| Answer to: Info on toyota frames BEFORE I buy it!! I dont want to be stuck! | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | toyotagrl | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| There was a Toyota Tacoma issue with Taco's built in the Fremont, Ca plant from 1995 - 2000 where not properly treated with enough undercoating that they used, and even had a buy back program for Taco's built in that plant in those years. Any vehicle regardless of make can get rusted out especially if it lives up north in the rust belt or close enough to a coastal area where the salt water atmosphere can also destroy frames. | |||||

| There's this rust prevention oil that some folks have applied to the undercoating of their cars (and businesses to their fleets, such as trucks) in the North and East. It's called "Fluid Film." (You wash it off in the spring). There are other such fluids, such as NH Oil and Krown. See how that is done, here. | |||||

| Ok, I see what you're saying. As I was looking under the car, I did notice that the previous owner had undercoating applied to the car and whatever knucklehead performed the application coated the muffler and the exhaust tips. It looks ugly as all get out. I am actively lookin for a used OE replacement. | |||||

| Here's a photo of my own truck frame, which had rubberized undercoating when I bought it. See how it's trapping dirt and moisture, causing it to rust more than if it were clean, dry metal? | |||||

| Don't do it, South Mail Auto Repair has a video showing how that stuff traps moisture against the metal and causes rusting. What you want is undercoating that is oil based such as Rust Check, Krown, and Fluid Film. I use Rust Check myself. | |||||

| Hey uncle Scotty, what do you think about Rubberized undercoating, like the Bosny Rubberized Undercoat spray can? Planning to do that on our old 97 Corona. Just watched your video about things for the rust, but how about the ones that are on cans? Thanks! | |||||

| Krown is one of the better undercoating formulas out there. I personally use Rust Check but Rust Check and Krown are very similar formulas. Fluid Film is another good formula. I would definitely pay $130.00 to have it done and I would do it every year. Here in Nova Scotia Canada I am living right in the rust belt and I can see first hand the difference that it makes. Whatever you choose you want something oil based, not far or waxed based because that stuff can actually crack and then trap moisture against the metal as shown on the South Main Auto Repair.

| Answer to: Salt in the street!!!! | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | mittegag | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| ... it but you can slow it down by flushing. On new cars, undercoating like Ziebart helps a lot. If you are going the flushing route, wait until it's over freezing just to be on the safe side. Funny thing, In Wisconsin, they sometimes put cinders on the roads. It helps as far as traction is concerned but plays heck on the paint. So as you see, there is no easy answer except for what I did. I retired and moved to Florida where the only salt we get is on our fries! {black}:hi: | |||||
| Answer to: What material to use for preventing rust on the underside of the car? | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | MountainManJoe | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Do not use rubberized undercoating. It will make the rust worse. I recently look at a brand new Mercedes Sprinter, and they used some kind of amber waxy substance. It looked like Cosmoline. | |||||
