Fluid Film Question

[tdb729]

Here's what Fluid Film messaged me in regards to using it on my 2015 Sierra:

Thank you for your interest in Fluid Film! We do not recommend Fluid Film be placed over your existing undercoating because it may soften and lift the wax. However, the wax undercoating usually start to fail after a few winters due to brine exposure and when that time comes, Fluid Film is a great alternative! If you have any further questions please don’t hesitate to ask. Best Regards, -Fluid Film Team

Good stuff, thanks for the comments.  I'll pick up a few cans and get to it.

Anyone else have a problem with an overwhelming smell coming from inside the vehicle after treating with Fluid Film?  My only thought is it's coming form the door panels since I sprayed it up in the bottom or the drain hole t the bottom and removed the plug towards the top and sprayed from there too.  Now it is almost so strong you don't want to get in and can't air out since it's trapped in the door panel?   So much for keeping the new car smell...

That will go away after a few days...you should smell one done in gear oil...

Bumping this because I finally jumped on board and did the car and truck this weekend. I'm wondering if the smell inside goes away for sure? The truck I'm not so worried about, but the car only has ~35k miles on it and still smelled like new car/ leather ( I don't use air fresheners, just keep the car clean), and now it smells like dirty socks and barnyard. I have the car sitting outside with the windows down and ~30* degrees outside to air it out. I'm hoping that the stink subsides.

Ya, it stinks! It’s made from sheep’s wool or something.

give it 10 days or so and it will pretty much go away.

AMSOIL has HD Metal Protector. It works really well.

I had fluid film sprayed and found the same thing...any place that gets road spray it washed off after a while. The heavy bodies stuff lasts longer than the thinner stuff, but it does eventually wash off, but so does oil (which is what I use). The trick is to find a dusty dirt road after you get it done, the dust sticks to the film/oil and gives it body which better resists being washed off.

I'm torn to say use it in body panels...they spray the heavy bodied fluid film in my doors when I had it done and it plugged the drain holes (rear passenger door filled with water). The thin stuff might be better in this instance...

I'm hoping that Fluid Film would work well in seams, pinch welds and general rust areas. 
I have lower door seams that are starting to rust, I'm wondering if I was to coat inside the door shell, if it would seap in and help?
