Fluid Film

For the life of me I can't see what the big deal is, stuff ain't but a mix of lanolin, mineral oil & paint thinner you can make yourself for cheap money.

There is a little more to it than that. It is the only stuff we use in the maritime business. Will actually stay on in saltwater immersion for long periods. Was originally developed for naval use.

I'm hooked.

Unfortunately the first link I clicked Fluid Film Rust Protection took me to their home page.

Now how do I justify the 55 gallon drum for $1495?

That drum would look SO good in my workshop!

Even this usage
I have been a fan of Fluid Film for years. I spray it on my gooseneck hitch about once a year.

I go through about 10 cans a year. I use it on lots of things. Electrical connections, lug nuts, fertilizer applicators, just about anything metal.
wouldn't use it up.

I've always heard good things about this but this thread kinda "topped it off" so to speak. I was in Rural King yesterday and had to look. Sure enough... they had it! But $9.99 for an aerosol can! Just one for now. Thanks guys.

If you look at some "old" threads there's this:
Fluid Film is a lanolin based rust/corrosion preventive and lubricant that provides long term protection and lubrication for all metal surfaces. Fluid Film locks out and displaces moisture while lubricating moving parts for extended periods of time. It will not be readily washed off with water, but creates a barrier of protection that continues to work even in the most corrosive of environments. Fluid Film is the worldwide standard for corrosion protection and lubrication.

Both John Deere and Caterpillar use Fluid Film on their heavy equipment before shipment. It sits out in full exposure to salt air, salt water, and rain, and the product continues to work for them.

So he WAS a sponsor, are they still a sponsor?

And also - for you dedicated users - how does it compare it to WD40?

I received an email from eBay that my case of Fluid Film had shipped. That was less than an hour after order was placed. Did a little more checking, just for grins, and never found a price anywhere close to the $6.65 even for 12 can quantities.

That is the way to buy it...
I've never tried it but you guys are starting to really get into my bank account...
