Let me shed some light, from what I have seen nearly all fluid film is a light green, it is an aerosol and most people use the 360degree wand, prep can vary depending on the surface, and some people spray just the inside of the frame, so people spray everything. POR15 is for treating rust that exist, FF is strictly for situations rust is not present and to use a preventative. I'm sure @Chris will chime in here.I researched the FF and found several products they offer for a variety of applications. I'm assuming you all use the aerosol? What color is it? What kind of prep do you do? What parts do spray? What's the difference bw this and something like POR?
....FF is strictly for situations rust is not present and to use a preventative.
I did not know this! After further research it appears clearly listed in the FAQ of FF: http://www.fluid-film.com/frequently-asked-questions/Ive applied it to lightly rusted surfaces and areas and it's literally stopped it from spreading or worsening.

Quick hijack: Bicycles at the ocean rust out within a few months. Would FF be a solution for this? Could I just spray it over the chain, gears, and other non painted surfaces?

You don't need to have rust present to use POR-15, it is also a great option as a paint for areas that are not exposed to UV light. For example; I painted the entire underside of my frame and top portion of skid plate in that area that is vulnerable to rust, and my ZJ Tie Rod.POR15 is for treating rust that exist, FF is strictly for situations rust is not present and to use a preventative.
But my guess is it's the foaming that's caused by the propellant, thus creating the tint? It eventually 'blends' or disappears onto the surface it's applied to. Correct me if I'm mistaken, fellow FF users.
Note: I use the Canadian version (because I live in Canada). Sometimes formulations for items are different between Cdn/US products. I mention this because someone posted theirs is a green tint.I'm assuming you all use the aerosol? What color is it? What kind of prep do you do? What parts do spray?

I'd spray it on bikes. I haven't had a problem with spraying on painted surfaces either. I spray my Jeep door hinges.Quick hijack: Bicycles at the ocean rust out within a few months. Would FF be a solution for this? Could I just spray it over the chain, gears, and other non painted surfaces?
Frame hole plugs? Sounds like a good mod. ThanksI started using it as recommended here also.
Once I got the inside of my frame as clean as possible, I think I used two cans on each side and installed the frame hole plugs.
Two cans seems excessive, but I shouldn't have to do it again for a long time. I also did the entire underneath of my jeep and now I'm starting on my rust prone Toyota tundra frame. I'm kind of tired of buying aerosol cans at lowes for $10 a pop, so I think I may invest in a gallon and a spray gun.
