Whats that cost these days? The diy washes over this way are all $4-5 now. Warning: rant ahead. And I hate how most of them have gone to tokens now, no quarters...with quarters you can get some extra to buy an extra minute or 2 if you need it, but if you don't need extra time then you just have a few extra quarters, that can be used anywhere at any time...but with tokens if you buy extra then you are stuck with keeping track of them until the next time you go through that carwash (and keeping them all straight if you go to different carwashes sometimes!) I know the guy that manages one of the local carwashes and he was bellyaching about having to buy more tokens all the time..."why do people take them, they aren't good for anything else?!" I explained my scenario and it seemed like he had never thought about that before (duh!) and I asked why they went away from quarters in the first place...he said too many people use the carwash as a change machine...I said "SO?" he says it was a pain having to go get heavy bags of quarters from the bank all the time...I asked did they charge a fee above and beyond the value of the quarters? "No"...I'm like well then what's the problem, a little more work to go a block to the bank for more "free" quarters, or keep having to buy more tokens?! I know which one I'd choose if I was in his shoes! Rant off...
26 a month unlimited use. I asked if I could go 10 times a day everyday before signing up. The answer was yes. It's something like 12 bucks just for a single wash.
I go to a place near the Walmart in Brimfield. Scan your credit card and keeps charging till you hit stop. 10 minutes cost me less than six dollars. Self serve, there's two automatic bays there also not sure what they cost.
It is. Runs out very well with 20 inch bar. I just had to throw a load in the truck for photo ops . There is a bunch more of the locust at this spot. Best part is that I can see it from my backyard!!
Ford had them as well. I like corrosion x hd but it went up so much in price I'm not sure I'd buy it again when I run out. Ebay/chinazon has undercoating guns with buckets of undercoating for sale. With a truck it really isn't hard to do. I used a tyvek suit with a hood and crawled around spraying. The only crappy part is on older trucks it is going to be a given you'll be back under there in a year fixing something and getting that crap all over you . You get the right kit and they include a wand to pop open the drain plugs and fogg the crap out of those areas.
You made me go look on ebay. They do have nice kits for fluid film that I will probably buy and do in the springtime.
I just looked back at my emails and I bought the last 2 gallons from Aircraftspruce.com. It has went up but worth every penny in protection.
it is some good stuff. Thick stuff too. Since I wait until it's in the 40's -50's it doesn't like to spray too well when the fluid gets cold. When it's warm it sprays pretty well. I bring my jug inside and let it get to room temp. I have 3 bottles that I always leave in the house. I only take the bottle I'm using outside because by the time I'm getting low it's getting thick, come in swap out a new warm one. Having an air compressor that can keep up for the most part helps a lot as well. I bought a 5 gallon jug for a lil over 400, grainger believe it or not was the best deal I could find. Now I think they want over 6 for that same 5 gallon pail. Thats why I think I might just use fluid film next time, I don't need to spray every year with the corrosion x , I can see myself doing it with the fluid film, at least on the frame.
The guy I go to for oil spray keeps his spray pot setting in a crockpot full of hot water in between vehicles...
