Woolwax?

[buck91]

Has anybody used Woolwax? I'm on a mailing list for an online Fluid Film distributor and it looks like they have been pushing this pretty hard, including some decent promotions. Currently I use fluid film for most of my automotive rust prevention and it seems to work quite well- so long as you keep up the annual-ish applications. My 2011 doesn't have any real rust to speak of anyways (though I did notice a bubble under on of the lower door latches finally!).

Any reason to switch to woolwax? Sounds like it *might* be a heavier viscocity.... but will it be compatible with the existing fluid film dirt/oil mess? Is it a better product to start using?

Natural lanolin comes from wool - is this some play on words because lanolin is the main ingredient ?

Yes

If this is wool or lanolin based I would wonder if it produces a odor when it gets hot.

What's the specific product in question? Fluid film is already largely wool wax.

E365, it is called Woolwax. Thats why I'm interested since it sounds similar to FF.

I live in the midwest rust belt, I tried Fluid Film last fall and on a 7 ear old SUV. Cleaned, wrire brushed any rust spots and coated it with Fluid Film, worked great. There were only a few spots I had to touch up this week after the long winter. Could not recommend it more. Stay away from the spray on, permanent coatings if you have a used car, they will trap the salt and moisture and rot the frame or unibody from the inside out.

Have not heard of WoolWax, I assume it is the similar product.
