[QUOTE="Kabanstva, post: 1080532, member: 22100"] Thanks for the reply. I have used POR15 in the past but really do not want to mess with it on this truck because it's such a pain and time consuming product to work with, not to mention messy and you have to get everything prepped perfectly for the stuff to truly bond like they want you to. My initial plan was to hit everything with Fluid Film since I've done it in the past and it's well known to be a go-to product for vehicles with already existing rust. Fluid Film has awesome penetrating properties so it's ideal for soaking/absorbing into the metal and through the rust. I also like that it virtually needs no prep aside from a good undercarriage wash and dry and the removal of large chunks of rust (which isn't my case at all, I would not even bother with it if my truck was THAT badly rusted, what's the point). The thing I don't like about the Fluid Film is that it washes off easy (you can rinse off the bulk/excess of it with a garden hose at close distance) and spraying it in areas that you will potentially touch alot means your hands will get oily/greasy if you come into contact with it. So with this in mind, the MPHD seems like an ideal alternative, like a longer lasting, dry curing Fluid Film essentially. I am just curious how the penetration properties compare to those of Fluid Film and if its as effective as Fluid Film when sprayed over existing rust. I did shoot Amsoil an email with some of these questions, so really hoping to get a thorough reply and not a general automated copy&paste answer with this.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 01:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] I have used both Fluid film AS/NAS (aerosol/gallon) version and the Fluid Film Liquid AR which is a gel version of the original Fluid Film (thicker and more resistant in pretty much every way). Both products are yellow/brown in color. The Liquid AR is noticeably more brown than the original Fluid Film which is like a clear/yellow in color. The heavier of a coat you put, the more yellow/brown it looks and obviously will be more noticeable on lighter colored parts that it's applied to. I am not really bothered by the color at all, I'd rather have brown amsoil under there than brown rust. [/QUOTE]
