Depending on your environment applying stuff like that every year or two can help some. It isn't a magic pill but products like that can help against rust where they are applied (you won't get everywhere). I sprayed down my truck with PB Blaster Surface Shield (similar product). Stuff under there is a lil greasy feeling if you're working on it later and if you get some on heat shields/exhaust that will burn off initially.

I think it’s great. I live in the rust belt. I apply it heavily before every winter. I do it myself. Both of my cars have very little rust underneath. I’ve been doing it for years. I can try to answer questions.

I own three vehicles, and all three are undercoated with FF. It needs reapplied/touch-up every year, but does a good job. The only thing I don't like about it is, it seems to attract everything and whatever is attracted to it sticks. Has anyone else had this problem?

That was going to be my comment about it. I put it on a couple years ago and it grabbed all the dust pretty quick then seemed to wash off not long after.

The fluid film or dust washes off?
I’ve never really looked that closely at what sticks to it when I’m done.
With a new vehicle I load it on and then the following years I can typically put on less because it’s still covered. I coat a buddies truck yearly and he takes he to a car wash with an under body spray almost weekly during the winter. He washes most of the ff off, and his truck has a lot more rust than mine. He asked me again to put extra under it again this year.

The fluid film washed off. I do go to an underbody car wash and that doesn’t help

Underbody car washes are definitely bad for FF coatings.
I don’t rinse the underbody until the spring and I use a garden hose. The only places that rub off on mine is bottom frame and anything low hanging. Usually from driving through fields in tall grass.

Roger that,I drive on the beach all the time and anticipate sand sticking but it seems better than having the truck rust out completely,least it will seal the salt out
