    I purchased my 2019 SR5 access cab brand new. As soon as I took delivery I fluid filmed the frame, cavities, and anything exposed underneath as well as removed all the rocker plugs and blasted with a 360 hose using about 8 cans.

    The following spring I power washed the underside and noticed the fluid film held up pretty good. The following fall I purchased the Wool Wax pro gun and 3 gallons of the stuff. Went to town again and used about 2 gun bottles full. Same thing. Hit everything and inside all crevices.

    This spring I power washed the crap out of it. Drove it all summer. Last weekend I power washed it heavy under there again. Today I got it up on ramps to hit it again with Wool Wax.

    Before I started I checked it over good. It looked amazing. No rust anywhere and there was still so much Wool Wax left I honestly did not need to coat it again. But I Did.

    I live in Massachusetts and had some serious snow and lots of salt and brine. So those who say it washes off too easy didn't put it on heavy enough to begin with or didn't really check it out good under there.

    I not only went through the winter. I power washed it heavy twice, spring then fall. And it's was still coated. Good stuff!

    And I know I read some 2019 models and up have no zerks. I have 2. Front shaft u-joints. So check for them when you are under there.

    Same here. I apply it once a year, and it has stayed coated each time. I generally take it through a car wash when it gets unbearably dirty, and they have
    the under-body pressure wash. There are a few bolt heads, and a couple of welds, that have some surface rust, but it is 98% rust free, and that's after three winters of salt. That reminds me... it's time for another coat.

    The only downside is that it's very messy to work on, but I'd rather have that than rust.
