Rust prevention - fluid film

Hello all, 1st post on TW. I own a '16 sport DCSB and I live in the midwest. When applying fluid film, is there anywhere I should stay away from? Or is it just an anywhere I want to spray it type thing (1st time messing with this stuff). Wasnt sure if there were any sensitive areas/parts that are a no-go

Thanks in advance!

 

You can spray it on just about anything but natural rubbers. I spray my entire frame a couple times a year because I'm in the snow belt.

 

I'd stay away from your armpits.

 

Stay away from armpits: check

 

Wear eye protection when applying and old clothes.

 

Might want to avoid the windshield & interior.

 

wear a mask. shit smells like a mix of vomit and my girlfriend's cat's litterbox

 

When you say natural rubbers are you speaking of any/all the rubber components under the vehicle? I also use fluid film, but it's almost impossible to keep it off all rubber, gaskets, and caulk on the frame/underbody. Even if avoided this stuff eventually drips on everything.

 

You should be fine. Lanolin based lubricants can penetrate natural rubbers that aren't oil-resistant. I'm not a chemical engineer, but I think most of the stuff on our trucks should be oil resistant.

 

^^^ That... shit gets all over specially when you're laying upside down on the ground and spraying over your head.... old clothes and eye protection then take a shower after.

 

What part of the Midwest? I'm from MN and want to have this done as well.

 

Stay away from the exhaust system and your engine when your under there. Goodluck

 

I couldnt see through my saftey glasses when i finished

 

I would recommend ramps if you are doing on the ground and a good respirator for your lungs. I would give your frame a good pressure wash and let it dry, before you apply F.F. to prep it.
