Edit 11/4/22 Going forward Surface shield will have a female top on the aerosol cans like the other products that are out in the market. This means the grafitti adapter is no longer required to attach the inner cavity tool to the aerosol can. As of now both the male and female cans are on store shelves. Just something to watch for.

I just tried surface shield for the first time this past weekend on some round frame rails before putting caps on the end Inside the wheel wells. I picked up 10 cans from Harbor Frieght and to my surprise I got 7 cans with a male end, and 3 cans with the new female end. I wasn't aware of Blaster making this change, so I had already purchased a cavity coating wand made by 3M that accepts the male end cans. Now I'll have to buy another wand for these new style cans. I'm curious, have you verified that the KBS coating wand works with the new female surface shield cans? Or have you sprayed it with the KBS wand and the graffiti adapter?

I heat the Woolwax to about 180* and blast inside all the frame holes. It comes out so fine that you can actually see plumes of W.W. mist come out in all other areas of the frame, far away from where I am actually spraying. This ensures that the inside of the frame is coated as well. Great videos!

by the stuff and pay someone with an undercoating gun to do it, or pay somebody to do it with aerosol cans.

I have a 2015 crv. I’ve fluid filmed it since it was 2 months old. I live about 45 minutes from you. I’m dead sold on either product. I love that your proving over and over is you can have a rust free car anywhere if you just take the time and do what you do. I drive 76 everyday so it’s brutal on the salt spray. Great video man !!!!!

Fantastic, I look forward to this every year!

We all have personal needs that we have to take care of first, ie mortgage, rent, car payments, children, credit cards, cell phones etc. With that being said you do what you have to do! Your the reason I started coating my 2005 Ford excursion with wool wax. This is my second year and I really like the results. I only choose wool wax because I wanted black undercoating. I live in SD and I drive nationwide for work ( Wildland firefighter) I drive on a ton of dirt roads, the product holds up! Thank you for taking time to do the research, film, edit and post this video. You keep testing I'll keep watching and make my decision based off information given.

Great job. I just had my new F150 coated thoroughly with Surface Shield by a true professional when it come to undercoating 😉. Can’t wait to see the results after a Cleveland winter. Definitely will follow your recommendation and have it done again next year.

Thank you for another great review. I have you to thank for introducing me to Fluid Film and Surface Shield years ago. I bought a 2019 Honda Passport new. I coated it that summer after seeing your video's. I just went under it the other day and it looks great. Just light minor stuff, bracket bolts etc...that get road spray get a little iffy, but nothing major. Thanks again for all your testing and reviews!! Keep doing the reviews! I'd love to see a 7 year or more when that time comes.

Thank you for the updates! Good /luck with your new endeavors!

Love your honesty and content .. Thank You

I drive a 19’ Toyota Tundra and i live in Erie Pennsylvania. I don’t care what you drive around here, you must undercoat!.. i have black fluid film applied every October and i still have “No rust, at all” …. All the stuff they put on the roads be it salt, brine, sand, cinders will eat an untreated vehicle alive in no time. Protect your investment. 😊

Mad respect for you brother! Way to stand up for what’s right.

Really appreciate this content. It takes a huge amount of energy and resources to make a vehicle. Anyone who promotes protecting these vehicles from corrosion so they last as long as possible is doing a great service to people and the environment. I have lots of experience with fluid film and I found it washed off too easily (salt/snow belt Ontario), and it is expensive. I also have experience with "annual dripless underbody oil" from Carquest. I can get a 5 g bail for the same cost of 1g fluid film. This stuff is 100% dripless and seems to last longer although it's likely toxic compared to lanolin.

Congratulations on your new job! You have an excellent channel thank you!

THANK YOU for the updates!

Took your experience and bought two cans of Surface Shield today. Wiped down Wrangler's rear, removed all the dirt, did some basic tiny rust spot removal with wire wheel, and sprayed. That stuff is crazy, sticks like glue. Very slippery and gel-like.

I just had my new Outback undercoated with Fluid Film. I ran out of time to do it myself, so I had another company do it. I wanted to use Surface Shield based on your results but I could not find any dealers. I realize it is a new product, but Blaster needs to have an online list of applicators once the product gets more established.

Keep doing what u're doing. Great work.

