Hi Eric,
I really like fluid film, also known as waxy oil. I treated the seam behind the drivers seat from the inside when I had it open and it worked it’s way to the outside of the body. No paint will do that. It should still be in there protecting the area. I did inside the doors, sprayed it up the A and B pillars and the whole underside. Need to do it again as it has been four years now. HTH
