I have heard of using tire foam for your undercarriage... also, Lonnie uses WD 40 for his engine bay...

1. Soak the engine down w/ a degreaser, I use this one that smells like oranges because I like the smell.

2.Then let the engine run for 10 minutes, turn it off. wash it off, repeat if it's needed.

3. Spray it down completely with WD 40 and wipe of some of the excess.

I think PB is a better product personnally... AMAZING on rusted exhaust fasteners, I will not do exhaust work w/out a can of PB.
 
wd works real good in getting fn tar off ur truck too!
 
I got bored yesterday so i did parts of my engine bay and my rear axle. Both look brand new :rck:

Oh and did part of the frame rail and then got distracted trying to fix my cutout lol
 
On the dirt bikes, I use Pam cooking spray before I go off riding. All my friends use it too. Mud don't stick. I also use it in my fender wells on my PW.
 
Oil spray is very popular in Canada! I do mine once a year. I spray Fluid Film everywhere else.In my opinion it is a far superior product. The only thing I use WD 40 for anymore is to remove residue from stickers on painted surfaces.
Again guys just my opinion.
FLUID FILM!!!!:rck::rck::rck::rck: best stuff ever.

i put that on my dads chevy bumper on some chrome to show him it would work..
i put it on in beginning of december and was still there this weekend.. stuck through all the snow and the salt..

hes in the same area as you.. hes near blenheim.
 
WD-40. Who knew?

I had a neighbor who had bought a new pickup. I got up very early one Sunday morning and saw that someone had spray painted red all around the sides of this beige truck (for some unknown reason). I went over, woke him up, and told him the bad news. He was very upset and was trying to figure out what to do probably nothing until Monday morning, since nothing was open.

Another neighbor came out and told him to get his WD-40 and clean it off. It removed the unwanted paint beautifully and did not harm his paint job that was on the truck. I'm impressed! WD-40 who knew? 'Water Displacement #40' The product began from a search for a rust preventative solvent and degreaser to protect missile parts. WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a 'water displacement' compound. They were successful with the fortieth formulation, thus WD-40. The Convair Company bought it in bulk to protect their atlas missile parts.

Ken East (one of the original founders) says there is nothing in WD-40 that would hurt you. When you read the 'shower door' part, try it. It's the first thing that has ever cleaned that spotty shower door. If yours is plastic, it works just as well as glass. It's a miracle! Then try it on your stove top .... Voila! It's now shinier than it's ever been. You'll be amazed.

P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL.
 
You can also try Alderox On-Highway & Construction release agent. I used it on the wheel wells of my truck and on the undercarriage and almost no mud stuck. What did was really easy to get off.

My buddy uses it on his dirt track race car. They used to use diesel fuel to prevent build up of dirt on the undercarriage but most track don't like that. Since the more dirt that builds up during the race the slower the car goes they like to have some sort of non stick stuff there. The Alderox is supposed to be biodegradable so the track likes it and it works really well.

I think the only place you can get it is online but my buddy has a couple of cases.