I like the flammability test you did, keep the great work. I use both fluid film and blaster. I use fluid film on non-washed areas and blaster on washed areas. I confirmed also after a year that the blaster was still on my bolts around my wheel wells. Thanks for all of your reviews. God bless you and your family!!!!!!!

Tell blaster to put a better spray nozzle on the spray cans, had issues spraying it this weekend, product was indoors before I used it and it was 70 degrees outside and kept the can shook up, had to remove and reinstall the nozzle multiple times. I like the product so far, they need to get more of it out there it was kinda hard to find, thanks for listening

I just bought cans and ordered a pail on line. getting my new vehicle by the end of the month. Last vehicle so I want todo a good job of it. Thanks for your web page, it fixed that hole, so to speak lol Your an honest man. I respect that.I have tried them all, and it is time for 'Blaster'!

I watched a lot of undercoating review to settle on which product o was going to offer in my business. I've sprayed both WW and FF and found WW to be better for long term adhesion. I've not tried Blaster mainly because of the cost but from what I've gathered is Blaster is essentially the same as FF and WW but has petroleum jelly added to increase its longevity. When I do undercoating I spray thick. Usually 1.5 to 2 gal for a truck. I also spray everything including the floor pans and bottom of the bed. On my second year I had a few repeat customers and was beginning to think they weren't satisfied and went elsewhere. That wasn't the case at all. They simply saw that it didn't need another coat. Again, thanks for your honest reviews.

Great update, thanks!!

We use fluid film in aviation on every part to prevent corrosion and I love this stuff, like you said before it will become more viscous after it's been applied and left for a few days especially in the cold

Thx for the video. These products flat out work. I’ve been using them since 2007, before that, hydraulic fluid.

Congratulations. Well deserved. Excellent videos. Used surface shield on my 2015 King Ranch PowerStroke. Looked ok after 2 Upper Peninsula Winters and weekly car washes, it washed off rather quickly. Used the spray cans. 3 didn’t work. Counted it as a loss. I’ll be buying the 5gal bucket this year to spray my new Tacoma and a friends vehicles. Lesson learned on the cans. Thanks for the videos. I’ve turned a few folks onto surface shield. Just not the aerosol cans lol.

Awesome results I’ve been following your channel for awhile. I have a 2002 Chevy Tracker that I bought here in Michigan pretty rusty being on a budget I made my own undercoating out of toilet wax rings, bar and chain oil, boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits to thin it. After two years and two treatments it’s held up very well and the cost is significantly less. I wish I had the means to do a in-depth results video like yours that being said I’d like to see you do one with a homemade undercoating like mine.

Thanks for the great reviews and bonesty. Good Luck to you!

Glad this was the first thing I applied to my 4runner when I purchased it new.

Congratulations on your job. You are right not to do your pickup every year I have been coat mine 17 years it gets to messy .I scraped some off last year.

Thanks for your testing!!! :)

Love your common sense science approach and the very useful info you provide. Frame rust is car cancer. I hate it. I looked at a dozen used 4Runners in Cincinnati and they all had very rusted frames, spray painted black. I could poke the frame in the back with my finger and chunks of bubbled rust would flake off, held together by the fresh black paint. Frame rust is much worse in Ohio than it is here in central Kentucky and we salt and brine our roads quite a bit.

The Surface Shield that I applied a year ago to my 4Runner undercarriage still looks good. I need to get it up on jack stands and put on another coat this year before the roads are salted. I just bought a 1996 Hijet mini truck from Japan where they apparently don't salt their roads. It has only minor surface corrosion on the frame. It's getting a good spray of Surface Shield before I drive it in any winter weather. Thanks for talking Blaster into a spray can nozzle that doesn't need an adapter for a spray wand to spray inside frames and body panels.

Thanks for the video, I wish I had come across your videos a couple years ago when I bought my new 2021 Jeep Wrangler. Now I will have to wait till spring or summer to do all my vehicles since I'm in NE Indiana & don't work on vehicles in the winter anymore, unless I have to.

Thank you looks awesome 👌

congrats on the new gig man! good on ya for calling out the clowns out there running their pie holes.

I’ve used both Surface Prep & Fluid Film, and they work. Agree, SP is easier to spray, and a little thinner (creeps well). Most of the benefit is in thorough application. The first application is the most time & product consuming as every nook & cranny needs covered. But each year after that gets easier, I just hit the high splash areas. Both great.

