Undercoating

use a brush then, knock all that dirty off then
gotta keep the damned salt off it all...
 
More labor involved your paying a pissed tech for. It's no wonder they do chit jobs on your vehicles. You're probably one that coats replacement wear parts like shocks also. If you gotta do it...do just the fasteners.
I remember back in the day when I had a part time job after school. One of my chores was going to the city dump every saturday morning with the boss's f-100 pickup loaded with all sorts of garbage. Well eventually I was tasked with maintaining that truck. I use to get so pissed off having to clean all the crap, and mud from that garbage dump stuck to the underside of the truck. Even hitting the car wash didn't help much. Some of today's techs are prima-donna's, and won't put up with that crap very long.

Thats the type of crap that cures with a hard shell I've seen chip. Once that occurs moisture gets underneath and spreads rust. I'll stick with my cosmoline. Been nearly 6 years with zero rust. This year so far has been brutal.
 
If you've learned anything about hard shell coatings, they can chip. Imo, those semi soft waxy coatings that are petro based are best. Anything lanolin wash's away too quick needing constant attention if in a region with lots of slush, and rain.
 
the woolWax HV does NOT readily wash away at all in my application
although it does seem to be drying out a bit after over six years since application in the high-wash area

this new hardish-on coating is a different product
does it not selfheal itself
 
I used fluid film on my tundra when I owned it, Unless you use fluid film twice a year I saw surface rust taking place. I needed something longer lasting. I did my tacoma with cosmoline rp-342 back in march of 2020. Almost all of it is still in contact with my trucks undercarriage, just requiring some touchups in high abrasion areas. I didn't use wool wax after seeing how messy this lanolin based stuff is. Was told mechanics hate the stuff when the need comes to service anything.

dont these dumshit hacks wear gloves ???
they should appreciate the ease of fastner removal rather than having to get that torch and breaking sh!!T
those dumshit parts changers would LOVE to take the engine undercover skid off the gen2 after replacing ALL rotted supports nuts and hardware
and coating thicke WW HV on welded nuts and bolt threads to battle that nasty salt monster
 
Torch? for what? Gloves have nothing to do with it. Wool wax on chassis components is like handling thick grease...it gets on all their tools whether pneumatic, or not costing a lot of extra cleanup time for their next job. Who pays for it?....you do with a crummy job with a pissed off tech, and higher labor cost built into the bill.
At least with cosmoline, anything like paint thinner gasoline, or similar with a rag wipes it right away, making the job less painful for the service tech. I've worked on areas that I've coated with cosmoline, and had no issues like I did on my tundra using a lanolin based inhibitor like fluid film. That stuff gets all over you when I had replaced my trucks exhaust. Cosmoline basically ends up a dry waxy coating that doesn't get all over you if you need to work on something.
Btw, there's no rusty nuts, or bolts anywhere on my trucks undercarriage yet. I made sure their all well coated, and still coated with rp-342, so if I ever need to remove them...I won't need a torch.
