spray this all over underneath where there is metal, axle, frame, bolts, springs, struts and you'll be fine. dont get it on the brake discs or pad. you'll need a 12 spray cans.

I just undercoated my truck with 6 cans of Fluid Film for preventive maintenance. Based on videos I saw on YouTube, I should be good for about 1 year. Thanks for the recommendation.

Do the folks who own an LX complain about the same "rust" issues?

just saw this on the 1st gen GX forum

GX owners should push lexus to fix this.

The fluid film is still keeping my GX rust free. Have to put on another coat before the snow comes though

it will coat and prevent further rust.
It melts off on hot sunny days.
I would wait until late fall or before first snow to apply. Best to apply in 40-50 deg weather
so it forms a thicker layer and wont drip off. Keeps cans indoors and bring them out one at a time and use immediately.
it took me about 8-10 spray cans first time to put thick layer on.
Each year thereafter 6 spray cans.

My 2011 GX spent half of its life in Canada, the other day I was crawling under swapping running board bulbs for LEDs and noticed rust is chewing on heads of the bolts, inner side of break calipers look like someone sprayed them with acid bath. some clamps on hoses in the engine bay look bit rusty, the frame and everything else looks ok...
Wondering if I should replace the bolts and clamps, if so how do I locate those ? Clean it up with wire brush and sand paper then coat it with something ? Or treat them with something like this stuff
. Seems to work pretty good, my only concern with this is chewing into paint
