hot weather rustproofing

[peter lena 8,634]

been upgrading my grandsons pick up , hot metal , really helps in lubrication spreading, confined areas / seams , boxed joint areas . quickly spread from the starting spot , use a penetrant first , so the flow and spread , easily gets into hot metal , spread points, also replaced front control arms , 4 wheel alignment . then over spray  following day , with a heavy   open gear spray , that is easily drawn in by the penetrant first spray. I use a Tyvek  paper suit , gloves , mask . tailgate oil seam is total , so are doors and body seams , did a thorough baseline service , verified everything and went new on worn areas . the truck looks transformed,  most important , everything works , total rustproofing , should  be good , grandpa , pete

   @ineedanother , been so damn hot lately , just thought ! would see how a hot car body would react to a rustproofing oil creep , turns out its the deal ,the spread / creep rate is much improved , spraying down into the top of a pick up body top edge , was a full oil inner soak , to fender lip areas , and related seam spots . that typically rot out , not any more, the open box channels under the bed also got the soak , and heavier oil gear spray , was truly in the lube zone . the bottom of the cab seams , were doing the stain / drip . found any seam to show an oil film , in about a half hour . oil soak is better than rust , then what i did was wipe the related paint down with the clean oil damp rag . going to let that sit over night , then wipe it down dry tomorrow . keeping it greasy , pete

If it’s still roasting today I have a candidate to try this with.

@EB-80/8inPA  use the small extension nozzle on the can  to get in the tight spots , think the hotter metal draws , in the lubricant . its so simple its stupid , but it definitely works , go oily , pete
