-apply it every spring where it wore off or rust looks like its forming. The only place i could find it available is on their website : http://store.daubert.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=D&Screen=PROD&Category_Code=Noxrust&Product_Code=1786060

They sell single cans for $15 as well. That's the way I went. Figured if it does the job, and keeps my frame looking good, I can get a few people in my area to go in on a case with me. Cheaper that way.

It is pricey but since I plan to have this truck for a while, its worth it. My guess is i wont be able to apply this until April sometime but once I do I'll get some pics up..

I tried that stuff on my 03 and I wasn't impressed with the way it held up. I used the rubberized undercoating from Eastwood with good results and it's cheaper too. http://www.eastwood.com/eastwood-s-rubberized-undercoating.html

^ yea i seen that stuff too. Was on the fence between the two actually, but wanted to try and match OE. I will have to give that a shot if I don't like this stuff

You'd be much better off scraping off all the crap, and painting the whole chassis with a proper rust encapuslator paint and chassis topcoat.

The part number for getting the Nox rust through a GM parts dept is # 12346501 , its in a aerosol can

I'm going to be getting some soon from Paddock Chev

I did the visible parts of my frame when I did my body lift and I'm planning on doing the whole undercarriage in the near future. It is time consuming for sure

Well I got to use some of this over the weekend. Hit 60-70 both saturday and sunday. wooo! 30's again today. anyways.. i did the part of my frame exposed in the rear wheel well. 2 thin coats.. LOOKS LIKE NEW! its only been a couple days so well see how it holds up. Drove through a little rain and still looks fresh. Looks like i will be using this until I have the ambition to scrape and re-paint my frame.

Yep Fluid Film is good stuff... or Rust Check

Amen, I've used Fluid Film on the truck the last few years, mom's Lacrosse since new, and the wife's Kia as well. It definitely seems to help hold off the rust.
