Fluid Film?

Anyone have any experience or reviews for this oil spray for undercoating? Does it collect a ton of dust and dirt? How long does it last?

 

quite a bit of discussion on it. Good info too. Lots of posts so searching in this thread will give you plenty of info...

 

Yep, this.


Look at the bottom of this page at the similar threads.

 

Thanks guys

 

It's great stuff. Dust will stick to it but that's a small price to pay for the protection you get from it. It should be applied yearly.

I use it mostly for lubricating.
We have a HEAVY double-pane sliding patio/kitchen door that has to be lubed about every month. I've used most everything I can find and Fluid Film is the only thing that works and lasts.
Just give it a spray on the wheel/axles and it lasts for almost a year and door can be slid with just a finger.

 

I sprayed my undercarriage when new in 13'. I don't have a spec of corrosion on it after going through the lousy Midwest winter we had last year. I apply spring and fall now. Do it.

 

Does everything stick to it though? I'm thinking of taking my baby to the dunes and I'm wondering if my frame is going to be caked in sand. Not that I can't clean it but I am curious.

 

Yes, grime will stick to it but it also washes off over time. That's why you need to do it every year. It will not stick to the point that your frame looks like nothing but dirt and sand.

When I look at my frame, I can't see the dirt/ grime until I get up close. It's been on for 8 mo.

 

I used to use it as a wax and rub it onto the chrome bumper to protect it. It worked well in that regard. Never coated my frame because I didn't want grime to stick to it and get caked in crap whenever I had to crawl under the truck to work on it. This year, I'll be applying Amsoil HDMP to my frame. It's supposed to protect the metal but dry with a waxy texture that won't collect dirt and grime.

 

FF is like moisturizer for metal. It needs to be re-applied depending on how much water it's exposed to. Been using it for 2 years now and I love it. It will attract dirt if you expose it to a lot of dust, etc, but it keeps protecting. I swear by it and have turned a lot of friends on to it.

 

Going by Amsoil msds a feller could buy some mineral spirits, some No2 fuel oil, and some naptha and save a bundle!

Good stuff but attracts dirt and grime.

 

Thompson's Water sealer is my choice. Sprayed on with a spray gun, it will coat everything and when dry, not a speck of dirt will stick to it.

Water beads right off the metal.

 

I sprayed my new 2015 Tacoma with only 200 miles. I was not happy the spray did not dry just stayed oily. After a few days I went down a dirt road the underside was coated with sand and dirt. So much for the waxy coating.Ron

 

If it drys it's toxic ware a mask.

 

Toyota 09 Don't try it. Try something that wont attract dirt. FYI. Ron

Put FF on my 2013 frame last spring when I bolted up my sliders (sprayed bare frame, back of slider plates, then everything once bolted together). The frame looks black, has some dirt but it's not what you're probably thinking. It's not like dropping your peanut butter and toast face down in the dirt. The oily-ish finish isn't really a bother to me. It doesn't just goo all over anything that touches it. At this point, I'll keep using it.
