Brand new to Ford - 2024 new Ranger Lariat - Undercoat ?

[Jason B]

Just be careful when spraying undercoating. 5G had a few EVAP and Fuel tank pressure sensor failures due to under coatings fouling the tank vent.

I would recommend Wool Wax over Fluid Film. They are very similar, but Wool Wax goes on thicker and heavier and will last longer without washing off. Blaster Surface Shield is another good option.

So I know it's counter to what we do the undercarriage films for, but what's the best way to take off fluid film in particular spots? Just car wash soap and a rag/cloth? I don't want to remove it everywhere, just off those beautiful orange shocks. I normally crawl under it after washing, take a look at everything going on and while I'm there I'll wipe them down just because it makes me happy. It's affecting my OCD that they're covered in the fluid film and the dirt that sticks to it right now.

I'd start by just trying to wipe it off with paper towels or rags. If there's anything left after that a mild cleaner should suffice. Be careful with alcohol or solvents on the seals of the shocks, which is why I'd just start with towels and rags.
