Frame Wax/Undercoating

tnchevy · March 4, 2016

My 2012 Ford f150 work truck has a painted frame and after 4 years it is completely covered in surface rust.

My frame coating has held up well. I did touch up a couple of small spots with the GM aerosol 12346501 wax. Matches perfectly. Scrape, sand the surface rust off, then apply.

Id say mine is holding up pretty well compared to most, I still think it shouldn't have rusted at all at this point but whatever. I searched for that product and I see it ended or discontinued everywhere. Did you get that recently?

Yes, in October, 2015. From my local dealer.

I see more issues with low mileage Ram bodies rusting than rusting frames these days. The 90's/early 00's Rams had horrific frame rot.

Yes. And the issue caused me a lot of second thoughts, but I switched anyway. I really wanted to love that truck. It was my very first new one.

Rust will always be an issue for any truck, even the aluminum wonder truck. Keeeping rust away is ultimately up to the owner.

Up here in New England for the most part vehicles are exposed to a ''cocktail'' of highly corrosive ice control treatments. Hell there is trucks up here 7 or 8 years old and outside still looks decent . Crawl under them where owner never tried to combat rust and you will be shocked at how bad many components are. These ''hot'' chemicals they applying love to eat Ice and METAL.

Remember the days when they use to plow the roads instead of putting this shit down.

Yes I do remember. Hell their are many towns that pre treat the road with liquid calcium before ,during and after the storm. They may even spread salt application to be sure and keep the treatments hot and active eating snow , ice .....and our vehicles.

I wonder what that shit does to the water and environment. I'm personally for the idea of using nothing or very little. Most people shouldn't be on the road when it snows. They suck at driving.
