Tips & Tricks Guide
made from thousands of previous applications,
curated to guide you in protecting your vehicle.
PRE-APPLICATION
Before applying the Fluid Film to the surface,
here are the tips you need to know:
1.Do all your maintenance before you spray or apply the Fluid Film to avoid mess.
2.It can have a distinct aroma. If you've ever been around sheep and their wool, that's the smell. But don't fret, it goes away quickly (2-3 days).
3.Ideally suited for the frame or any metal parts underneath and inside the rails, rockers, jams, etc. where it’s not easily going to get blown off by water.
4.Best used car undercoating, especially for winter and salty roads that cause rust (especially in the Midwest region). Be winter-ready with Fluid Film!
5.Great for non-rusty vehicles, this would be easier to spray on the frame or other metal for better protection.
6.Survived a salt spray test for over 100 hours.
7. Store the fluid film at room temperature.
8.Fluid film has many uses, not just for preserving auto metals from rust. It can also work great for firearms and fishing reels. It is made from lanolin, which is safe on all materials.
APPLICATION
Spray time! Here are the tips on how to
spray your kit accordingly:
1.Best applied in warm weather, so it will adhere on the surface very well.
2.Better keep a tarp under the car to avoid stains on the driveway.
3.Red straw doesn't work great and causes a mess. It creates too much backpressure. It leaks out of the depressor nozzle everywhere.
4.Careful where to spray, can cause a short-circuit to transmission sensors. Don't spray mufflers and other things that heat up; it will smell. Don't spray on brake pads or brake rotors; your stopping power will be reduced.
5.Make sure to hold the body of the hose correctly for control, so it will not go anywhere and cause a total mess.
6.Avoid double coating or overspray of the Fluid Film; it can cause dripping and will make the application messy.
7.Works as soon as applied, hearing it "fiz" as it penetrates the porous steel and protects from future rusting.
8. Fluid Film has a unique feature: once sprayed the product creeps and is self-spreading.
9.Can be sprayed even when held upside down.
10.Works well for staying even on top of corrosion around parts that need to move. This is a lubricant that sticks to surfaces without being waxy and seals out air and water.
11.The black color makes the rusted surface look better, shiny, and new than the clearish-tan shade of regular Fluid Film.
12.Proper application on a pickup truck (inside and out of frame, and any exposed steel) can take about 3/4 hours without prep or cleaning.
13.“Non-toxic” and can be used indoors.
14.Fluid Film can get messy, but it easily cleans off with just a microfiber cloth.
POST-APPLICATION
Wait! It's not over yet! Maintaining the Fluid Film is crucial. Here are the tips on how to take good care of the Fluid Film on your vehicle:
1.Fluid Film never dries. It leaves a wet, non-drying film that will provide a long term corrosion protection for all metals and superior lubrication for all moving parts. Wet and sticky nature helps collect dust. But dust is better than rust.
2.Fluid Film protection is just temporary. It does not last forever; it depends on your environment.
3.Adds a durable, but removable, coating that really protects the vehicle from rust.
4.Fluid Film keeps a boundary layer between your car and the road salts.
5.Fluid Film is made of lanolin, which will make the surface waterproof. It's lanolin that sticks to the metal, keeps water from getting in, and seals out moisture. It also keeps moisture and corrosive road salt away from the metal.
6.High-pressure washing and heavy rain can shorten the life of the coating.
7.The majority of Fluid Film stays on the vehicle for over a year (if properly taken care of).
8.Apply at least once a year to avoid rust recurrence and enjoy a rust-free vehicle.
9.Fluid Film preserves old, rusted vehicles.
10.Slows down the “cancer” that’s already happening on a vehicle (an already rusted vehicle). You can add years to the car’s life by spraying the frame with Fluid Film.
11.Unreturnable because it's flammable.
