When the U.S. Navy needed to conquer the costs and delays of battling rust and corrosion in the ballast tanks of its thousands of combat and support vessels in World War II, an innovative West Coast chemist formulated a powerful weapon based on an unlikely ingredient: lanolin (wool wax).
The savings were immediate. The costs of chipping, sealing and painting were greatly reduced. The new film penetrated corrosion and rust quickly. Application was simple. Protective action was long lasting and economical.
The weapon was FLUID FILM®, produced in a variety of easy-use forms by Eureka Chemical Company. Operating since the early 1940’s and incorporated in 1953, the company continues as a family-owned business managed by descendants of the founding chemist.
From its first seagoing use in the 1940s, FLUID FILM® has been proved in some of the most severe conditions; Industrial, agricultural, raw-terrain construction – even on the space shuttle. Modified over time to adapt to environmental and application considerations, it’s non-toxic/non-hazardous.. FLUID FILM® continues to serve as the most effective corrosion control for industry, farming, industrial and transportation.
We spray the under carriage of your car with a thick coating of this natural rust fighting product in about 30 minutes. We use special high capacity spray guns to lay it on the underside and keep your truck from starting to rust, or if your new to this process, it will stop the continuation of rust. Fluid Film applied over surface rust will stop its further advance on your vehicle. We charge $250 for this application. If you would like us to drop your spare tire, and remove your factory skid plates or beauty panels we will do that and spray the vehicle underside and inside the frame rails using our 360* nozzles with extensions for $350.00
If you feel your truck needs remediation treatment beyond this coating, we need to look at your truck and give some consultation first.

Some older vehicles need more than a coating to protect the frames.
We do offer wire wheel, POR15 and remediation services that start at $1000 and go up depending on the depth of the restoration or remediation needed. The Picture here represents a frame that Fluid Film will help stop the rust from continuing, but you may want to remediate the rust and stop it with a competent top coating.
Please email us or call to get scheduled in for this type of work.
Examples:
Light wire wheel and then fluid film top coat: $750.00
Heavy wire wheel, and then fluid film top coat: $1000.00
Heavy Wire Wheel: Clean with Alcohol, Top Coat POR15: Spray Fluid film interior of frame, spray fluid film exterior of frame: $2500.00 to $4000 or more

But we can! We need to see the truck in person to give estimates on repairs like this from $1500 to $7500 for major frame fixes.

Because the Product Costs quite a bit more, so we have to charge another $50 for that application. Its also takes longer to clean up after, so more labor.
Clear is sprayed 90% of the time, the only time you would want the black tint, is to cover a frame or under carriage that has unsightly rust, but you don't want to pay for remediation. New Vehicles should not be getting black.
This is a non permanent Product that is designed to last through the winter, and be reapplied next fall. If you get into winter, and you feel the product is dissipating, we can do a touch up for free.
Remediation takes time, we need to book those sessions as drop offs as our schedule allows.
We don't do any door jams or interior work with fluid film. We also don't do drip drains or inside doors.
Many Of our clients have been spraying fluid film on their trucks for years, a touch up session is what they will need going forward as most of the under carriage already has a nice build up of wax from previous years application.
When We do cavity wax we are taking 36" flex extentions that have 180 Nozzles on the end and pushing them through the boxed frame to wax the unseen cavities and crannies that you can't hit with line of sight. The frame gets coated from the inside. We also get engine bay
Yes, fluid film does give off a smell, its especially pungent for the first 48 hours and still has a smell for up to 2 weeks as the product cures up. Don't worry, its not toxic.
You should avoid tunnel washes for 2 weeks, and for sure don't get an under carriage wash for 2-3 weeks. Hand Washing the exterior is 100% fine the day after.
On the drive home from the application you will notice a burnt smell, and may experience some smoke coming off your car. We try not to spray your exhaust pipes directly, but its kinda unavoidable. So for the first drive don't panic, its just the over spray burning off your exhaust.
Black Fluid Film is just what it sounds like, it goes on black, and coats everything under the truck into a monotone black color. Cosmetically it looks better and hides existing rust. We do not use black fluid film inside the frame for cavity waxing.
Woolwax and fluid film are made from the same company, Woolwax is thicker, and fluid film is a thinner product. We like the fluid film better because it runs and creeps into the crevices and cracks better. It also soaks into existing rust starving it of air and water to stop rust.
