Oil & Fuel Fluid Film

It sticks to it. look at my post above

A little goes a long way. It will creep for months, covering a larger area.

I carefully put about a drop on an AL screen door hinge. Several months later there is about a 20 inch long, 2 in wide area that looks like it had been sprayed with FF.

Besides using it on implements prior to storing. I use it to undercoat my Jeep in the winter.

That's awesome to know. I got a "new" truck a couple months ago and am planning on doing it up with FF this fall. Not sure if I should just use cans (at $10 each) or invest in some underbody sprayers and gallon jugs or what exactly. Starting with the cans.

So far, I sprayed at the clamp-on wheel weights hoping it would weep under and not corrode the aluminum wheels. I mostly wanted to see what FF was like....

I've used just the cans, and also bought the spray kit and bulk fluid for spraying my truck. After using both, I think you get more bang for the buck and much less time to apply using just the cans. But that's mainly due to the ease of spraying doors, tailgate, edges, seams, and even rocker panel areas with just the can and straw. Those are all relatively easy to do with the cans. It's a lot of time and work to spray under the truck, frame and all, and in the end those areas get washed or worn off fast anyway. Plus the main areas you care about preventing rust are what I listed above, which you can get to with cans.
Someone warned me on here a couple years ago, that FF can damage rubber. They were right. If FF is over applied, like where it runs down inside the doors, it will swell, distort, and destroy any rubber plugs along the bottom of doors. So take if it easy when applying around rubber.

Thanks. I'm hoping 4shorts does a video on it before winter. He's got a pristine '93 chevy. I had a 95 (recently traded) that was good compared to what else is around here, but huge portions were going to disappear over a heavy bump.

Does it do anything to plastic parts

The active ingredient is ..... LANOLIN! Yup, sheep grease. It is terrific for dried out, cracked skin! It does "dry out", but VERY slowly, and once the liquid solvent/carrier in it evaporates, dust and dirt stick to it very little. That's why it is ideal for PTO splines. Or anywhere else you want a "dry" lubricant. The lanolin is semi-solid at room temp, which is why it requires a lot of can shaking to work right.

For the rubber door seals, etc. on your vehicle, better to use "Sil-Glyde" silicone grease from NAPA. You can get a big tube (like 8oz) that is a lifetime supply for <$10.

I haven't had any issues with plastic or paint. It will actually make paint look better, sort of rejuvenating it I suppose. I really haven't had any issues with rubber parts, as long as I wipe off the excess. But certain rubber formulas must be more susceptible. Those rubber plugs I mentioned above swelled to 1 1/2 times their normal size., but they were bathed in FF.

I use fluid film quite a bit as well mostly for undercoating my vehicles for the winter. It does work well. One thing about it is that when you use the sprayer attachment they have you have to run it at about 80 psi it order to get the siphon strong enough to suck that stuff up.

Works great as an overall lubricant but for a penetrating oil for breaking loose rusted bolts I haven't anything better than PB blaster.

For penetrating I use Kroil. The most awesome smelling stuff ever invented. (Although Shooters Choice FP10 gun lube is right up there too!)

If women ever swapped to either of those, in place of their fancy perfumes, the male race would never stand a chance.
