I noticed today that one of the hinges on my driver side door has some rust, any suggestions on how to fix it and/ or prevent further damage?

So out to the shed...I now feel stupid.Interesting... there is a yellow sign on the can that says something like "new design, same great product!". I'll take a picture later if I remember.... maybe new to us is old for Canada. Must be how they are getting rid of old product... selling it in Texas as new
Either way, I have some now. I'm letting it sit and creep a bit before checking my door to see if the creaking hinge is fixed

That is the new package!
I've got a couple of old ones and a new one laying around out there...just confused I guess.
Or maybe its the dementia setting in?
What were we talking about?

Haha... honestly, it looks really old. It has a very retro look to the can.
I opened my door this evening a few times and the creaking sound seems to be gone, so it would seem the Fluid Film did it's job and crept in where I couldn't spray it directly. But now there is this unusual animal sweat smell coming from my door.... lol

If you use it on a cloth as I do...and you are working it into the black etc. by the time you are finished your hands are as soft as a baby's.
They smell like wet sheep but they are soft.
Reminds me of the time I helped a buddy out...a family of otters had taken up residence in his boat over the winter and their was otter barf, otter pee and otter poop everywhere.
Plus otter stuff I couldn't begin to tell you what it was.
After scooping that gunk out and hosing the entire area, boat and us off, again, hands the softest they have ever been.
So...if you want soft hands...

What I did was try it on my trim mower and the tube on my leaf blower...both older equipment with wear and dings and some fade.
This was after I read about using it on plastic...I didn't invent that, eh?
So that turned out well so we moved onto the black bumper cladding on my son's old Mazda which was in awful shape and it spiffed that up real nice.
In both cases, the lawn equipment and the bumper, we needed to apply second coats to even things up and get it looking good but there it stayed...looking good weeks later.
Only then did I move onto my Patriot.
Again, it took a couple of applications to get all the black coming up even, without blotchy appearance and etc but now all I do is keep a FF soaked cloth in a zip lock with my wash bucket supplies and after about every third or so washes I just wipe the black down. The odd spray onto the cloth to keep it moistened.
As they always say, test in an inconspicuous spot first. You can remove it with hot water and a good grease cutting detergent but why not make certain its a look you want first, eh?
Its a deep, rich, luxurious looking lustre, not a shine. Makes the five dollar plastic look like ten dollar plastic. Without having to resort to beer goggles.
I really like it.

Sounds about what I am looking for. I'd prefer for it to come out looking a bit darker, or at least with a bit of pop. I don't really care about shine... I even have 6 cans of plasti-dip ready to just make it completely matte and dark. I'll test the FF first to see if it does what I want, and maybe I'll do half of the bumper in FF and have in PD to see which is more like what I am wanting
