As I am sure Hatzie can attest to, up here in New England we can normally basically watch the rust eat these trucks up. I plan on getting fluid film done this fall after a trip to the 4x4 section of the Outer Banks. Local places here pressure wash the underside of the truck before applying the FluidFilm - initial coating they do inside the rockers and other vulnerable areas (i.e. rear fender dog leg on Suburbans) and then subsequent yearly treatments they wash and just do the underside and its 1/3 the cost. I've seen how effective FluidFilm is despite the annoyance and cost of having to get it refreshed so to me its worth it.

Yeah the salt here melts the vehicles. New York is 25x worse.
What is it that people don't like about the GM wax?
