Vehicle is a 15 F150 that resides in "upstate" NY and used for a good amount of winter travel in VT & NH mountain regions. I had it on a lift for a trans service and rust is ok but certainly present in 8th year of life. Truck has been a gem so far and used as a family travel vehicle. It's actually pristine overall, especially compared to my 17 Outback that is our daily driver. That car gets beat! I'm looking to keep this pig for another 10 years if I can. So far the only long term issue would be frame rust. I looked into some treatments and never had a solid feeling, especially at the cost.
I used my friends lift (he is a full time mechanic with a shop) and I asked him is thoughts on what we had for rust. He told me his friend owns a Fluid Film side hustle and he could get me a full treatment for $200 his cost. So now I'm thinking this is a no brainer. I have used Fluid Film spray for my workshop (Delta 10" tablesaw; 8" jointer; bandsaw; etc...) and it is a good product.
I'm asking if the product works in a vehicle undercarriage application and asking if it needs to be done from the start or if it works well even after some rust has set in. I always remember another friend who owns a body shop who tell customers he can't fix rust and that rust can be slowed but rust will eventually win. Additionally, is thre any performance difference between the clear and the black?
