Thoughts on corrosion free rust proofing/undercoating

[Phil Ricotta]

One other question Phil: if you don't mind me asking, did you go with the "complete" package or one of the others?

I went with the complete package and had it done at Canadian Tire and it was only $139.00

I was quoted $175.00 for Fluid Film application by Erie Undercoating in Vermillion, OH.

I had my 2023 XLT done with "Corrosion Free". I did a lot of research and found that it was the best option out there. There is a Test Data Sheet available on line where the Canadian Military did a test of many of the top options and it was by far the best performing. It is very similar to "Fluid Film" but does not have any smell to it after it has been applied. It is drip free. I purchased a separate spray can of it and applied a little extra in the bottom of my doors and my tailgate and under the front of my hood. Very satisfied so far. They provide the best warranty and only require that you get it done every 18 months, although I will still get it done annually. I have attached a pdf of the report.

Best corrosion and rust prevention . move to Florida and garage park your maverick . don't drive in salt water . wash and wax quarterly . Best IMO .

Just wondering if any of these companies remove and reinstall all of the under side felt guards on the Maverick.
Having removed them myself for minor maintenance and fluid changes I’ve noticed this is the worst areas for corrosion.
I always spray what I can with Fluid Film when I’m under there. Seems to be a vulnerable location.

I see they sell the stuff. how much do they charge if applied by a dealer?

I myself went with Krowns which is an oil type product. Who knows if it will work BUT was about $170 applied. Has to be redone each year. I hope it helps

I went with Krown too, 1st time doing it. $170
Finding undercoating places south of Kentucky-Indiana border is rare, I got it done in Northern Indiana.

I did it because my recent 1st trip to Upstate New York I saw newish vehicles with chunks of car missing that I had no idea was possible - looked like clean shiny waxed & then out of nowhere the wheel well is gone, with edging of flaky rust. 5 year old Lexus suvs with awash of rust from rear hatch handle like they were carrying corrosive fluid inside the back hatch.
