As anyone ever used dry film lubricants like SLP Slip Plate on their Jeep? I just saw saw a segment on TV about that product and my first thought was to spray it in my wheel wells and on my fenders/ bumpers before winter driving and or playing in the mud. It can be painted on or spray bombed. I've never heard of this type of thing before. Has anyone else?

 

No one huh?

 

Sooooo....

 

I've heard of doing that. My buddy sprays WD-40 in his wheel wells and that seems to work. I thought the dry film lubricants would be a "more permanent" option. It looks like a thin layer of pencil graphite when applied and seems to stick fairly well.

 

Look for a Vapor Phase Corrosion Inhibitor, frequently called VCI, in a spray on form. I have some experience with them in high heat, high humidity industrial environments and they are effective. You could even even place canisters of VPCI inside the body of the vehicle and they will cover everything with a corrosion inhibiting film. We use the canisters and spray on electrical equipment. In a blind taste test you'd guess the spray was WD-40.

 

The dry film lube works great on zippers too. I use "Rust Cop " for corrosion protection in the salty Northeast. DIY or have it done. Major users up here are school bus fleets and UPS.
