I am now 50, Being a mechanic for the last 30 years paid off for me today yet again, My mom is now 81, She drives a 2000 Ford Windstar with 76k on it, Damn near mint, Florida will do that for old vehicles, On her way home from work, Yes 81 Years old she still works a 40 Hr week, Her power steering pressure line exploded all over the rear exhaust manifold, FIRE, Some good Samaritan with an extinguisher put the fire out fast enough so there was no damage ( LUCKY )
I am now disabled and unable to work as a mechanic, But yesterday I shined, Buked up and just took care of business, Van is back to perfect and now it will just take a week or so for my back to recover lol, I love you bro your videos keep me going, They make me feel whole again, Nice to see there is at least 1 honest mechanic left in the world besides myself.

Eric, I appreciate your diagnostic skills and love your videos. Today, I solved a problem I ve been having for awhile. 2005 Mustang GT, parasitic battery drain. After following wiring diagrams and not finding a module that could explain the drain, I noticed a non-Ford module under the dash. Turned out it was a GPS tracker. Removed it and problem solved. So I realized that wiring diagrams cannot always solve your problems. As you know, sometimes you have to look for the DIY or aftermarket guy s stuff. I am so happy to find the solution but I m pretty sure you would have found that faster than I did. In any case, it comes down to following the logic rather than following the book. I think you re a smart man.

Do you regulate the compressor to spray it or do you just spray it at full shop air like 120-150 psi? I've watched you over the years, obviously you like Fluid film the best, I remember you did a video on krown. I'm getting ready to do my wifes new car before winter, and i'm doing it on my old cars, I wish i had known about this stuff 10+ years ago! My 08 wouldn't be rotting out and i'm dreading the day that goes to the crusher lol i love that car. I keep telling people who buy new cars, get it KROWNED not ziebart and no one listens. i would prefer a fluid film or woolwax shop around here but we have 2 krown locations.

WELL WORTH IT. I do my trucks I plow with and any vehicles I care about. I had a jeep the was flakey rust on lots areas I used scaler and and hammer to knock off about 3 gal of rust in bucket and sprayed with black fluid film. 1 year later the frame looks pretty much mint, smooth dry black as if it was powder coated matte black. I would say it more than doubles life expected time and for 200 or under you charge I would have you do mine all the time every time. You save 1 brake line, hose, or component per app of 200 it pays for itself. It s not a gimmick it s not debatable itWORKS AND WELL

I used 10 cans of Fluid film on my 2011 F150 from front to rear after I got it new. Back then a can cost 7. 00 at Princes Auto. 11 years later and 104 K miles no rust anywhere even the underside looks new. I think that is money and time well spent. I live in Manitoba we salt our roads as if the salt was free. I do wash the truck including the underside and keep spot treating with Fluid Film. Today it costs 18. 00/can but PA has it on sale for 12. 99 so I'll be stocking up. I hope people who are closer will go to South Main Auto and have the Fluid Film applied it is worth it.

It s wild to me how unknown this kind of maintenance is especially in salt belt regions, I literally do all my vehicles myself yearly and get them Krowned every three years and although rust still forms my old Japanese made vehicles aren t anywhere near the crusher yet. My newest is 2008 accord manual and oldest 1986 Toyota Land Cruiser turbo diesel manual. But I drive my 1998 crv manual the most. Something about the old D series gassers I just like, and it isn t even vtec, but still zippy

Perfectly timed - the 9 year old Chevy Avalanche has some frame rust, but is otherwise in excellent shape. With new pick ups running 60- 80g s, I m going to try and keep the rust monster at bay. Also thinking I may try this in the internal frame of the much older Wrangler. I used the Eastwood internal frame spray (same applicator as Fluid Film spray cans, but this may serve as an added amount of protection since those pesky Wrangler frames rot from the inside out (Don t ask how I know.

Been over 20 years since I've seen a car protected. Seen a few as a teen in the 1980's and early '90's where they used fish oil. So rare too see a rusty car now days. Just shows how much raw steel is used in car building now. I do know someone who bought a Chinese truck which started rusting and its 3 years old. Others I know that rust are Chryslers but they are quite rare as most have been sent too wreckers by now. I had an 09 Sebring that was full of rust after 3 years.

I remember as a young tech working at a dealership undercoating new and sometimes customers cars with that heavy black tar spray, but it wasn t for rust it was more for sound deadening as the areas you concentrated on were floorboards, wheelwells and body panels. It was California so rust wasn t much of an issue. Stuff smelled bad and didn t come off of anything even with acetone. Hated if that was a flag on your work order.

Hi ERIC You should also try a product called Woolwax. Check it out it is a great product that is much thicker then fluid film. I have used fluid film before. The problem I feel was happening that the water and salt during winter months were washing the fluid film away. Woolwax is much thicker and will not wash away. Buy a can and try it out. I know your winter in New York can be burtal just like in the Chicago area.

Mornin'. three questions:
Where did you get the extensions for the sprayer?
What PSI is the sprayer set to?
What are your thoughts on reapplication. I have previously applied Fluid Film to my car?
I do have the fluid film sprayer kit,
Yes. ensure the windows are up! Two years later, I am still cleaning off Fluid Film off a window I left down!
No lift, so I get to take a Fluid Film bath!

Eric, I wish you d post a URL for where to get the spray gun and adapter and tips you were using in the video. I was all excited to buy one but when In followed the Amazon links you did post, the applicator kit was clearly NOT the gun you were using. It looked like a cheap sprayer without the air bleed adjustment your gun had. Not what I m interested in.

OMGosh, the things I take for granted here in Oklahoma. I ve watched your vids for years and amazed by your patience with seized fasteners, flaking exhaust pipes, brake lines etc!
I m spoiled for sure! As expressed by you in one of your WUW vids I hope you find a place where rust is not king, snow tires not required and the deer are plentiful!
