How to Fluid Film your 3rd Gen

They won't clog. I've had Fluid Film seeping out of my weep holes on hot days since I first applied it in 2016.

 

good to know, i'll spray a bit up there when i reapply in a week or 2

 

I like this idea. I have a 360 degree sprayer attachment for my cans of CRC Heavy Duty/fluid film combo.

 

Remove the tail lights to spray in above rear wheel wells, preferably with a extension. If not just fog it in!

 

Thanks!!! And for the fronts do you suggest making a hole?

 

Reach in from the engine bay with a wand or extension also

Good stuff! Northern VT as well. Thanks!

 

Been thinking about waxoyl if my truck every happens just getting crazy pricing so far checking around.

 

Only thing I would ever use FF on again would be inside doors, dfenders or rockers. I would probably use something similar that didn't stink as much though. I did my undersside of my 4Runner one time and after a couple car washes it was gone. IMO the Amsoil heavy duty MP is so much better and lasts an entire winter. Only problem is it only comes in an aerosol can.

 

Just ordered the 12 can woolwax kit, we’ll see how it goes. Had it factory undercoated but I’ve changed so much stuff it definitely needs coating again. I definitely wasn’t ready for winter this soon, but I say that every year…

 

So I just got this and waiting until a sunny weekend to drive one wheel on a ramp and start spraying away! Will be interesting to see how it works over the winter with the salty roads: https://www.kbs-coatings.com/cavity-coater.html

 

This has probably been asked somewhere but is there any place that should not be sprayed? Cv axels ok?

 

You can spray everything underneath with Fluid Film. Just try to avoid the exhaust.

 

Yes avoid the exhaust. Not only will it burn off anyway, but it will stink to high heaven in the process.

 

I just went the woolwax route. But did it with compressor and quart jugs. It comes out thick and stays thick. Really easy, but time consuming to do. Going to hit it again in the spring to retrace myself because there are so many spots that I probably missed the first round, and I was meticulous and thorough.

 

Meticulous is good! I’ve been running the truck through the car was every day getting ready to do it. Every time I look under it I see another place that could get cleaner before the film goes on. I should probably stop being so OCD about getting it so clean underneath and just do it. Not a lot of nice days left. Also waiting for the oil to get here for all the gearboxes. I’d hate to wrench on it right after there’s a fresh coat of film on everything.

 

Oh, yeah. This stuff is slick and slippery. Waiting to do until after you have done the differentials and transfer case is a smart idea. it will get all over you otherwise.

 

Yeah I went to spray mine last weekend only to realize there is so much left from last years. 60/40 on whether to crawl under and pressure wash it off or leave old on for the season.

 

Save your money and use cosmoline…
