Central Ohio's Authorized Fluid Film Undercoating Installer
Shield Your Vehicle from Rust and Corrosion
At Hilliard Detailing Garage, we excel in providing top-tier rust prevention services tailored to meet the needs of Columbus, Ohio residents and those in surrounding areas. Our meticulous approach ensures every inch of your vehicle’s underbody is thoroughly protected, using premium Fluid Film and Fluid Film Black undercoatings for long-lasting defense against rust and corrosion.
Our Fluid Film Undercoating Package Includes:
Undercarriage Rinse: We begin by thoroughly pressure washing the undercarriage to remove dirt, mud, road grime, and loose contaminants, creating a clean surface for the undercoating application.
Complete Drying: After rinsing, we use high-powered air to blow the entire undercarriage completely dry, ensuring no moisture is trapped before the Fluid Film is applied.
Vehicle Lift Inspection: Your vehicle is raised on our four-post lift, allowing us full access to the undercarriage for a thorough inspection and complete application.
Fluid Film Undercoating: We apply Fluid Film to all metal surfaces susceptible to rust and corrosion, including the frame, suspension components, crossmembers, rocker panels, and other vulnerable areas.
Internal Cavity Protection: Using specialized application equipment, we treat the inside of the frame rails, rocker panels, and other enclosed cavities through existing factory access points, providing protection where rust often begins.
Heat-Sensitive Component Protection: To ensure proper vehicle operation, we do not apply Fluid Film to components that reach high temperatures, including the engine, transmission, exhaust system, catalytic converters, or brakes.

Why Fluid Film?
Fluid Film is a powerful rust inhibitor that is derived from lanolin, also known as wool wax, which provides the best proven protection against rust & corrosion year-round. Fluid Film has been used to prevent corrosion and to lubricate moving parts since the 1940's. It was originally designed to protect U.S. Navy ships from rust and corrosion during World War II. Today, Fluid Film is used by the United States Department of Defense, NASA, Delta Airlines, John Deere, Caterpillar, and many others for a variety of rust-preventative applications.
Our Fluid Film undercoatings are long-lasting, effective, and safe for your vehicle. Traditional rubber or asphalt-based undercoatings that harden are known to crack over time and trap moisture underneath, causing rust to form at an accelerated rate. Fluid Film, however, remains a grease-like consistency and penetrates metal surfaces & existing rust to actively repel moisture, salt, and other harmful elements.
