BuckyAnyone DIY rust protect their DD's
Like the title said. Anyone doing their own annual rust prevention to their daily drivers in the rust belt? Anything with wands to get up into rockers etc?

True! But everywhere has its problems. TN was awfully nice to visit. Buuuuuut....not yet. I really like my job at the moment. But probably need to look for my next career move before long.

chasracerEastwood used to have a kit that included the wand, flexible hose and fittings. The wand would attach directly to the cans of rust preventer. I did my old 80's Ford pickup with it but only ventured into salted roads occasionally. Truck body looked great when I sold it in 2000. Really needs to be done in a warm area and you need something that can be tossed to catch the excess that will drip out.

BuckyI can do it in my shop on the lift. Figure I need to throw some sheeting down to prevent a mess.

NFCA buddy of mine uses something called fluid film, He said he uses a cheap under coating gun to spray his truck every year. I can't remember if he said he got it from advance or napa.

green1I had my truck and wife’s car sprayed with a stuff called Krown. It was a bit costly to have it done so tried to buy a pail of it to do it myself and they want $200 for 5 gallons so just haven’t had it done again. It is biodegradable and doesn’t hurt blacktop or concrete so no need to worry about dripping.

BuckyI ordered some fluid film from amazon and a wand with 360 degree tip. Gonna give this a whirl

swingarmI bought the pressure pot/sprayer right from Krown for 230 and I gallon of T40 rust control for 50 . I did my rv with a couple tarps put down in my driveway. Worked well. It was 200 to rust proof the RV in their shop. Now I can do next time for about 30 bucks. I used 2 thirds of the gallon
