And you're paying too much for your Fluid Film. $ 8.95 for the Aerosol and $38.00 for a gallon. you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Been here ten years and this is the first time it ever jumped out at me. That's last winters residue.

Heck ….Iam seeing rust bubbles on 2017 Chevy …Dodge and other vehicles. And you aluminum Ford guys still need to oil the frames and gas and brakes and tranny lines too. This pic was taken 2 years ago of a 2011 Dodge Truck…. It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

What would be the benefit of using Fluid Film over motor oil? Got a price here….34.00 per gallon…Fluid film has lanolin in it….won’t harm rubber bushings . But hey….spraying something under your truck/ car is better than nothing It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
