I got the new ranger rustproofed,well worth it when I compare the ones I have had done with ones I didnt.
Lots of salt on the highways here.
Washing and waxing your vehicle once a month or so is Huge in keeping them rust free also.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

That's a lot fur these days. Might not be any animals left after you get enough for the first purchase with today's prices.

I spray my truck with used motor oil every Fall. Use a cheap sandblasting gun from Harbor Freight. It took about 3 gallons this time. It will bleed off for 10 days or so, so I don’t park on the pavement.

BB I used to have that done and it worked well, was only $35 at the time. 3 times a year. My 1999 and 2004 lasted rust free. The 2004 is now rusted because the new owner did not follow up treatments. But I own the 99 still and it is my everyday user, it is just easier to get the fluid film done and in hidden spots ut us still tacky from last years application. I am sold on fluid film......jk

Wool wax and fluid film on my vehicles, you can get both in black so it looks pretty good underneath.

Lubed much of my truck last weekend. Messy, but worth it. This year we added a 1 gallon sprayer (like some people use for Roundup) to our truck treatment arsenal. Quicker than brushing or using handheld squirt bottles.

Today I oiled behind the front wheels with a tooth brush. It beat watching that lousy Packer game.
Taking off the wheel is the way to do it right. I can't afford a new truck buy try to take care of what I have.

Fluid film is better.

Just before the weather gets bad and the salt trucks come out I have my new truck detailed and tuck it into bed to hibernate in the garage until the salt season is over.
