..This stuff is supposed to be better than WD-40, so I'd venture a guess that "Yes," they'd get rid of the door hinge squeak.

Fluid Film does so much more than stop squeaks, but yes, it will certainly stop squeaks, and stop them for extended periods of time.

The difference between Fluid Film and almost all competitive products is the lack of solvents. With no solvent content, Fluid Film will not evaporate or get gummy or tacky, meaning much more usable product that lasts a heck of a long time.

Just so everyone is aware, this sampling program is not cheap. It is one of the most expensive ways to advertise. That shows just how confident we are in this product. So please give this a good test and provide feedback after receiving one. In all fairness, it will take a little time to notice just how good it is, when you see how long it takes to have to reapply.

Got my sample. We've got a lot of machinery in the shop and I hate surface rust. I like the fact I can use it on equipment that rarely gets used and it won't evaporate next week. It's definitely waxy and I don't know if I'd use it on some of our precision machines but it's great for mill tables, vises, anvils, jigs, items that get heavily used, etc.

The smell is a little strong but it may of been because I used too much. A little goes a long way. By the way, how much does a can of this cost?

Thanks for the sample!

I used my whole sample can today.

Here is where I used it:
1) shock mounts
2) passenger side upper control arm (it is really rusty)
3) those edges in front of the rear wheels I referred to earlier
4) Some rusty spots on the floorpans
5) other random rust spots

I ran out of stuff in the can before I sprayed down all the rust on my car... yeah, mine is that bad
Anyway, I did notice, as advertised, that it did not evaporate or run off. Left a film over everything I sprayed it on.

Now to see whether it stops the rust in its tracks. That will be harder to determine I think. There were a couple spots that the paint underneath had gotten chipped off recently, but no rust had started forming on it yet, so those two areas will be good for seeing how well this stuff prevents/stops rust.

The average cost of a regular, 11 3/4 oz can is between $8.50 - $9.00. You could certainly use it on weatherstripping. Just rub it in to avoid left over residue.

PM Sent if the offer is still there. Would love to try this on the GXP. (Yeah, the 98 SS is almost spotless and the 2 1/2 year old GXP needs this stuff bad--I dunno)

I finally got my can the other day. The damned mailman apparently can't tell the difference between an 8 and a 3. I haven't used it on my car yet, but I have tried it out.

I sprayed it on the hinges of my fridge and my computer chair. They both squeaked like crazy and it was really getting irritating. It works incredibly well for those applications, but beware using it indoors as the smell of the spray can linger for a day or so if it's not well ventilated. But that's to be expected so no surprises there.

I'm gonna go hit the hinges on my car doors and hatch to treat them, then hit up the rust on my quarter and see if it stops it. I'll post updates after it's had some time to work.

So far a great product! I'll end up buying a full size can once this runs out. Are they available yet?

How does your product match up against PB Blaster?
I will be installing my long tube headers on a 2000 LS1 Trans Am with 88,000 Northeast miles on it in the next week or so.

I will use Fluid Film on one side of the engine & PB Blaster on the other. I'll report back with how it performs against PB.

PM sent for the free sample offer, I heard on another forum I hang out on that commercial landscapers are using this stuff by spraying the underside of their lawn mowers to keep them from rusting and also keeping stuff from sticking to the underside of the mowers...?

I'm planning on repainting my headers soon. After I paint them with black, can I spray a coat of this on there to help prevent rust? Or will it not stick to the paint good enough to protect?
