Rust prevention update

Approx. Two years ago I described how I hoped to stop the rust that had eaten away the bottoms of the doors of my previous vehicle. I had waited until the '06 Super Duty was about four years old and the rust was creeping under the paint where the outer skin laps over the inner at the bottom of the door. I took a screwdriver and dragged it along the edge of the lap, pulling off the loose paint. I then sprayed WD-40 and gave it a day to penetrate. Then I sprayed aerosol chain lube which goes on thin and penetrates, and then sets up. Yesterday after changing the oil I inspected it, and could find no advancing of rust, and renewed the protection.
 
Arcote lubricant works good also, its a oil, but sets up like a
film, I bought a whole case of it a year or so ago, but am on
my last can, and I think they quit making it, can't seem to find
it. I like it because it keeps things from rusting, but also nothing
will stick to it either. And it lasts up to 6 monts.
 
Fluid Film is available.Hard to find here.Most dealers have 5 gallon pails because they spray cars and trucks.You can get spray cans by the case, free shipping.8 bucks a can.Cost 15 bucks at a shop I avoid because of high prices.Place I get most parts at just started selling it for 9 bucks a can.
