A fellow member asked for a little more info on it and the process, so this is a quick down and dirty explanation of it.
The basics are...fluid film is basically lanolin oil...a few other companies make similar product which is made from lanolin oil.
You need at the minimum of a standard undercoating gun or one of the pro undercoating guns(which come with an adjustable spray tip and different length "wands" aka hoses for the end of the gun to shove into all the cavities. I like to pull the taillights and get it in deep...above the wheel wells, wands are epecially nice for the fords fully boxed frame rails, and drain plug holes of rocker panels,cab corners,doors bed rails..ya get the jist of it.
DO NOT attemp to use any other type of spray gun other than a undercoating gun, also called a schultz gun, as the pressures in a non undercoating gun can cause blow up in your hand/face.
You need an air compressor that will push at aminimum of 5-8cfm at 90psi for the fluid film to automize...or basically spray properly.
A gallon of product will do your standard size pickup truck.
Fluid film will never harden...so therefore road salt and water can not penetrate through or get behind it and become trapped...which will lead to rust, and the continuation the rusting process due to moisture always being able to be present. Thats one reason lanolin oil is so great as an undercoating.
It sprays on yellow but will then turn clear. They also now make it in the color black, but ive never tried that one.
