Mavcoat Honest review for undercarriage Protection Needed! I'm

Sweet! So u actually used mavcoat, did u use just one can? And can u tell the film that was applied?

 

Yeah I head about that too

 

Yes. Have it covering my new components right now. Have only used one can so far. I have gotten multiple applications from it too. Still some left. It covers great.
I have been happy with it so far.

 

Thought about getting CRC too.

 

My suggestion is get a can of each (FF, MC, CRC) and do a test area. Go with what you thought gave you the best results.

 

Yeah I was thinking of getting it. So what would u prefer if price isn't an issue, FF OR MAVCOAT? For the whole coverage of ur under carriage

 

I can really only speak of FF for year round coverage right now. I have been impressed with how it does through all of the elements.
So far from what I have seen with the MC, it seems like it does the job.
As I mentioned, FF is more readily available when I need it too. If I find that I am running out, I will grab a can.
FF can be applied with a spray gun and compressor too. That makes a great selling point also.

 

Whatever you use, it's equally if not more important to coat the inside of the frame as well, not just the outside. There are small holes along the frame that you can insert a tube into and spray inside it. These frames are notorious for rotting from the inside out, just because you don't see rust doesn't mean it isn't there.

 

Yeah I know how FF is super affordable and it's pretty much every where in tirms of getting it in ur local hard wear store. But that's awesome th

 

I totally agree with u man! I might use FF just for the insides for the frame. The main reasons why I wanted to use mavcoat is I don't want to spray FF all over my brand new kings once I installed them. I wanted a cleaner look but have the best protection yet

 

Maybe do what I am doing with it.....FF = frame/big parts. MC = components/suspension
Just an idea.

 

Yes. Totally agree. The inside is the most important area.

 

U know what's funny I was just thinking about that lol

 

The MC is cleaner than FF, that I will tell you for sure.

 

yeah might go with MC..pricy but less messy

 

Oh yeah....one more thing about FF/MC. There is a reaction when you spray the FF on anything rusty. It kind of bubbles for a while then looks like a glazed donut. Not sure there is a rust inhibitor in it, but that may be something to think about too.
I usually get under there with a wire wheel before a FF hose down.

 

Wait... Mc does that too?

 

No, the FF does. Not sure if there is some kind of rust inhibitor in it, but it does fizz a bit when it is sprayed on rust metal.
MC does not, but it does coat very well also.

 

From the FF website:

FLUID FILM is manufactured using an intricate heating and blending process, which combines unrefined woolwax with selective polar agents and corrosion inhibitors, creating a unique, lanolin-based formulation that stops existing rust on contact. Penetrating on contact, it creates a fluid, self-healing barrier that is always active and will not chip or crack, protecting vehicle undercoating’s and exposed metals for extended periods of time. Safe for use on all metals, it will stop pitting in chrome, will not harm most paints or plastic, and has exceptional lubricating properties, penetrating to stop squeaks and provide lasting lubricity for all moving parts. Electrically non conductive, FLUID FILM has a high flash point and a thin, flexible composition, making it a perfect protectant for battery terminals and electrical connections.

 

From the MC website:

• Waterproofs and prevents rust on all indoor and outdoor metal surfaces including electrical contacts
• Proven corrosion prevention in Automotive, Aviation, Marine, Industrial, and Household applications
• Lubricates and protects mechanisms and any metal to metal contacts
• Dries to a clean, waterproof, tenacious film removed only by aggressive scrubbing or solvent
• Will not harm paint, plastic, rubber or vinyl
