Nah. It's not bad. It's just maintaining your vehicle. It's also more then just against salt or the weather. Also good against off roading in water and mud. NJ isn't that bad with rust compared to some states. My 4runner is actually very clean. Ofcourse it had few spots on the body. But otherwise you couldn't tell. Fluid film is good insurance.

Eastwood makes one called heavy duty grease. With a extended nozzle. I used it to spray into rocker panels, and other cracks. Including my frame. Again, it's great against water.

The jeep guys spray linseed oil. It dries to a wax coating.

It meets a ton of aviation and MIL spec corrosion protection requirements.

I just put it in a spray bottle and apply it underneath my rig everywhere that I'm trying to protect. I also spray it in the frame throughout the various holes in all directions. A gallon of it is about 80 bucks on Amazon which should last you many, many years.

As a bonus, it also smells wonderful.......unlike my wife's cooking.

LP3 on Amazon
Amsoil chain lube is also am amazing film that prevents binding & an amazing rust preventer. Aerosol can goes a long ways.

Now that you mention it, I used a lot of fogging oil to try and rust proof stuff.

I did this last year with the same sprayer and it worked out ok. My only complaint is all the dirt and grime it collects. My new yellow Bilsteins looked 10 years old after a couple weeks and they still do. DIRTY

Bumping this cuz I got a question regarding a spray gun. I have been using the HF gun for a couple years now. It has some drawbacks and I'd like to upgrade to a better sprayer. I would assume that if the HF gun "works" with Fluid Film then most of the electric guns on Amazon would as well?

I am looking at this:

More powerful and bigger container. The angled straw is also a plus and the biggest drawback of the HF sprayer.
