Hi Scotty, here in NH I spray or brush a special blend of oil and wax heated to a 100 degrees. Sticks like glue, penetrates rust and metal to stop rust by soaking it with oil then sealing it with wax. Stays put for at least two years even around wheel wells. Cover your brakes before spraying. Also my Bronco has urethane bushing on everything. I try not to spray rubber anything. In fact the truck came from San Antonio...

Something we do a lot here in New England is we get one end of the car up on ramps in the fall and rinse it out really well. Let it dry overnight and then spray everything down with a can of Fluid Film to coat everything for the winter. If there's any rust around you just wire brush it and then then use some rust converter on it first. But, the few people that bother with this seem to have cars that hold up really well over time. Folks used to get their cars undercoated around here a lot. But, over the last twenty years or so it's sort of fallen out of favor.

I agree with Dave Houston regarding the use of an oil based product over the paint on type. It gets into everything. Having said that though, it can be hard on the rubber seals around the doors and trunk. I also worry about the door speakers as well. I had an old Bonneville that was professionally sprayed yearly and the body was still in great shape when I finally got rid or it. Another thing to consider is that if you DIY spray you have to make sure that it doesn't get on the brakes or exhaust. That combined with the mess, I think it's better to pay the $120/year to have somebody else do it.

@waynebinky 10 ай бұрын

$125 won't get you in the front door of the spray shops in Canada. Not to mention a lot of these companies do a poor job and just hope the customer never goes under the car afterwards. Good odds of the typical owner not bothering to look afterwards. I've bought the stuff needed for Fluid Film application ($90can per USgal) as our new car has so many plastic panels under it there is no way I'd trust a shop to remove the panels then spray it. They will definitely take the short-cut and try with them on.

MIG weld then. Don't use flux core. It's really messy. I think the shielding gas prevents oxidation of the metal. Also remember to grind down all welds fully to clean metal. Prep is the MOST important part. Grab some Eastwood Rust converter. It's a chemical process that chemically changes the rust into a stable paintable surface. I did it with my 1969 Thunderbird on the frame as some sections were rotted away. Cut all the way back to good metal and weld in new stuff then grind, sand, clean and paint it. Still looks good after many years.

I work at the Ford, GM, Chrysler all auto manufactures in paint dept. You are correct about the Elpo/Phosphate dip. They dunk car bodies and when going through paint shop bodies are grounded and the paint robots also have High Voltage 90,000Kv that charges the paint and help to adhere to the body. More often than the plants admit the High Voltage systems has issues regularly. Most time they will disable the HV system to keep robots painting but they 5 years down the road it starts to wear out prematurely. So Clearcoat peels off or is thin and will begin to rust. Bottom edges of doors on the F150's is a hot spot for low paint film builds so they start to rust early. Almost all auto manufactures have their weak spots that are usually in same areas. I always drive F150 so I notice all mine on bottom edge inside of driver door is a spot to keep an eye. Since I've worked with every auto manufacturer applying, designing paint specs, repairing the paint robots, film build densities and so on, FORD has the most reliable paint process of all manufacturers!. Also if you get real lucky you'll have a vehicle that went through the paint booths and missed a little spot so they will send it through the second time to get painted again. In my experience those are the vehicles you want because they will not rust and the paint hold up forever because it's got twice as many layers. I look for indications of 2 runs through paint booth and buy those vehicles even if it not the color I want because it will last forever!. The next F150 I buy is going to be brand new right off the line and I am going to be in charge of sending my truck through the paint shop twice so paint job wil last forever! I worked on, loaded, maintained and inspected Tom Brady's truck for winning the super bowl and the truck was labeled as such through production so people knew not to make any mistakes or slack on that specific vehicle through the whole production process.

Scotty...as a bodyman/painter I can tell you that clearcoat is a "cross linked polymer" ...you can not "nourish" clear coat with a wax. The real purpose of wax is to be an extra "sacrificial layer" that can be replaced easily and cheaply...and it is slippery so that dirt does not gain a foothold in the tiny scratches caused by grit as you drive, and from washing and wiping the grit at the car wash. You are exactly right about exposed metal corrosion , but DIRT is another enemy because DIRT is like a sponge that holds moisture against the surfaces of your vehicle...especially inside the doors and wheel wells . Look at northern Dodge , Ford (steel bodied) and Chevy trucks and what do you always see? Rusted out wheel openings over the rear wheels. Why is that? It's because the inner structure is like a shelf where DIRT gets to sit unless you get in there and consistently wash it out...some people even drill drain holes in the upper wheel well lip to make drain holes so they can wash it out easier.

@@VLK-73 Used oil has some acidic content, but what will happen is it will attract dirt until you go through puddles and then the oil is floated off by the water, but the wet dirt can remain. Just look at any puddle in a parking lot, what do you see on the surface? The multicoloured film of oil from someone's leaky motor. Some people oil the hood hinges on their trucks, then the oil attracts dirt, and then the hinges bind and the hood bends before the hinges will open up. I'm sure you've seen 70's Chevy trucks with bent hoods from seized hinges. Grease hinges...wash and let dry the underside of a vehicle and check the drain holes on doors, use a small tie wrap to make sure they are open because doors are designed to let water flow through .

Krown or another oil spray like Rust Check or Ziebart is the best way to prevent rust in northern climates. Using Scotty's advice, the car would still rust from the rockers, rear fenders, strut towers etc if the car was a northern vehicle, definitely incomplete advice for not mentioning oil spray rust proofing.

I use Rust Bullet on everything, I use it as a primer for bodywork. I drill holes in door jambs and spray it in the rockers and quarter panels. I put it on every part I replace on my vehicles then spray paint it with color of choice. I’ve put it on complete engines before painting them and holds up better than regular engine paint.! Scotty knows what he’s talking about.

I'm a cheap bastard and like what my forefathers used to prevent rust. Boiled Linseed Oil works a treat, it's cheap and effective. It works just great on my bare metal tools too. It sticks like shite to a blanket but way less offensive. Did I mention that it is cheap too? Dilute with mineral Turps 50/50 or what suits you. Nickel compound (anti seize) is terrific for specific purpose too. The stuff wont wash off. Trouble is if you come in contact with it, it wont wash off you either. Without some petrol or such 🙂 Love your videos Scotty.

Rust starts on inside out, salt mud etc stays inside body panels when not washed properly. I've purchased many vehicle's that people dont keep drain holes open and clean. That starts rust. Keep drain holes clean . Where dirt and debris get stuck that where your problems begin.

I have actually used both on 2 different cars. Both work really well when the person applying them knows what they're doing. I would argue that Fluid film is actually an "oil"in all reality. Despite people claiming you need a coating a year, I have found living in the Chicagoland area that I'm averaging 2-3 times a year. I will say Fluid film is easier to apply though but the downside to that is I have missed spots before from it's ease of use

If its just water, it should dry, but with dirt the drying process is slowed, gives rust a foothold. Products like Fluid-Film can protect against rust.
