All part of the service. Of course, the guy footing the bill is usually paying 100 grand plus for other things as well. So there’s that.Now who can we get to grind all the sh#t off the frame before spraying.
So I have a couple of questions about all this stuff. I just found out I will be moving to Utah at the end of this month and having never lived in a snowy climate, let alone one that salts the roads, I am very freaked out about my two cruisers vs salt. I have read that some people apply one to twice a year, does this stuff stay on that long? Do people cost the engine bay?That's an excellent question (that I don't have an answer to). I will go to Home Depot (but really Harbor freight, shhh) and pick one up this weekend. I will let you know on Monday morning. If it works I will get a short video.

I have read that in the winter you should wash you undercarriage about every ten days, would this stuff wash off with that frequency? Or if you use woolwax of ff are you supposed to not wash your undercarriage.
I've been using Fluid Film for a number of years now. Every October before the snow flies I coat the entire underside from tip to tail with pneumatic paint sprayer. I shoot everything and everywhere. I go through about 2/3 of a gallon for an 80 Series.So I have a couple of questions about all this stuff.

It will smoke for a while as it burns off the exhaust and cats and that smells pretty bad, but it doesn't last too long.
I daily drive my Lexus and it gets hosed off whenever I get a chance. Fluid Film does not just "wash off" with a garden hose.
Get the extension wand for the spray cans. I run that through the frame rails, body panels, sill drains, every nook and cranny, etc.
Spray cans are good for the hard to reach places and spot treatments.
I still have an unopened gallon of Fluid Film from my last order, but I'll give the Wool Wax a shot too.
Hard to say, as my LX450 doesn't really fit into any of the local joints around here. I hand wash the exterior and the underside gets very thoroughly hosed off when I get a chance.So, auto car washes don't pose a significant threat on the treatment?
Been meaning to pull the trigger on FF for a while but sounds like woolwax is better for my needs anyway!
I don't have air tools at my current house. Have you tried application with any of the electric HVLP guns?
If you've never lived in a snowy climate where the roads are salted, it will probably freak you out a little when you get to Utah and experience your first winter. But it's not nearly as bad as you may think. Definitely not as gnarly as what the guys in the Northeast deal with in terms of rust. My Cruiser has spent it's entire life in Utah and Colorado (mostly Utah) and for the most part the undercarriage is pretty clean. I have a rusty spot in my driverside rocker panel but that developed before I got the truck because of water not draining properly from the sunroof area which drains into the rockers.So I have a couple of questions about all this stuff.

Ok Wompom. Sorry for the delay but I got the inexpensive $19.95 electric hvlp gun from Harbor Freight and gave it a go with Woolwax® straight from the drum, unheated. I have to say that I was surprised that the gun did well. Better than any of us expected. It atomized the thick Woolwax® into a nice fan spray. The distance was surprising also (12"-18").

Bought the 5 gal kit to do a few 80's and my new Duramax. Initial reaction is great, no sheep smell and it stayed where sprayed. The only negative was dumping the Woolwax from the bucket to the spray canister.
I wanted to show a video done today of our Woolwax® in Black. This old pallet jack was sprayed over a month ago and left outside in some heavy rains. It's a broken pallet jack that's in our junk pile in the lot. We were amazed when we checked it today and saw how well the Woolwax® held up. The rain in Massachusetts the past month or so has been really severe.
Woolwax®. Better than all the rest.
