I accidentally left out an important tip, and that is to clean off any existing dirt and rust from your frame, then apply the fluid film. Also, if you just do not have the time, you can still apply the fluid film this time, as it still will help, and get to cleaning and/or wire brushing those spots on the frame next time.

This channel has been a real asset to me, as far as caring for my JL. Add this to the list of DYI projects for me.

Great video! Undercoating is a very often forgotten part of maintenance. 👌

Hey Dino, excellent video, again !!!
Man, you are the real jewel to the Jeepers community, with all the ideas, how-to-dos, tricks and tips, money savings etc.
Also, many THANKS for mentioning me in your video for the subscribers tips. 😀
Not sure if I missed the info but can you repeat how often would be needed to re-apply the Fluid Film?
I got "tricked" by the stealership here in my town, when I bought my new JL to add the undercoating and seats stain protections (at hefty cost)... While seat protection was apparent gimmick immediately and that stain protection DOES NOT work (or they never applied it but said they did), the undercoating and rust protection was a big surprise for me when I went underneath my Jeep changing my front bumper... They applied it, literally randomly covering some spots and missing others... Looks like someone just squatted and sprayed the Jeep from sides without even going under it... Pointed that to the service manager and was told, if I get them to lift my Jeep with the Mopar lift kit, they will redo the coating "for free"...
I am going to Princess Auto tomorrow (my favorite Canadian store) and getting the supplies, spraying going on in a week or two, and not only because it is cheaper, but more importantly, because I will make sure every square inch is covered... Luckily, I have the compressor already...
Thanks again, keep the channel growing and cheers, Nash

You made it look easy!! Krown proofing in my neck of the woods (Ottawa) is $139. $90 is a deal! $35 definitely makes DIY worthwhile.
Thank you sir!!

[WLDCHLD]

Nice work Dino, another to do on my list. It's endless haha. Great video as always sir!

[gammaboxer]

Great little DIY project, Dino. Might as well add that to the list of things to do to the FJ. Cheers

Great job love fluid film live in pa with heavily salted roads all winter this product has saved many a car for me.

[diggindrums]

A have a JL. You can fluid film from the bottom of the doors through the water holes. A can of FF with the red straw works great for this. Also, a couple holes are behind the foam on the hinge side of the rear doors. You need to remove the foam to get to the holes. A small plastic pry bar worked great to pull on the plastic clips. Did my best to aim behind the hinges. Fluid Film helps against Aluminum corrosion as well so I hit as much as I could. I also sprayed through the holes under the hood. Tried to hit the underside of the hinges as much as possible. The hood has a lot of access holes underneath. Since Fluid Film creeps it's a good feeling to know that it's spreading rather than rust.

Nice video. I think in the next week weeks, i'm going to tackle this on my Jeep

[Ballen]

I would have treated all the existing rust by wire brushing the rust then using a phosphoric acid to convert the rust. Then, I would spray the fluid film on top of the treated metal to prevent further rusting.

Great information, thank you for sharing. A jeep newbie here, I didn't rustproof my jeep from the dealership for obvious reasons and was thinking of getting it done just before winter. Wondering if I should do it myself after watching this!

[rodneyavery]

I use Fluid Film its $45 / gallon. I purchased the gun to apply. I have a lift so it's easy to do. This lasts a long time on areas that are concealed but needs to be applied annually on the areas that are exposed. The gun comes with hoses to get inside the frame and body parts. Best time to do it is when the vehicle is new other wise clean the frame best you can.

[randyfisher]

Do you have a video on how to spray inside the doors, hood, tailgate rockers and inner cavities? Thanks for the videos.

[manojsaxena]

Dino...loving your videos...
Couple of quick suggestions from a learner: 1. It would really be very helpful if you could provide links to the products that you used. 2. This is a privacy thing - Your amazon screen prints show your name and postal code...

[RamaCorzano]

That was a great episode thanks for the video . I’m getting a new jeep and I’m wondering if from the start would it be better to first sand any rust areas and then spray rustoleum rust inhibitor followed by that rustoleum paint stuff to cover it all and then do the fluid stuff you put on or would that be overkill ?

[jpmortician]

Great videos, thank you. I don't have a compressor, can I just spray it on with the can itself ?

[LuisPerez-]

Thanks Dino... Will be trying these products for sure next spring on my JL; would you apply this every year of based on KM driven... thanks...
BTW nice hair style :-) ...

[SakimikeRenehan]

I'm surprised you didn't wire brush some of the rust and other dirt prior to spraying.

[henrybucki]

when you spray the inside of the doors .i would think glass should be up or you will coat the glass with spray
