    I was doing a video on how salt eats the boat trailer in the Midwest, I fish all winter in the boat and man I didn’t realize it was this bad. Walleyes or not my poor boat trailer-it looked brand new 4 years ago.

    Same deal with my Ice Castle fish house. I hate salt.

    I’ve gotten to enjoy the salt. Going south and fishing the ocean has done wonders cool

    Dead of winter my boat is in the garage but early spring there is still plenty of salt on the roads so I woolwaxed my whole trailer.It seems to do the trick.Have to be carefull if you ever walk on the trailer to load or unload as its pretty slippery,and carefull not to rub up against the trailer or you get the stuff allover your clothes.Beats having a rusty p.o.s. for a trailer.

    Fluid film. Use it on all our vehicles underbodies and trailers. The stuff is magic

    I use fluid film also. Stinks like crap but seems to work good.

    You can buy longer straws online to get way into tight spaces. Works great inside door panels, vehicle fenders, frames etc.

    Tell me more please. Where do you get it. How do you apply it.

    I buy it online, it’s spendy but it’s well worth it. Our last 4 vehicles had no rust on them at 80,000 miles. I spray wheel wells, liners, door jams frames, brake lines and every crevis salt likes to sit. I apply it with a paint sprayer I have at home. But they have cans as well. It is a miracle spray. I will post the link for it when I get back home

    Automotive

    They make different products for different applications. The auto one is a wonderful thing.
    I re spray every other year. Also helps the neighbors have a truck lift so I can stand under my truck and do it.
    We just bought the used Tahoe and it was the first thing I did when we got home

    What if you already have some rust spotting?

    It stops rust. So spray it to start protecting. I’m a cheap ass but this stuff is worth the money

    Wasn’t sure if it would seal it in (in a bad way) or if it would still help.

    I love Fluid Film as well. Nothing else like it.

    It makes WD-40 look like water.

    As for boat trailers, if you’re a winter fisherman, galvanized is the way to go toast

    Can get fluid film off the shelf at Lowes,or online.As said fluid film stinks,and its thinner than woolwax.But its very good to penetrate into seams and tight places.Woolwax you can get on amazon,online.Woolwax sticks better/will stay inplace thru the carwash much better and provides a thicker coat of product,plus it smells way better.Both have their uses.Used truck I bought from down south had a few small surface rust spots I have kept treated since I got it.Truck has seen 2 mn winters now and the rust spots have not grown or gotten worse.

    Don’t use the rattle can use the stuff you mix and spray with a sprayer

    I don’t give much good advice but fluid film is the business
