Let’s face it. You love your car. You spend hours inside it every week, stare at it every day and dote on it lovingly to keep its appearance up. Heck, if it was a person, it would probably be one of your best friends, maybe even your spouse. So, why take it for granted or deprive it of the best?

Fluid Film will protect your baby from moisture and road salt. It will keep the paint vibrant, rubber siding soft, plastic fresh and shiny and battery terminals corrosion free for a minimum of a year. It will also shine up chrome and keep it rust proof, protect the undercoating through winter, keep seat tracks, door hinges, hood and truck latches lubricated and ensure your door locks are smooth and easy to operate.

What are you waiting for?

With gas prices causing migraines on the family budget, the last thing you want to worry about is corrosion. Moisture has a way of creeping into cracks and sitting, eating away at metal like a cancer. One application of Fluid Film can seal out and displace moisture for at least a year in voids and susceptible areas of the underbody. If your paint job is looking like Tuesdays leftover meatloaf, spray on some Fluid Film and rub it in like a wax. It will bring back the luster and have it looking more like a Rachel Ray Special. (Sorry, I'm getting hungry).

To help stretch your dollar we have included some timely gas tips to make driving a little less painful. It's what we do. Help stretch your dollar:

ENGINE WARM-UP

1. Avoid prolonged warming up of engine, even on cold mornings - 30 to 45 seconds is plenty of time.

2. Don't start and stop engine needlessly. Idling your engine for one minute consumes the gas amount equivalent to when you start the engine.

3. Avoid "reving" the engine, especially just before you switch the engine off; This wastes fuel

4. Accelerate slowly when starting from dead stop. Don't push pedal down more than 1/4 of the total foot travel.

HOW TO BUY GASOLINE

5. Buy gasoline during coolest time of day - early morning or late evening is best. During these times gasoline is densest.

6. Choose type and brand of gasoline carefully. Certain brands provide you with greater economy because of better quality.

7. Avoid filling gas tank to top. Overfilling results in sloshing over and out of tank. Never fill gas tank past the first "click" of fuel nozzle, if nozzle is automatic.

HOW TO DRIVE ECONOMICALLY

8. Exceeding 40 mph forces your auto to overcome tremendous wind resistance.

9. Never exceed legal speed limit.

10. Traveling at fast rates in low gears can consume up to 45% more fuel than is needed.

11. Keep windows closed when traveling at highway speeds. Open windows cause air drag, reducing your mileage by 10%.

12. Drive steadily. Slowing down or speeding up wastes fuel. Also avoid tailgating - the driver in front of you is unpredictable. Not only is it unsafe, but if affects your economy, if he slows down unexpectedly.

13. Think ahead when approaching hills. If you accelerate, do it before you reach the hill, not while you're on it.

GENERAL ADVICE

14. Do not rest left foot on floor board pedals while driving. The slightest pressure puts "mechanical drag" on components, wearing them down prematurely. This "dragging" also demands additional fuel usage.

15. Avoid rough roads whenever possible, because dirt or gravel rob you of up to 30% of your gas mileage.

16. Compare traveling distance differences - remember that corners, curves and lane jumping require extra gas. The shortest distance between two points is always straight.

17. Stoplights are usually timed for your motoring advantage. By traveling steadily at the legal speed limit you boost your chances of having the "green light" all the way.

18. Automatic transmissions should be allowed to cool down when your car is idling at a standstill, e.g. railroad crossings, long traffic lights, etc. Place gear into neutral position. This reduces transmission strain and allows transmission to cool.

19. Park your car backwards so that you can later begin to travel in forward gear; avoid reverse gear maneuvers to save gas.

20. Regular tune-ups ensure best economy; check owner's manual for recommended maintenance intervals. Special attention should be given to maintaining clean air filters... diminished air flow increases gas waste.

Here are a few testimonials from different automotive forums where Fluid Film has proven its usefulness.

"I recommend the Fluid Film product for several reasons including the fact that it’s environmentally friendly, it can be bought in bulk, it doesn’t dry up or harden, repels water, soaks into rust, and can be effective for many years. It is most efficiently applied with a pressurized spray gun that is used with a compressor. If you want to buy or rent one I would suggest talking to someone at a paint shop or a place that sells compressor accessories. If you don’t have access to this type of compressor, Fluidfilm can be purchased in spray cans, although they are not as effective as a proper spray gun. The idea of this method is to apply the rust proofing to as many areas in the car’s body as possible using all the car’s existing holes to your advantage. This means removing factory plugs, trim, door skins, seats, lights, carpet, hood liner, trunk liner, fender well shields, etc, etc. Get the idea?  Once you access these areas, you will start to realize how easy it is for rust to from due often to a lack of protection."

"It works very well I've got spots on my XJ that I sprayed 2 years ago that are still protected from it. It also works great on electrical connections, my plow installer used it on all of the connections he made on the install and there isn't any corrosion at all appearing on the connections again after 2 years."

"Spend some time reading about fluid film. You will be amazed and it does work. They salt heavily in Idaho where I live. Undercoating will typically worsen corrosion by traping it. I spray the entire underside of the car and inside panels in the fall which has led to no rust issues to date."

Have you seen the test results?

Results of an outside, independent test. Each products was sprayed onto 3" x 6" cold-rolled steel panels, allowed to dry for twenty four hours and then placed in a Salt Spray Chamber for 1,176 hours (7 weeks), according to ASTM B117 standards
