@@Sound_The_War-Cry Bad idea. Paint does not displace moisture. So any moisture that was on the surface or in the pores of the metal/rust are just sealed in by the paint. This is also the same reason why traditional undercoating fails. It seals in moisture. Also any chips in the paint will let moisture in as well. Lanolin will displace moisture and create a barrier between the oxygen and the metal so it can't rust. I don't care who makes the Lanolin product they all function better than paint or rubberized undercoatings but need re-applied every year.

I did purchase Surface Shield for my FJ that always has surface rust. It does work and I have to thank you for steering me in the right direction! ❤

I started watching your videos because I heard you mention lanolin as an undercoat. The reason it interested me was because I am an industrial machine mechanic, I work in alot of different environments from high to low temp. and different percentages of humidity. I began using a tool bag several years ago and my Dad told me that if I was going to be working in all these different environments that I should thin coat my stuff with lanolin to prevent everything from rusting. That was thirty years ago, my Dad is gone but every tool I owned from that time is still rust free. I still have guys ask me when they see me loading up my tools what am I using and I tell them lanolin. I use mineral spirits to clean and lanolin to protect. Then I usually have to have the WD-40 argument with them. I have seen machines get destroyed because these guys grow up thinking WD-40 does it all, it does not. Anyway, you gave me some justification for my seemingly anal aversion to WD-40 and my belief in lanolin. You have useful info and your presentation is concise and interesting! Great stuff!

Bro your long drawn out test are top tier. Going beyond what others would do. Thank you so much.

Blaster Surface Shield Home Made Extension Sprayer for $5 : Needed items 3/16 copper or steel tubing , 3/16 drill bit,4 ft of clear flexible rubber tubing and a little JB weld . Remove the spray nozzle from the blaster can . Carefully drill out the black spray orfice with a 3/16 drill, drill out just the black part . Take 3 inches of the copper tubing , chamfer debur the end , apply JB to the outside of the tubing and press it into the spray nozzle where you drill it out . Add the 4 feet of clear tubing to the copper tubing and you are done . Worked great for me . I took it one step further and heated the end of the clear tubing and pressed it together in a vise to plug/close it off & then drill about 30 tiny holes in the length of the tubing at different spots and angles and this thing sprays Surface shield in all directions very well . This does not take long and works well inside rocker panels , the frame and other cavities .

Thank you for your evaluation of this product. I also live in Streetsboro Ohio not far from you and own a 2011 2500HD Silverado. She had been partially oils sprayed in the past but after multiple car washes its all getting washed away leaving a rusty frame. This product just might be what I need.

Thanks for this video. I'm bringing a rust free truck home to Akron and I've been looking for a DIY rustproofing to put on it before winter. The salt here in Akron is brutal.

I'd love to see a progressive long term test with a daily driver where you break the car into 3 or 4 treatment zones, LF RF LR RR, if you could even leave some portions of the chassis/body with a no treatment factory finish divider. A truck always makes for good chassis to use lots of open areas .

Great work !!! This has been very helpful picking a product that will work well in the "salt belt" of PA.

You could always do the drivers side in Blaster and the passenger side with the remaining products you have. That way it could be done and in use by the time winter rolls around.

I use oil and it does the same thing for a few days.I think they use petro jelly in that and it melts.

So to elaborate on the wash off performance a little bit. Surface shield stays wet just like Woolwax, FF, NHOU, etc. The difference is with Surface Shield is when the initial "wetness" has been washed away by water spray, Surface Sheild has something in the product that makes it cling on the surface and continues to protect. I sprayed some exterior surfaces of my work car as a test. At the end of the winter the only way I could get it off the outside of the car was to literally SCRUB with a wash mitt. Just like cosmoline which does not creep, my pressure washer would not touch the Surface Shield. The difference is when it's wet Surface Shield creeps like crazy! Giving you the best of both world's. I didn't record this wash unfortunately because I had no idea that Surface Shield would behave this way. The reason that I'm elaborating on this is because I know people in the undercoating industry watch my channel and they will without a doubt put Surface Sheild in their salt spray cabinet and possibly claim their product is better than Surface Shield in a salt spray cabinet. Problem is salt spray cabinets are not reality. My testing has given repeatable results that differ from manufacturers salt spray testing results and have found issues with formulations that even the product chemists could not explain. Even testing multiple batches I've gotten the same results... My challenge to these other undercoating manufacturers is to subject Suface Shield to a test in reality before claiming to have the best product on the market...

