Fergal Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 Anyone use it on a beach vehicle? If so does it collect sand ? I’m considering using it on my truck.

Im doing rust repair/undercoating on my Jeep now. If it is sticky at all im sure sand will stick to it. If it works great, thats all well and good. Problem with that to me is, if you have to wrench on it at all, you are now dealing with a mess. Im going the route of removing the rust, and using an encapsulator on the rust, and sealing it with monstaliner on top of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant see how this can be any good for the jeep at all. Sand holds moisture. Think about that for a sec. Now maybe most of it rattles out on the way home. But no way in hell is it coming out of the unibody or crevices under that jeep. Soaking that sand over and over is just helping the problem. Maybe not right now since yours is an 18, but jeep did a piss poor job of painting behind panels and stuff on mine. I wouldnt expect that to have changed.

toyota Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 I use it on my bike and shocks for my truck. Sand will not stick to it as long as you properly apply it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyota Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Pretty easy. Just spray and wipe with a rag Hardest part will be cleaning prior to application Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellfish Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Just had my vehicle coated ( inside and out) today with Waxoyl ... has been around for several years in Europe and it has good reviews even on vehicles with some rust. I use Fluid Film as a lubricant for yard equipment and some tackle but I don't believe it is a long term solution to rust prevention coating. I think it would be messy for the driveway due to dripping. The one advantage is that you can apply it yourself. Don't stop ... Retrieving ...

Corpslave Posted August 29, 2019 Report Share Posted August 29, 2019 Fluid film is a joke. Washes off too easily. Best way is to apply it and find a dusty road or trail and put a few miles on. The dust creates a nice barrier. I have moved on to spray oil like chain lube for motorcycles or even air filter oil. Works 100 times better than fluid film. Just spray everything and let the dust collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fluid film I have been using is a THICK WAX LIKE substance that does not easily wash off, it stinks like hell though for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont mind my curiosity, ballpark cost of the waxoyl ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StripersBR Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 All you guys suggesting this stuff probably take your trucks everywhere to get services. Fix it correctly.

Tiderunr Posted December 22, 2019 Report Share Posted December 22, 2019 Just did my ride a couple months back with a product called Cosmoline RP. It dries hard after a week or so, and feels like you coated the undersiide with a candle. Does not rub off with finger pressure. So far, so good. Available in aerosol cans.
