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.
Appointment can be made at the below link.
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:
Fluid Film that is also sprayed on the inside of the frame rails with a 360* nozzle: $450.00
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: $1500.00 +
This is an example of a frame that needs to go to a body shop, or get a full replacement done.
We will not work on vehicles that have frame rot.
