Winterizing tip

Does the undercarrage need to be clean before applying this stuff?

It does help to have it pressure washed and dry- but honestly Fluid Film is designed to penetrate into the pores of the material it is being applied to.

I don't wash it, although it obviously doesn't hurt. I spray the heck out of everything

I didn't know you could pick this up from Napa or Lowes. I rotated the tires on my Mazda 6 last night and got a big suprise. It will be really hard to coat my undercarriage. It is almost all covered by plastic/aero shielding.

My local Lowes stores have the spray cans, not sure about the gallons.

My local NAPA has the gallons, not sure about the spray cans.

Id take a common sense approach to it....where you think dirt/sand/salt would "hide" as the car is driven even if you washed it afterwards. Then aim for coating those areas.

My new pickup truck has rear wheel well liners and that was a huge problem spot for rust in my old truck, but Im planning on removing the liners anyway so I can spray behind/around them, then reinstall them. I figure since stuff cant get to it to actually wear it off, a good coating of FluidFilm/CorrosionFree/whatever should last a good long time.

If you have a GM truck with the wax frame coating do not spray the frame with fluid film. It will melt the wax coating off.
