Anywhere in the tri-states has paid rust prevent service?

 

BTW whoever said Woolwax doesn't smell is fooling themselves... I just did my vehicle in Fluid Film and my buddy did his with WW and they BOTH smell, just a different smell. WW smells like a wet dog (or sheep I suppose), while FF has a sweeter funkier smell. After experiencing both I'm not sure which I prefer. In any case, both odors will fade away in a couple of weeks.

 

My buddy did his in Fluid Film (from the 1 gal can) and I did Woolwax. Woolwax doesn't just smell different. It smells way better and there are many t threads about that. My buddy won't be doing fluid film next year, his garage reeks.

 

Odor preference is subjective, of course. I don't find that WW smells "way better" but YMMV. After smelling my buddies WW application as he was doing it, I questioned whether WW is worth the extra money for the short time you can actually smell it.

But mostly I was referring to posts that claim WW doesn't smell and FF does. My point is they both do.

 

On my winter car each year I spray FF inside the frame rails and rocker panels the odor is quite powerful and lingers for two weeks. A curious thing about FF is if you treat a vehicle that has rubberized undercoating FF soaks in and clings like crazy. It greatly softens the undercoating and in some spots it will fall off. So a win on vehicles that have the rust magnet that is rubberized undercoating.

 

ohh it's too stinky! haha usually stuff that smells the worst works the best.

 

Read the reviews. WW "subjectively" lasts a lot longer. Also, my experience smelling both is that WW "subjectively" smells a lot better. It's the difference of a sweet smelling, very light waxy smell vs a pungent, dark brown smell laden with some unknown stink. It's the reason that Car Care Nut stayed away from Fluid Film...Watch his GX review. I know you haven't smelled both side by side because there is no way you could say that it's only "subjective" between the two. The difference is obvious and it is obvious you haven't smelt both side by side. Also, I don't understand people who cheap out on the difference of $40 every 2 years between these two rust prevention solutions or choose to put regular gas vs premium in their LEXUS GX....Doesn't make ANY SENSE. Sorry, should have bought a Hyundai Santa Fe or a Toyota 4Runner.

 

Hear that everyone...forget the tests, just smell and if it stinks like hell, proven protection

 

And I know you didn't read my posts very carefully because I absolutely did smell them side by side. To reiterate, I did FF on my GX and my buddy did WW on his LC200 in my driveway. I didn't find the smell of either material very enjoyable but yes they were quite different.

 

I know it's OT, but I can almost guarantee that some products aren't as effective or good as they could be because the smell was too offensive. Not saying that's the case with these products, but it's a real thing.

 

You want Fluid Film. Do a full treatment once then have the shop do a touch-up every other year (annually if you drive a lot in snow conditions in a salt state or are often on the sand).

I just set up the appointment for my new to me GX460 and had it done to my 04 LS430 and my current Tesla Model 3.

Its not just body /frame but fasteners and exposed metal parts of components that are more protected with fluid film.

I was quoted less than $300 for the initial spray for the GX. Touch-ups are probably a little more than half of that (it was $180 for initial and $100 for touch ups on my old LS430).

I tried to do my wife’s old RX350 myself with a half dozen FF spray cans, but couldn’t quite be as thorough as a shop with a lift and all of the compressor attachments and experience. I’d just leave it to the pros for the low cost of application.

 

Please recommend a 360 spray wand for fluid film or surface shield

then I need to buy a air compressor. Is there any cheap and mobile ac solution?

 

Saturday our truck goes in for a Woolwax treatment. I removed the spare so they could spray in that area. I have never done this to any of our vehicles before so I’m curious to see the results.
