    I saw you have a peg board in the back, would you know where to buy hangers for the peg board?

    I must be slow and challenged . I do not see a link that does more than pumping fluid film into a smaller bottle from the link a while back .

    I just did my 17 with fluid film aerosol cans last weekend. Figured I would start the preventive maintenance early.

    I wish I knew about Fluid Film when I bought my truck and think this should be standard when new, seeing how Tacoma frames are prone to frame rot, especially where calcium chloride is used on roads.

    We were just reminded what rain looks like. Had some nice thunder and lightning about a week ago. Snow however, I think I saw it once when I was about 10 years old and we drove to Big Bear. Other than that, nope.

    Closest we have ever come to "snow" was hail last year

    this stuff looks amazing,,,a must have for those of us that have to deal with road salt..

    i have one question,,lets say after weeks of serious snow and road salt is it better to continuously wash the underbelly of your truck or just leave it alone and wait till spring and wash it all off and then recoat it?

    i wanna know if i try and powerwash the salt off will i wash away the fluid film i put on there?

    Really? I actually thought it worked really well. Yeh you gotta pump it a handful of times but this stuff is so thick I couldn't imagine the mess trying to pour it into a 1.75" opening into the smaller bottles for the gun. Just my opinion.

    Can fluid film be applied onto wet surfaces? I washed my truck tonight but with the weather not sure it will dry by tomorrow.
