    Morning everybody,

    Idk how or why, but Im getting some rust on my truck, primarily the LCAs, but some other places have started catching some. I was wondering what yall would recommend for this. Theres no road salt where Im from, but I do drive on the beach every once in a while, and I do get in the mud when its around. Would yall recommend I spray flui film under my truck or some other kind of oil spray? Should I hit my LCAs with some paint before? Wouldn't the sand and what not get stuck on the FF? It does look like it would be sticky.

    Wire brush and fluid film. Get off what you can and keep it coated. Painting it wonldnt hurt either

    Ok, so would sand paper be bad? I have some and would rather use that over going out and buying a wire brush, then again they aint expensive.

    A wire wheel on a drill is the best

    Until it catches on something and skips over and chews through the rubber boot on your ball joint.
