00207 fluid film1/9/2024 ![]() ![]() Fluid Film also brings luster back to sunbaked coatings and helps prevent dirt and mud from caking on surfaces. With a high flashpoint and exceptional water displacement, Fluid Film is the perfect protectant for endless applications. Fluid Film is ideal for frame and chassis undercoating to protect from salts and brines on vehicles and trailers. It is nonconductive and will prevent corrosion on battery terminals.In harsh climates or conditions, Fluid Film will not readily freeze and retains a slick consistency, keeping chains and moving parts from binding or building up dirt and debris. Fluid Film works as a release agent on the underside of Lawnmower decks making clean up much easier. The formula is 100% solvent free and will not get gummy or tacky. Fluid Film provides excellent protection for metal components. But so far, its amazing.Fluid Film is a lanolin based, solvent free, rust and corrosion inhibitor as well as a penetrating lubricant. We will see in the long run, maybe its more wishful thinking. Preserved outside under snow waiting to be used like a old WW2 rifle lol. I just treated the Altima in my sig the other day. My Escalade undercarriage is beautiful now. ![]() ![]() I'm having that struggle with the Classic in my signature. Which is unfortunate because once you commit to oil its not easy to get the undercarriage clean. You may get a chip or 2 if the oil is built up with dirt. it dilutes the strength and hampers Cosmolines ability to creep into the rust layers. Its not really a good idea to combine the Cosmoline or any wax with oil. I never seem to get every last drop out of a FF can. The 11.75 FF cans you get at lowes are $10 ea. I buy a 9 pack of RP-342 12oz cans for $100 online. Its not that expensive if you shop around. The oil was moving around, but the buildup of dirt had absorbed the oil, allowing rust underneath. Under the soot so thick it looked like a bees nest was rusted rear brake lines in back. The first time I've ever lost the brakes while driving in the Classic in my sig which has been oiled for its entire life. Which is what happened to me 2 weeks ago. You can see if the rust is bleeding through or active. Which is good because you can see the results. ![]() Which means the sand and soot won't build up, water and snow won't wash it off, salt won't penetrate. It does get a little tacky, creep and self heal in hot summer weather. I'm in the 4th winter with RP-342 covering the Escalade undercarraige, and the only thing I'm doing at this point is touching up tiny spots I missed or required additional coats. After a couple of coats you're pretty much good for years. Powerful, long-lasting, universal, rust, corrosion preventive and lubricant. Gone is the smell, the mess, and the constant maintenance required using FF or oil. Fluid Film is a solvent free, lanolin based rust and corrosion inhibitor along with a penetrating lubricant. It provides excellent protection for metal components without becoming gummy or tacky. sited in the same location, we are at an advantage when it comes to supplying masonry products and accessories. With our sister company, Oneonta Block Co. We are the largest masonry supplier in the area. The difference between FF and Cosomline (I use RP-342) is night and day. Fluid Film is a lanolin based, solvent free, rust and corrosion inhibitor as well as a penetrating lubricant. In business since 1982, Pickett Building Materials has much to offer any contractor. It's pretty expensive though.and it won't creep into all tight spots like a fluid film would. What I'd like to do is buy some cosmoline and just touch up a few "heavy traffic areas" on my frame.that stuff goes on wet and dries into a pretty durable wax. The stuff doesn't dry out and clog the works which is nice. I store it all in a clean 5gal bucket with a lid so it's easy to grab when I need it. The nice thing about owning the spray gun kit is you can hit what ever areas you want as often as you want. The way I think about it, it's the stagnant areas that will sneak up on you and rust, so that's were these fluid/grease like coatings work their magic the best. Could there still be some magical zinc or whatever left behind like Krown claims? I have no idea. It's been maybe 5 weeks since I woolwaxed my Ram and like you say, i can see where areas that get directly blasted by water/mist would wear away in a matter of months or less. Not sure how woolwax is, but fluid film does tend to wash away.I don't consider it a full year application, it needs to be done twice a year in my opinion.īut it's been good to me as long as I reapply it twice a year. I like fluid film, but I don't exactly love it. ![]()
