Default Fluid Film

Happy Holidays all.

So anyone use fluid film on their vettes? Curious as I use on my Landcruiser and honestly the stuff is amazing for keeping rust and corrosion off the car frame. Just curious as to why I shouldn't use

Fluid Film is great, no reason you can't spray it on the underside of the car.

We spray up to 100 cars and trucks each fall with Fluid Film. It will not harm your fiberglass or paint. You should try to avoid spraying close to outside surfaces as it tends to creep and will take a few good washes to remove - as you probably already know with your Landcruiser. We use airless sprayers for most of the underside and siphon guns with long wands for inside frames, rockers, inside doors etc.
I only use it on my Corvette for inside frame and the other hidden rust-prone areas, not the entire underside or inside the doors, as we would do on winter driven cars and trucks.

I spray all my cars/trucks with it along with a couple of my buddy's daily drivers. I order it on Amazon in 5-gallon buckets. I have never had any issues with it.

If sprayed onto frame or undercarriage, does it attract and hold dust ? Spraying inside rust prone frame areas seems like an idea. I have a spray can of it, it does have a funky smell.

never found it to attract dust. Just wasn’t sure on the fiberglass but been so happy with the results on the cruiser. Frame looks brand new after 6 years.
