2025 Lariat FX4 Just got Boss undercoat and Honey wax

[JamieS]

Local place did a great job and the truck looks better than just the paint that Ford protected the underside with. It comes with a lifetime transferrable warranty and I am to get it touched up every 2 years.

Looks good, I had Ziebart do mine . Same warranty. Did they do inside doors,rockers and tailgate?

Yes, it was with the Honey Coat and the underside was the New Hampshire Oil coating.

Nice; looks like they did a thorough job applying it.

I went nuts applying a lanolin oil (surface shield) but didn’t think to remove the taillights. I guess I have something to do now on my next day off

Now that I looked at it again I’m wondering if they sprayed anything in the doors or down from the bed rails? Pickups love to rust around the wheel wells and pinch welds on doors and such.

What did that cost you? They really did a great job.

Does it smell like an old sheep now?

I used to use Fluid Film. It rinsed off too easy and smells like the north end of a south bound mule.

Surface shield is a tackier lanolin option that doesn’t smell. I’ve switched to surface shield for these reasons, with one notable exception: surface shield aerosol cans are criminally dysfunctional while fluid film aerosol cans spray well. I keep the latter in my garage for quick sprays of equipment I have around the house. It’s also worth noting that fluid film does have a lanolin smell but the smell dissipates within a few days; it’s really no big deal to me.

I know prices will vary wildly by location, but do you mind if I ask what you paid?

Yes, they used Honeywax spray in areas I didn't think they could get to.

Glad to hear it sounds like they’ve updated their formula. I had fluidfilm put on a truck a few years back and it stank forever.
