Any good frame oiling recipes out there?

Tar and feather it...
You know a duck is never wet in the water...
Steam clean then, then wire brush bad spots.
Diesel fuel reaks big time. Id black body shults.

 

If that’s a rubberized undercoating, I would highly recommend against using it.

 

My dad always told me if I dont know enough about something then dont give opinions on it, I wish your dad did the same! Rubberized undercoating is the worst thing for your car!

 

It said MolyB Grease has excellent waterproofing qualities.

 

X2. I would never put that on my truck, no offense.

 

In pharmacy, we call that an off-label use.

 

Amsoil HD Metal Protector. Inexpensive and easy to apply. It's a cosmoline wax so it holds up the entire winter. Looks good once applied also. So far, very happy with it.

 

What about whale oil? My uncle Quint has a boatload of the stuff....?

 

Never seen a Duck with a rusty under carriage yet ....but surly wouldn’t recommend a rubberized product you’ll end up with a unhappy rubber ducky ...holding any salt and moisture in isn’t a good thing.

But on the other hand corrosion free is a great option. No smell at all.

Just delivered today....this stuff really works and ..will not affect any of the rubber or electrical components. Also doesn’t drip like crown or Rust check.
This is the first year for us to do our own fleet.
Will see soon how well that goes for us!!

 

I think something like this would work great



TS-115 Corrosion Control Grease
[10-115-101]
16oz ctg
Application

TS-115 is a multi-purpose, bearing and machinery grease for use where salt water, salt air or atmospheric chemicals are present. Plants such as fertilizer, desalinization, petroleum, chemical, caustic, soda, potash plants, and sewage treatment could all use TS-115. In addition, TS-115 also may be used in underwater conditions or as an assembly lube where elastomer compatability is important.

Benefits

TS-115 has proven effective to protect equipment from rust and corrosion. It has a high melting point, over 500°F, outstanding mechanical stability, and excellent resistance to water washout. It may also be used as a protective coating for exposed metal to prevent rustin

I’m feeling the Grease Train gathering steam!

 

Jeez! What does it look like when driven down a dusty country road for miles with all the oil/grease coating/packed everywhere? Won't that cause some grit to stick and grind away at joints/movement points? I guess its better than the alternative....

 

Go back and see post #13 for the picture I posted. First few weeks some dirty will stick as the grease is shiney/gooey. After a month or so the grease on frame starts to turn doughy. This past year since doing it, the frame has maintained a matte finish with a doughy surface layer. Using MolyB Grease. Not sure how other greases will perform.

 

Another potential alternative is Gentoo™ Quart Kit (Part A and B) Hydrophobic Coating. Not specifically designed for vehicle undercarriages but works very well on other metal surfaces exposed to harsh conditions. Some what expensive but a single application has water and salt shedding properties that allow this system to be ideal for corrosion resistance according to product specifications. It would be interesting to hear from anyone who has experience or better knowledge of this product.

I'd guess it would work but oof, the smell. Remember gear oil back in the day with whale oil additives? Stinky!

 

What's the best method for clenaing one's frame prior to applying any of these cocktails? Also, I'm beginning to lean towards the AMSOIL MP HD. How many cans to do the job?

 

I just spray mine down with a pressure washer or go to the quarter wash and use theirs.

 

the 02 tacoma had 3m cavity wax put in the frame rails when it was new. When i use a bore scope inside the frame, 18 years later, theres no rust to speak of inside.


now the outside? i need to address that. its getting ugly. (not rot.. just ugly)

 

I knew this guy that used to drive thru the fast food slosh pit out back. The French Fry Grease Residue worked wonders.

 

U really dont need to clean your frame at all unless if it has road salt residue still on it or if there is mud all over your frame imo

 

Are u crazy? Lol

 

That dusty road is probably covered in a salt brine to keep the dust down. Not even touching on the honey lol

 

What are y’all doing for surface rust on painted surfaces. Corner of tailgate. Various small paint chips to hood and rust
Tape and spray with rust reformer then cover with auto paint?

 

I may be switching over to Corn Oil Latherings in the near future just for the sake of being environmentally conscious. Its safer and sexier than Fluid Film. Lasts about the same amount of time.

Pampered Chef makes a great spritzer.

 

I follow your humor. However, spraying that GMO corn onto your vehicle is probably the most toxic thing for you and the environment LOL

 

But it sounds so good!

They used the Pampered Chef Spritzer on my hands before photo shoots back in the day. Where am I going with this? I need help.

 

Maybe you're in over your head with still trying to turn left, getting the kids into the center and all. Can't save the planet all at once.
