For rust determent----
Heat RAW linseed oil and spray that as you would with any undercoating product.
Head will thin it out for spraying.

Linseed oil will not clot or skin up and has an affinity for rust.
A drop will get itself sucked up by any rust nearby like in seams etc.
Heated make it act like diluted and gels quite rapidly as it dries.

Aviation has used RAW linseed oil to protect steel tubing structures ever since.

Downside is the sweet smell that'll linger for a while.

I proved this way back when we had a VW beetle that was notorious for rust.

guys if your looking for a rust preventer, this stuff is amazing, i use it everywhere, bare steel in the rain for 3 months with no rust...

Amazon.com: Fluid Film & Woolwax 1 Gallon Undercoating Kit Bundle w/PRO Gun & 2 Wands. Straw(Clear) Color.: Automotive

That product is OK for areas that are obviously exposed,....and can be accessed visually.
It is much too viscous to protect the seams of metals that are crimped, or spot welded together.
Cars and trucks rust most frequently in areas where salt and debris gets trapped, areas that are not readily accessed.

Cars and trucks get the most rust in areas that cannot be readily accessed.

When it gets hot out the ff runs into all the seams...I spray my truck in the summer....

the stuff was literally designed for undercoating cars, there are a ton of youtube video's on how to properly undercoat a car, which i have done. it gets in every orfice you can think about. it comes out like a mist, and can creep, have you actually used it? i can get it in door panels and other sections with 0 issue.

Maybe......but you only see what is obvious.
If you do the door bottom seams inside, just take a door trim panel off and compare.
Or....the seams inside a tail light housing, or inside a front directional.
I know LPS-3 does a much better job!
Check out the LPS-3 MIL spec.

Sorry to burst your bubble Peter, but that "spray kit" is homeowner feel good equipment!
It is not even on a level similar to the mighty Wagner Power Painter.
Oh sure, the "kit"..... will spray the Fluid Film, but you will not reach many of the areas that REALLY need it.
Oh ......be assured also, that when YOU are done, YOU absolutely will not rust!

Yes.....I have used it!
I also purchased my very own high dollar ARO/Bolair professional application equipment.
I realize that few folks would ever spend the money necessary for professional application equipment.
A homeowner can do a superficial job with several different products.
It takes a full day to do a professional job, and professional equipment is necessary to do a professional.
A little spray gun with a little hose, is just enough to make some feel that they are doing a good job.

The "ton of youtube video's" that you reference do not show what is being missed.

Perhaps we have a terminology difference here though.
To a certain extent your method WILL work for "undercoating".
I am talking about RUSTPROOFING the car!

whatever floats your boat buddy, I have used the graco sprayers, there is no considerable difference between them and the one in the kit. the kit from fluid film is more then adequate. but you seem to have your mind made up. I've been spraying for years, the kit works thats all you need to know.
