![]() ![]() In the cold the surface gets pretty hard so salt, sand, grit beads up and rinses off with water. Its self healing, flows good during application. Its a military grade cosmoline wax in a spray can. I moved on from FF to a product called RP-342. They use a lot of salt and sand on the hills around here which makes working under the truck horrible. In my NH winter conditions thats not desirable. Another negative (IMO) about oil based sprays is how they stay wet and sticky, attracting sand, dirt, grit like flypaper. It softens the coating to the point it rubs off just putting your finger on it exposing bare metal. If its a new(er) GM truck with the factory wax still somewhat intact don't use oil based sprays like Fluid Film. The fluid film works so well for me I will stick with it. I have never used any other rustproofing method. The flow valve on the sprayer will need adjusting to get the spray pattern you want. I used the extension wand to spray inside the frame rail "mockup", then opened it up and checked the spray pattern. For spraying inside the closed box frame rails, I folded and taped cardboard into a rectangular tube the same size as my frame rail. ![]() If you live in the " road salt rust belt " this is a must have for an older vehicle. This is so much fun I have sprayed friends trucks if they buy the Fluid Film. The only surface prep was washing under the truck with a car wash wand and letting it dry a few days. The beauty of Fluid Film is that it goes right over existing rust and soaks in, making the rust itself a corrosion barrier. I just had to wait for the pressure to build up a few times. A larger compressor would be better, but, this worked OK. I powered the sprayer with an ancient air compressor rated at 4.5 CFM at 70 PSI. I got the kit, read the instructions a few times, watched some Youtube videos, then did a perfect, professional rustproofing job the first time. I have a 20+ year old truck which was falling apart due to rust. I purchased this kit directly from the maker, so, I am not a verified buyer. When it comes to preventing, removing and stopping existing rust, there are only really two product lines to use: Rusted Solutions Rust Removers and Xtroll Rust Conqueror… 3 rust treatment products tested to remove, prevent and stop rust.Here is my review on the Fluid Film Pro Gun The products tested from Rusted Solutions did exactly what the said they would do. We recently did some testing on a few Australian Made rust removal treatments and the results were outstanding. Now I think everyone has fallen into this trap at some stage or another and yes, it’s better than doing nothing, but there are better and more effective rust treatment products out there… Testing rust treatment products that remove and stop rust. In years gone by, when things started to rust, or when rust prevention was needed, it seemed the only way to slow it down was to get messy with the good old “Fish Oil and Lanolin”, or so called “Anti Rust Paint”, and a heap of elbow grease. Rust is just one of those problems that won’t magically go away by itself, and when its ignored, it slowly turns into a much bigger and more expensive problem. Knowing how to remove, prevent and stop rust is a never-ending challenge.
