1. Does anyone have a strong opinion as to whether Fluid Film or Eastwood coating is the superior product for this application?

2. Is there any reason I could not use an aerosol can of Fluid Film or Eastwood coating with a wand -- applying the product from outside the cab via the cab marker light holes in the roof?

TIA
I would use both, the east wood stuff really creeps. I was impressed to see how well it would travel to areas that fluid film didn't. If you can get to the area, FF, if not eastwood.

One thing to note, eastwood stuff does not come off easy. FF can be washed away.

I did my last FF treatment on a hot summer day so it would creep well.
I am not worried about it being washed away from the inner roof panel, as it is still tight and dry.
I was doing it to help my west coast rust free cab stay that way.
I did the inners of the doors with the door panels off and A and B -pillars through the trim screw holes as well.
That treatment and parking it before the salt trucks are out for the winter should give it a long life.
