Fluid Filming Frame

Initially watched several U tube videos on fluid film I thought was interesting but not sure how well it would work.
Well today i purchased a 10 doll hair can of landolin and landolined the F#$% out of it. Its gonna need a priest, a nun, and a rabbi to un landolin itself now.
Ive heard some say frames dont last forever, well i think those just ones that didnt fluid film their frame.

But seriously, I think this fluid film might be the best option for my situation short of an entirely new frame.

 

Fluid Film is awesome at preventing corrosion. It's halfway decent at slowing down existing corrosion. It does nothing at all to replace the strength of your frame when it's corroded.

 

If you are speaking of the frame you pictured in this thread https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/taco-frame-repairable.767434/ there is no chemical in the world that will matter.

 

Yes Fluid Film is the best, I spray it all over my undercarriage every year to keep my frame from rotting. It works really well on keeping your undercarriage rust free.

Like the frame Bill showed that’s too long gone for anything but if you use Fluid Film every year your frame would never get that bad.
I look at it as a preventative maintenance.

 

Woolwax is better fluid film washes off way too easily. Cosmoline is even stronger

 

I live in Maine-
I've got a '99 tacoma I bought in Florida about 8 years ago from florida, and we fluid film all of our vehicles (family wide, ~15 vehicles, about 5 gallons of the stuff) EVERY fall.

That '99 tacoma has less rust than ANY 2019+ vehicle on the road up here.
We see trucks needing rocker panels at 5 years old around here, my little '99 tacoma doesn't have ANY rust. The frame is dirty, but looks factory new. The body panels are dirty, and the paint is faded from the florida years, but they're factory solid. The only time I've ever broken a nut/bolt on it was trying to remove a heat shield from the exhaust- where no product would survive.

I'm thinking there are likely better products out there- but Fluid Film is incredible, and as long as you keep up on it and re-apply once a year, it'll add decades of life to a vehicle, even in the "rust belt", where those southern folk think they see more rust than I do

My wife drives a Yaris- you won't get nearly as much time in a unibody, since you can't easily spray inside and out like you can with a framed vehicle. It's still lasting longer than other unibody vehicles around here- but there is some rust/rot in the rear end coming from the inside/trunk area.


YMMV- wife HATES the smell of fluid film, compares it to cat urine or transmission fluid.
I don't mind it so much- the best part is after a full day of spraying it on your fleet, it actually feels good on your skin... instead of drying it out.

 

It’s not perfect but fluid film is a great option
