Can you post the cost/time when you get it done? I’m on the South Coast and want to do the same when I finally pick up my Jeep.Just bought a new Jeep and hope to keep for awhile. Anywhere in Southcoast MA do Fluid Film?

Is it recommend that you don't have your undercarriage washed when going through a car wash?
I would imagine that it would wash off the fluid film.

Just saw this thread and your post. If you still have your tacoma keep an eye on that frame. Toyota did the undercoating “fix” on mine and within 1.5 years the frame had the same rot issues. I was still within the time frame of them replacing frames but Toyota said they were not going to because they already coated the frame. Turned into a huge fight and finally got fixed under the class action settlement. I believe they changed their rules and will replace the frame now if the undercoating fails though. My friends a Toyota tech and said the coatings all bullshit to push the can down the road hoping you dont have the truck by the time it fails.Totally not completely on topic but near the topic......
Toyota just did the frame and under coat of my 2015 tacoma for free. Seems it's part of their "retribution" for previous frame rot and rust issues lol. They sent me a letter when the truck turned 6 years old and said it needed to be brought to a Toyota dealer for frame inspection and treatment. I took it to Rockingham toyota.....they gave me a loaner car for free and had the truck for 4 days. They de scale the frame Inside and out.....then apply what the paperwork says is wax and oil rust inhibitor.....the oil stuff is applied inside the frame with some specialized equipment. Anyway.....it was completely free.....and with this completed if the frame rots before the truck is 15 years old they will replace the frame. All was done no charge and they gave me a loaner.
I know tacomas had some frame rust issues pre 2005 but I was under the impression they solved that by using drain channels in the full box frame sections. Anyway......I'm actually glad they did all of it for free. I was expecting the service manager to hand me the list of "urgent" repairs they found during the inspection like most dealerships do when you come back for a recall.....but nope......he just gave me the paperwork for the rust inhibitor work and off I went.
If you only used a quart or two what you sprayed isn’t doing crapola.Depends on how thick you apply it. When I did my Tacoma in 2020, I used two quarts of Woolwax-stayed on through the winter and then some regardless of washes. Doing my Ram in 2021, I only used one quart-It was gone from the undercarriage in the spring.
I'll spray it on thicker this year.

Your truck. Your happiness.Disagree.
Spray around it. It will still smoke some.I used cans of fluid film on my wife’s truck last year, but a 5 gal bucket is only $200. Do you guys just cover the exhaust and go for broke spraying everything else?
I do the NHOU every year, whether it needs it or not. This year I had some body work done, so there is an area that needs to be treated.Anybody recommend the NH OIL treatment or other alternatives to Fluid Film?

I preferred Woolwax over NH. Lasts much longer by a lot.Anybody recommend the NH OIL treatment or other alternatives to Fluid Film?

The entire success of applying this shit is getting all the crud out of the cracks the accumulation of rust/salt/dirt from the frame crevasses. Applying sheep jiz over this crap does nothing.I’m told this product is better than Woolwax in that it creeps better.
I do not have direct experience seeing it.
I’m well aware of what’s proper. Taking it apart is better than spraying and praying.The entire success of applying this shit is getting all the crud out of the cracks the accumulation of rust/salt/dirt from the frame crevasses. Applying sheep jiz over this crap does nothing.
Next pos that comes in with this crap smothered all over I will try to remember to take some pictures and point out the fails.
Do you say where you had it done somewhere in the preceding 7 pages of posts?I preferred Woolwax over NH. Lasts much longer by a lot.
Yes. I’ve had both done so it’s real world experience. Not internet hearsay.
Locally done in Greenville. Lack of help has stopped him from doing it but there are many shops around elsewhere.Do you say where you had it done somewhere in the preceding 7 pages of posts?
Finding help to actually do this shit work must be awful. Im gearing up to do my 10 year old Tundra . My truck will be tied up for more days than I care for. Plus Im just not looking forward to it.Locally done in Greenville. Lack of help has stopped him from doing it but there are many shops around elsewhere.
