Good luck and enjoy.
do you have any close up pics of how much white you can see under bed at the bottom of the wheel well liner?

Husky ones cover a lot more for a cleaner look-they go down further and hide the frame rail.

Can’t say I noticed a color.’it doesn’t really “dry” , it works like an oil where it never dries and repeals water.

Fluid film is pretty highly rated and you can find a bunch of reviews on the stuff.
I can’t imagine it’s ‘much’ different than any similar product from reputable brand. Wd40 makes a rust resistant coating as well, I imagine they last all about the same.
I’ll do the underside of my frame and leaf springs, etc. once a year before wintertime.
Fluid film says it lasts 6 months or so. I believe with my own eyes it is atleast that in my opinion.

These are obviously different than a true, paint like under coating... which is what I think the 3m product is?
I prefer something like fluid film, but that’s just me.

Do the aftermarket liners provide any corrosion protection advantage over the spray rubberized undercoatings?

Truck is black so I am thinking just go with the undercoating.

Dealt with corrosion on the front edge of the aluminum hood on my Explorer.

I bought the Husky ones and started to install them. None of the screw holes lines up and the edge was a mess. Didn't want to tuck in right. Took them right back off and ordered the OEM ones. I didn't even bother with the passenger side.

Seems that the Husky liners are very hit-or-miss as far as fitment and installation goes. From forum threads, I'd estimate about a 50/50 chance that they will either be a perfect fit or a total mess.

The Ford liners, on the other hand, I think are near 100% reports of perfect fit. My Ford liners were a breeze to install, even with the wheels on. $102 from my dealer, via the Ford Accessories website.
