That is a little high. Lowe's in this area has started carrying it. It is about $10/can.

It would take about 4-5 cans do do the initial pass. Then a can here and there to touch up over time.

We've got a Lowes here on the south side of the city... next time I get down that way... I'll pop in and see. Thanks for the estimate needed for the initial full pass.

It doesn't look like a can of that size would adequately cover that much area. And there's a lot of real estate under an XJ. lol.
Using spray cans can get pricey. This past October has been the 4th year I have Fluid Filmed. Totally sold on the stuff. My buddy bought the gun kit and already had a compressor to run it back then. Would buy my own gallon of Fluid Film and go to his house to do it. I use about a 1/2 gallon at a whack. I go to town. This year I bought my own compressor and gun kit. IMO this is the best and most economical way to deal with applying Fluid Film. I pay about $32 for a gallon before tax. One thing I always wondered. How brushing Fluid Film on would work out. Figure buy a gallon and use a paint brush. Thinking you would still need cans to get at certain areas. Plus the wand to do inside the uni-body. Might cut down on the cost though.

Well either way... if it takes that amount to hit the whole thing, I mean really in the grand scheme of things, 50 bucks and an afternoon a year to really protect the underside of the Jeep really isn't that big of a price to pay.
