Anyone spray Fluid Film under their car or truck with a garden sprayer?

I sure don't envy you guys up north! Every time I watch a Youtube of someone working on a rust bucket from the northland, I remember why I don't move back to Minnesota where I lived my 1st 18 years! Here in Oklahoma, rust is not much of a problem, I seldom need a hot wrench to fix cars and they last a lot longer than up north. Now, if only I could figure out a way to have more comfortable summer weather here, like you guys have up there!!!

Oh yeah... super comfortable! The second half of June was mostly mid-90's, with absolutely oppressive dewpoints in the mid-70's. Heat index was hovering 105F - 110F every afternoon.

At least the number of days we have like that are probably way fewer than you, but thanks to that ubiquitous east-coast humidity, it still gets stupid-hot (index > 100F) here an average of maybe 15 days per summer.

I have friends in Texas, and others in Floriday. Both basically write off two months of their summer, as too hot to do anything outside. I can hibernate indoors and work "house projects" for 15 days per year, but... 60 days?

Woolwax has a new product;Hard-On™ Permanent hard coating for truck frames and equipme
Better option and seems it wouldn't be a yearly thing!

Am I the only one that has this problem with Fluid Film??

I like it and use it. Problem is, my dogs LOVE it too. They will stand there and lick my mower, hitch, tractor linkage, etc. . . . . until they've licked it all off. Seems like it's kinda irresistable to them and watching them lick it off drives me crazy. They will shine up a piece of metal with their tongues.

If I were to spray the underside of a vehicle with it, my dogs would be under there non-stop licking it off. Would be lucky not to run over one of them accidentally.

I try not to park anything coated with FF close to the house for this reason.

The problem I have with fluid film here is rabbits. Yes rabbits
Last time I sprayed fluid film under our vehicles rabbits would chew everything under the car/truck.

The underside of my Power Wagon, except for the drive shafts, a heavy coat of LineX bed liner product. Without the bumps. Comes standard on my Power Wagon. Side to side - nose to tail.

Whatever is sprayed on the underside of a vehicle had better dry - hard and non-sticky. If it stays tacky. I've got a good idea what it will be after a drive down a dusty road.

When my employer started shipping cotton pickers overseas, they sprayed the entire machine with Fluid Film to protect it from waves spraying salty water on it while crossing the ocean.

They bought F.F. by the barrel. Some guy in the purchasing department decided F.F.'s sprayer-applicator was too expensive so he bought a garden sprayer. It plugged up the first day.

Someone made a mad dash to the hardware store and bought 2 more, while the guy in purchasing ordered the F.F. sprayer.

I would have loved getting a FF 55gal drum.

Just the drum to have in my shop.

A little pricey but I'm going to use this on my old Tundra eventually.

But the barrel would rust out before you got it used up!

FF stops rust.
I don't really want the 55 gallons of fluid, per se, I think the drum is a work of art.

Yeah, that drum is mancave worthy!
