I used fluid film on brake lines, tranny lines, any metal shields spare tire and rim including cable that holds up tire. Spray some into the lock that removes for your crank. I also spray my actual wheels also where tire meets rim to fight corrosion . the wheels will get really dirty looking during winter but easily removed in the spring. Fluid film has a cattlelist so it spreads. Also do Inside of bumpers because they are steal and trailer hitch would be good. Have fun!

I am also from Ontario, Canada. I have also heard that Krown rustproofing is the product to use. From the Dealer in Windsor, they apparently have researched the their product with aluminum bodies and have indicated their product works just fine where aluminum meets steel. About $139.00 for the whole application process.

Can't speak to the warranty, but I use Corrosion Free and DIY. Spray cans can be bought at CT or TSC. TSC usually puts them on sale at 50% off. They also sell it in bulk if you have access to a lift and have an applicator. I much prefer it to Krown, but have used both. For 15.00 for 3 cans when on sale, money well spent.

I got the Rust Protection, Underbody and Sound Deadener. I am very pleased with it since the entire underbody is coated therefore didn't need the wheel well covers. I also have less road noise than my 13 KR without the products. When I saw the 13 KR up on the lift at the dealer the day I traded it there was rust all over parts. I am glad to prevent that with this 15 Lariat. They let me look at the truck on the lift after they finished applying and everything is coated on top, sides and bottom.

If I trade this truck in a few years I will do it again, the price for all 3 was worth it at $299. I can have it touched up each year and I don't have to spend the time to do it.

Rustcheck is another good one Green and Red you can do the whole undercarriage for like $30.

It's clear. I get them when they go on sale for $6 and change.

Went to Krown right after I bought the new 2016. Mainly for them to drill all the holes and to see the whole process. I will have my Father in law's brother do it ther after as he has the pressure vessel and the gun etc. $129.99 for the entire vehicle. Just might go every year as well. They do guarantee the work plus I will get a email letter and phone call Every year. Plus the warranty is transferable. All pluses in my book

Very good investment. I live in the Caribbean and salt-air is a big problem here. The dealer where I got my truck includes Ziebart rust protection free on every vehicle sold. My truck arrived at the dealer and they had it done the same day!

I think that's similar to most clear penetration products right.

If they haven't changed their formula since 1967 I wouldn't use it. It was black like roofing tar back then.

Corrosion Free 3000 was the top pick from 1999 Canadian army test. Here is a link to the 2006 test which did not include that product.

Some people even make a DIY formula comprised of paraffin, mineral spirits, and bar chain oil.

I just do what is easiest. Either paint or an oily film will prevent oxygen reaching the surface. Consider that rust is like a slow burning fire and if you can prevent oxygen you will win.

Aluminum is not immune to corrosive action. There are several types of corrosion some of which that are exacerbated by the presence of salt water. Galvanic corrosion comes from dissimilar metals in contact with the same electrolyte. Crevice corrosion comes in a small gap between parts where salt water has become trapped.

How well did Ford keep dissimilar metals from touching? How many small gaps are there for corrosion to begin? This is an experiment in progress and it may take several years to see the results. Aluminum has been used extensively in the airplane industry, and there may be lessons to learn from aircraft construction/corrosion prevention.

Thanks this is great info. There is a product listed as corr 3000 in the file. Wondering if this would be corrosion free 3000. This is the product I would like to try. Can Tire and TSC apears to sell this under the product name "Rust Cure 3000". Assume this is the one?