Sooooo..........thanks to your video and review of "Surface Shield," I undercoated my 2019 Impala with Surface Shield today. Took about six cans, probably could have done it with less, but sometimes I get carried away. LOL!!! Next year, I'm going to purchase a paint spray kit and purchase a five gallon bucket of the stuff. .....and I live in NE Indiana, so I feel your pain when it comes to crap weather and salt eating away our vehicles.

I’m a Woolwax and Fluid Film user. If The newcomer, Surface Shield, has been available when I started using lanolin I’d likely use it as well. Fluid Film is available at Walmart, for me that’s a plus (actually a minus since I get a discount😊). Woolwax was the first one to be available in black so I use it mainly on the underside because it just looks sweet when it’s fresh. Fluid Film goes everywhere “hidden” I’ll likely not switch from my current product and annual or as needed applications. Reason is these products just work and are not very costly for a DIYer. You keep doing what you do, you do it well.

It looks like it works really good!

I did recently switch to surface shield and I'm not going back. Thanks again.

Appreciate your honesty. Any treatment with lanolin based products to rust belt vehicles is going to help prolong the damage done by municipal ice treatment products.

Usually just touch ups are necessary after the first coat. As long as you get inside the frame good.

Glad I stumbled onto your channel. I have a 2015 Tahoe and live in SE Ohio (Marietta area). I'm at right 190k mile's and need to coat my Tahoe in something. The factory wax like coating is worn off in a lot of spots. I'd like to touch it up and also spray stuff into the rockers and inner fenders etc.

I just got a gallon of Surface Shield. Pricey.... I only had to do minimal recoat after using a couple of cans last year. The stuff is good. Every year I have to spray less and less, but there are spots that need to be shot. I will spray the inside of the frame with FF next year. The only obvious spots I needed are from rock chips. Look at the MSDS for each product FF and SS. They are very similar except SS has petroleum jelly. SS has less offensive odor as well. I can see applications for both products and will continue to use both. Thank you for your video on these products, or my 4runner would be out there rusting away.

Thanks for the content Repair Geek. You're the only one on KZread that has done this yearly update. Question though, does anyone know what would happen if you spray oil or lanolin on metal and then use rubberized coating on top of said oil coating?

It probably wont stick. You can add graphite powder to any of these products to turn them black just like traditional undercoating.

God Bless You. Stay Curious on Everything In Life.

Here is another solvent experiment. Expose different anti rust compounds to the air. Your Scientific Method is good enough to figure out the rest. Stay curious. Oooo. Merch with "Stay Curious" might be a good seller if no one else is using it. You are doing a great job. Keep it up.

I live in the Salt Belt and started using Woolwax when I got my 07 Silverado from Texas about 3 years ago. All our cars get a treatment every May and touch-ups in October. I even spray over the rust and it slows down or stops further rust. You can even spray inside frame channels. Advice: if you use an air compressor, put an air dryer between the compressor and your air gun, otherwise you may be trapping moisture inside the Woolwax. Also warm the quart jugs in the sun (or in hot water if you live in the northeast where the sun doesn't exist) to make it flow better.

Great job

Excellent 👍👍

Holy mack I guess it's works! Look at how bad the exhaust corroded and no rust any were else. I know that exhausts rust quick. The exhaust look so rusty it shows how bad the conditions are, that these products perform and survive in. Nice! Buying some tomorrow.

Thanks for your transparency! Your videos are very informative. I now Fluid film spray my car myself (cannot find a dealer nearby) and I would be curious to test Blaster undercoating but don't sell it in Canada 😞

I coated my entire snowplow including the frame and everything mounted to it 2 years ago with Surface Shield shortly after buying the plow. I have a deep scratch on the front of plow just above the cutting edge. The only thing I've sprayed on it since is the front of plow which gets most of the abuse from grit and salt. That scratch that's on the plow still hasn't rusted and there is not a speck of rust on any part of the plow or any bolt, screw, hydraulic hose fitting, pin, spring, cylinder, etc. That stuff is great!

I love you, RepairGeek. Stay curious. Your lights will stay on!

Thanks for the well-thought-out videos! Question: Would I have to strip/power wash Sta-Bil Rust Stopper before using Surface Shield?
