Fluid Film

[Dexter10]

When I took delivery of mine i sprayed everything but the frame. As the oem stuff shares off I am slowly covering with FF

 

Anyone wanting affordable professional quality job pm me as I undercoat FF out of my shop. Have a two post lift and all the right tools to hit every nook and cranny.

Forgot to mention I am in the Portland Maine area. Pricing negotiable due to what we have already mentioned. Worst cast $125.

I bought a can of the Nox Rust. Works great when applied correctly. My problem is I shouldn't have to be doing this on a four month old truck. Every rock that hits the frame leaves a nick that ends up rusting.

 

I have been spraying over the wax with rustoleum semi flat black rust eliminator spray paint. It leaves a sort of shell over the the wax so dirt doesn't stick to it as well anymore making it easier to clean.

I know there are a ton of posts about frame rust and Fluid Film but I wanted to post my experience and to warn everyone. I like many others want to keep this truck a while. When I asked the sales rep at my dealer about the frame wax, he said to use Fluid Film... I also read both good and bad things on this forum. As the winter was fast approaching, I had to do something so went the FF route. Mostly just around where there were welds and holes in the frame. My friend has a 2014 with plenty of rust so I targeted specific areas that I saw on his truck. Well after one winter, here is the result. EDIT: Yes it was after using a regular garden hose nozzle for washing.

It just peels off like black latex. I know I took a chance, (and did see the warning on the can about possible effects on different undercoats) but was hoping it would just soften and then stay "fluidy"- not actually fall off. Don't get me wrong, FF is a great product and its GM's fault that they cheaped out on the frame wax. I have since ordered and applied the Amsoil HD Metal Protectant so we'll see how that goes.

 

I just wanted to get some solid evidence out there for others. Again, I am not bashing Fluid Film, just warning people not to use it on the frame.

Yeah you shouldnt spray it with a hose after applying FF. Granted, had you just left the factory wax alone, it would have still peeled like that, just that it would be rusty underneath as the wax flaked off. It's why I started spraying mine with FF to being with, the factory wax was flaking off just like that when new.
