I'm on my third winter with Surface Shield , applied it to a new 250 . I did do a coat every year , I haven't had the product harden at all . I buy the 1 gallon pals now but the first year only the cans were available. I don't have 1 spec of rust on anything.
It probably performs pretty similar if you apply every year. I just don’t think it’s better than fluid film so why pay the premium price is my main thoughts.
I had a problem with the sprayer. Have to put it in warm water to heat it up and it will spray again. FF cans never have this issue.
The clogging can be solved by Leaving the can infront of a space heater or a bucket of warm water for a little while. When the can becomes cold the the product becomes too thick to spray. But heating it will allow it to spray properly again.
I have an 04 Discovery 2 with the SALT vi. That is notorious for rusty frames in the salt belt. From 2012 to 2019 i had zero rust with a FF treament annually. Unfortunately i went theough a family crisis and didn keep up and its rusting bad now. Any opinions on not removing the rust and just coating it to prevent the loss of the frame integrity. I plan to get an air gun kit and hose and coat the frame with FF mixed wirh PB and WD40 and Dawn Plat. I tested on an 02 Minivan and it did well over the winter until the repair was done. But thats my idea just checking other ideas as well.
Yeah, I don't know about this evaluation. You've had long term evaluation on ff and a application eval on ss but really no long term test results?! With the ff lower viscosity it probably does a better job of creep than ss, which also wouldn't require as accurate an application, but that lower viscosity is the reason ff doesn't last. And because of that, it may not be providing much protection at the end of the year. I doubt there is much self healing around that same time too. And as others have mentioned, warming ss helps with the spray process to reduce viscosity, which means keeping it warm, may improve the results. Also, as the can is emptied, that process causes a refrigeration effect, lowering the can temperature below ambient temperature, more of the reason to keep the can warm both before and between application passes with the can.
I think a long term evaluation would provide a more definitive comparison. There are some other long term test on yt that support its durability.
I've used Surface Shield, Fluid Film, and Corrosion X and my own personal results differ from yours. Where pavement is consistently wet from rain/snow, ff and cX don't last very long, not so with ss.
I do have to agree with you on ff creep factor, which also applies to the cX. I had an RV with a propane tank that had some corrosion. The tank, being mounted under the vehicle was only about half exposed for treatment. Removing the tank to do a better job was overly involved, so it was sprayed in place. Anyway, doused the tank well with spray, especially toward the inaccessable side. A couple years later, removed the tank for some other maintenamce work, and the creep had cover the whole tank and the top side of the tank was still well protected. The tank mounting position was horizontal and was about 20" x 32" long.
Be great to see a long term evaluation on this from you.
You can buy surface shield in 5 gallon or 1 gallon pails!!!! I just touch up spots as needed after the first coat!!!
How could fluid film be applied affectively without a lift. It seems jack stands simply does not produce superior results. Do you have an affective method on undercoating simply with a floor jack and jack stands?
Just do one corner at a time, it’s a bit slower but you can still get good results
they must of fixed the cans because i have not had this issue. I could of just got lucky though.
They sell pb surface sheild in 1 gallon pails now. Hate fluid film.
If you keep the cans warm and shake often while applying you shouldn't have much trouble. I used two cans back in the fall and didn't have problems with the nozzles clogging or dripping until the cans were almost empty.
Fluid Film is good but washes off too easily, and its smell is revolting to me. Like a dead sheep covered in diarrhea.
Whats the difference in price ?
It’s since gone down but it was about 50% more expensive
How many cans you use on fluid film when you rust proof your car?
I think I used 3 the first time and 2 every year since
@@KurtofTrades thanks bud
Just had the ole algorithm recommend your older pb and the other undercoating videos. Watched them and was hoping that after a year that the update was here.. 5 days on time lol
Haha nice
@@KurtofTrades I live in Missouri so rust isn’t the biggest issue, but I’m glad there’s a reasonable solution for undercarriages.. Iv heard horror stories about the spray on rubber junk.
The rubber stuff is worse than the salt almost
@@KurtofTrades I’d rather hose the undercarriage every week than have that gummy rubber on it,
I tried to share my experience with SS, but CZcams keeps deleting it. I didn’t say anything bad. I tried to post twice and it’s just gone. It was a few paragraphs, maybe it’s too long?
Didn’t see it in the held for review comments 🤷♂️
Just tried again. Posed it as a reply to this comment and it disappeared
@@jasoncharles6980same thing happens to me when I say FJBiden lol

Love FF
Ff and woolwax. Woolwax smells "good", ff smells, interesting. But it goes away. Ff for cavities, woolwax for surfaces.
You're saying fluid film is not as long lasting as wool wasac on the car exterior?
@@whatitisnt. Correct. Woolwax is thicker. They have a "low viscosity" version that is thinner, similar to fluid film. Woolwax smells actually good, and it dissipates pretty quick. Fluid film smells unique. And takes long to dissipate. I use both for various things.
@@MrDefyreality13 taking longer to dissipate is a good thing right? Also is low viscosity better?
@@whatitisnt. The weird smell takes longer to dissipate. Lv is better for crevices and cavities (in door panels, in the frame members. Its spray atomizes better and it creeps more. The standard woolwax is amazing for the under carriage. Especially the black version. Our big delivery truck I did in black woolwax looks killer. Even today (5-6months later)
Fluid Film or nothing baby!
My man! Haha