@@usmc2msu213 The big variable is time. This is going to get long... Manufacturers use these salt spray cabinets as a way of doing standardized testing. These cabinets are $30,000 so not many people have access to one. The way these tests are conducted is they spray salt water on a test panel for X number of hours. The longer that the test panel survives without rust the "better" the product. I don't have specifics on how long each product lasts in these cabinets but, my tests ran for 5 months or about 4400 hours on that telephone pole. A typical salt spray test is 5 to 200 hours depending on how the product holds up. I've had manufacturers tell me up and down that their product will last longer in a salt cabinet than FF. I get their product and as it turns out, it doesn't preform as well as FF in my testing This is the most glaring example:kzread.info/dash/bejne/oYygys-bpsexctI.html Thinking I got an old gallon they sent another to test. I got the same result: kzread.info/dash/bejne/a4eDsciTdtDOg7w.html This manufacturer could not explain these results. Their chemists could not explain these results. Testing 2 different batches gave the same result. As a manufacturer you shouldn't be finding out issues related to your product because some guy on the internet attached some scrap metal to a pole. As a content creator whose video's will be up on youtube for years it's very hard for me to get behind a product that is constantly being reformulated. In the video linked above the manufacture even commented that they were already working on their next revision to the formula right after a new version had just come out. In my personal opinion this company is not doing enough testing before releasing a new formula. So if I go online and say product X will keep your vehicle from rusting, 2 years from now and 4 formula revisions later it may no longer be a good product, people possibly develop rust, and I look like the bad guy because the audience has no idea 4 formula revisions that have taken place between my recommendation and present time, with little testing outside of a salt spray cabinet. This is not a shot at that company I have spoken with them at length about different products. They are truly fantastic people, some of the nicest people out there, and I cannot understate that enough. I just can't get behind the product with constant reformulations.

Maybe I’m not understanding things correctly at 7:55 but one thing I would take into consideration is that the surface shield was sprayed onto a plastic surface and fluid film onto a metal surface. A polymer (oil) will interact/adhere more strongly with another polymer (plastic wheel well) and maybe even absorb into the plastic, and will have a weaker adhesion to the metal of the frame

Great video! I recently moved to the US from Australia and was absolutely blown away by the lack of two simple product bases for corrosion inhibiting in the states. Lanolin for one, which there are a few products for, but the biggest lack in the market here seems to be fish oil. You can walk into any auto store in Australia and buy deoderised fish oil in an aerosol. Whilst it isn't the best for undercarriage on it's own, it is great for inner sill cavities and the like. It's sprays fluid and dries tacky. There is a great product in Australia called KO-66 which is a lanolin, fish oil and bitchumen mix which is top notch, yet to find anything similar over here. Also similarly seems to be a lack of easy to access cavity waxes! Also great to use in sills and door skins etc.

Whatever you do, make sure you do a thorough job. That salt and chlorinated liquid can get in all the nooks and crannies you miss. And there are a LOT of nooks and crannies. Pay special attention to brake lines, fuel lines, fuel tank straps, and pull any plastic body plugs in doors or under panels and spray in there. Spray above the spare tire on your truck. Inside frame rails. Inside the tailgate. Behind the tail lights, all the door latches too. Get inside the panels of the bed as good as you can. Spray the wheel wells. Inside the fenders too. A rust free vehicle in the salt belt is like a unicorn. If you coat it really good though, you can keep it that way.

Thank you for the testing. I generally have been keeping my undercarriage on my 2011 Tundra 4WD rust free with Eastwood Chassis Black.. get under and touch up usually each year. But I do have a can of the Blaster, and was planning to use it where it makes sense.

Home Depot has exclusive rights to way too many products and the pricing is out of sight. No competition equals higher prices.

As you said have to be able to have an internal cavity sprayer and must have in black. Thanks for the review.

Just sprayed my 2015 Silverado hd with this stuff works pretty good so far! Been using fluid film but after this video I switch to the surface shield!

Good video young man. I am a retired Mechanic from the Operating Engineers here in Akron. I have use Blaster Products forever. I will try Surface Shield. I used for years some of my own concoctions that are interesting. Any way good video.

Hey thanks for doing all this valuable research. I’ve been using rust check and krown with good results but newer vehicles are rust resistant coated from the factory better than they used to be. I haven’t kept a vehicle long enough to prove they actually work but the exposed parts on the underbody are mostly missing any undercoating after a winter. I’m thinking surface shield may be the answer for best all around coverage. Just wondering what your thoughts are with using it bulk with a pressurized 1 liter undercoating gun rather than the air / siphon type sprayer. Wouldn’t that make less air borne when spraying?

Thank you for your informative videos. It would be interesting to see how the products hold up on pitted metal vs. smooth pre-rust metal. I get a lot of salt and clay mud on the frame of my GM pickup, and have experimented with paint, rubberized undercoating, and finally oil. The oil hands down works the best. I've been using Krown and will definitely check out Blaster. I watched one of your earlier videos where Krown did not perform well on the roadside test, but I think it may hold up better on pitted vs. smooth metal (of course ideally stopping rust before it pits would be the goal - and I wish GM would e-coat their frames on full size trucks). Thanks again!

Rubberized coating is absolutely the worst thing in the world to use. Rubberized coating is actually WORSE than doing nothing at all. For more information, I highly recommend you check out the video "Rubberized Undercoating Will Destroy Your Car!" by the South Main Auto Repair channel, and see it for yourself. Never never never use rubberized coating.

