Minimizing rust and corrosion? Whats best?

I use SP-400, it is an oil with some wax in it so it sticks well. I buy a dozen cans of it from MSC industrial supply every 5 years or so. They also make SP-350 but it is just like wd40, not worth it.

I was pretty impressed with the Fluid Film, I just have the free promotional can, but it sure seemed to lube things up well, penetrates well and leaves a kinda greasy film. I think I like it.

Fluid film is the best product out there. We are at war with corrosion on a daily basis, being in the fertilizing business. Fluid film is our primary weapon in the battle! Its worth the expense!

Can't speak for fluid film as I'll have to try it out, but my vote is for LPS-3.....it's very close to using cosmoline and it's great for a greasy protection layer......

Jeez...must have missed this thread earlier. Another vote for Fluid Film.

Did some plowing last fall and shined up the moldboards, shares, and shins. Then put on Fluid Film. The plow sat in the sun and rain over winter without a speck of rust. Still out there just as clean as last fall.

Will be doing the same after plowing this fall.

Spray cooking oil. Like wal-m*** cooking spray etc. on sickle bar and bailer. Don't want petroleum products on the feed stocks.

I have been using LPS-3 for many years and it lasts about one year out in the open.

BUT, I can't find it for sale locally anymore. Anyone know a retail chain where it can be purchased?

Go on line and look for Corrosion X. Not cheap, but nothing rusts for a long time.
