Fluid Film works. I have used it personally. It's pretty easy to DIY.
B'laster Surface Shield is supposed to be awesome. I haven't used it. |

Don't forget the tailgate and rockers.

LPS3 and Fluid Film.
Ultimately, driving a sacrificial salt belt vehicle is your best option. |

Fluid Film or Wool Wax.
If you own an air compressor buy it in a one gallon can, plus this and a tarp to protect your driveway. Put on some old clothes and go to town. Once gallon will cover a full size pickup. Take off the wheel well liners and any plastic trim to Ensure that you get under it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008RPZWLC?tag=arfcom00-20 The stuff may be too thick to spray. If so, heat it up in the microwave before applying. Your vehicle will stink like wet sheep for a week or so but eventually the smell goes away. |

Another vote for Woolwax.
If you're up to two steps spraying with motor oil first will really get into the nooks and crannies, then Woolwax a week or so later gives everything a nice heavy coating. For something really thick but a little harder to get into some spots I like CRC Heavy Duty Corrosion Inhibitor ~ I like to keep a couple of cans of this handy to hit random exposed spots/crevices whenever I'm working on a vehicle. ETA: don't be shy about drilling an inconspicuous hole here or there if it helps you get behind a panel or inside a door. |

fluid film seems popular here. might give it a try on my truck, but wondering if anyone's had issues with it attracting dirt? just a thought.

Quote HistoryQuoted: LPS3 and Fluid Film. Ultimately, driving a sacrificial salt belt vehicle is your best option. A youtube channel I follow has been doing a lot of rust inhibitor testing, and the LPS3 held up the best, even in direct sun exposure. It beat out cosmoline, which really couldn't stand up to the sun. It's more expensive, but I'll be buying it. |

Which why you use waste oil and spray it underneath the vehicle. Drive down a dirt road and your done.
The fluid film washed off in one winter on my F-350. Only drove it 500 miles. Stuff is way to thin. Maybe inside panels but not on a exposed frame or floor pan. |

Fluid Film.
Don't forget to open the garage doors and wear some breath things.

Quote HistoryQuoted: You may have done it wrong or applied it too thin Been undercoating cars for 30 years or more. 20 in the body shops. Believe me it was dripping off. Applied it 3 months before winter and the truck sat in the yard over 2 months. Driving through heavy slush, snow and rain took 80% of it off. Have to redo the truck before winter this year. Problem is with Fluid crap on there. How do you cover over it? Whatever I put on there won't stick because of the film crap. NOT going to waste my time or money putting more Fluid Film on it just to have to redo it again in a couple months. Worst undercoating I've ever used. Try a small area first before coating the whole truck. See if it holds up for driving in your area. |

Huh, that sucks Upstate NY winters are a mess, and my truck lives on the beach at the surf line all summer, ten years and no rust. But it’s dirty underneath. I apply FF every year, and while it’s messy I’m also rust free. |