Great review, thanks for sharing 👌🏾😎👍🏾👍🏾 i have some, cant wait to use it on my Mustang

Cool video - when I run out of Woolswax & Fluidfilm I will give the Surface Shield product a try. I really like using these natural safe for the environment products.

Thanks for the in depth videos! How is this as a penatrant? Does it soak into and slow down existing rust?

Thanks, I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The winters here are harsh ND with all the salt they use, I'm going to go to home depot and pick up a few to do the bottom on my Cadillac Escalade Esv.

Yes! I purchased this product some years back and it really is the best!

I'm in Cleveland so right down the road from you and I tried Blaster product last year and loved it plus it was only $5 a can. No rust to report. Trying Fluid Film and Surface Shield this year on our vehicles. PB Blaster has always been good stuff. It will turn black but I just wipe excess off around quarter panels. After replacing break lines and other rusted parts on my 03' Escalade, Im not letting that happen to my 16' Ram because once Ram starts to rust its over with. Lol. Thanks again for this video.

@@kimbuck-2 afaik toyotas come with a galvanized coating, or some type of coating, that so long as it's there it basically makes the frame rust proof. It's best to waste the car during winter season every week or two though. But technically they don't need it. They started doing the plating/coating like 20 years ago? It's nice for customers tho

Might not be as easy to use as the cavity attachment, but you can use the WD-40 spray nozzles with the red straw attached. You could probably even rig it with a extension to make it easier.

Just got my first truck 2015 silverado and it's in nice shape for michigan no body rust and I want to keep it that way. I've been considering doing something but looks like I need to invest in something along these lines. A gallon bucket and a sprayer for about 150.00 and some of my time would probably prevent a hundred headaches down the road.

Looks like good product. Like ur extended mud flaps too. Undercoating years ago got hard cracked held in water. That looks good for rustproofing. Before vechial ever sees a winter.

FF stops rust dead. I would be interested how well the blaster stops rust also

Nice video, have you tested it on a rusted surface or just clean metal?

I'm intrigued. However, I have a few cans of Woolwax I need to use. What concerns me about the long lasting part of it though is how well it attracts dirt and doesn't wash off. One thing I've found with Woolwax is my frame appearing to have surface rust simply because of the red dirt from some of my off roading trips in Michigan's upper peninsula not wanting to wash off that easily. Not a big deal because it isn't rust, but still. On the other hand, I specifically chose Woolwax over Fluid Film because of the concerns about FF washing off come spring time and people needing to reapply it.

Awesome job! Thanks for the great Video!

Very interesting. I've tried Fluid Film on some chassis parts here in the rust belt and the stuff just washed off upon spring time inspection of the application. Will have to give Surface Shield a try. Time always tells all and I suspect that most people who have tried it out and written reviews haven't truly been able to test it out yet. Comparing the SDSs of the two products does look promising for Surface Shield. UPDATE: after only one month, with two test samples placed outside, one piece with the Fluid Film applied is showing rust while the side with Surface Shield still looks fine. As I suspected the Fluid Film washes off too easily. UPDATE: after two months, both Fluid Film and Surface Shield have washed off my test samples. So both product don't last and really are not suitable for undercarriage use.

What’s the best brand then?

More competition for this sort of product is great. I will have a hard time switching from fluid film though. I kept a 1989 4Runner (notorious for rusting) generally rust free for 30 years in the northeast of the U.S. That means salt and brine all winter. On year 6 with a Wrangler and the same, rust free. If you spray any of these brands on THICK and let it get DIRTY and leave it on forever, it won’t matter how long a company claims it lasts. The formulation last long past two years. I just spray on top of each years application, but I guarantee I could skip a few years and it would be just fine.

@wheezin_mtnbkr good job on the Wrangler, they are notorious to rusting I will have to try it with my next car. Currently looking for a car, because mine got totalled in April by another driver. It was 2002 Buick Lesabre and the only rust it had was tiny bit above the rear wheel on the fender, and I noticed at the end when cleaning that the water was coming into the trunk and made a rusty trail inside the trunk.

Thank you for the good info.. and thank you blaster for making a great product..

Love true reviews! Dope content.

Interesting! I would like to purchase some of this amazing new product, where in Canada will this be available? I am sure Canadian Tire in Canada would love to offer this product to its customers.

I’m pretty interested in surface shield but am wondering if you’re currently doing a long term test on it now? I’m a bit skeptical to buy until I see you do your long term test and post results. It’s easy to claim they’re the best based on the consistency and ease of application due to said consistency but I want to see the results. I will be waiting for an update video come spring time!

Given that Repair Geek was sponsored by PB Blaster to make this video, I would not trust what I see here either. I'll wait until Project Farm does testing with this stuff before I can believe it. Until then, I'll keep using Fluid Film.
