    Curious what people are doing to get fluid film or under coating under the fender flares?

    I know they just trap moisture against the paint and the fluid film writes up I have read no one mentions much about underneath the fender flares.


    Thanks.

    I use CRC that is a marine rust protection product. I do a wash of the undercarriage. Let dry for a day or two then spray. 2016. No frame rust. No detectable rust in wheel wells either. FF a lot of people chose, I chose a marine product. Good luck. It’s not Friday so this will explode with comments and option. Cheers

    I pulled the fender liners and sprayed the backside. Doing it in the hot sun will get the fluid film nice and liquidy and it will seep past the holes for the clips and to the other side.

    Go to Dirty7's and you just cut the fender at the flare edge...
