I sprayed FF on my FEL and it still had stuck snow.. I will re-spray; but, so far not impressed.

We had good luck with Pam Cooking Spray.

how about doing one with diesel? its a bit late...but it would be interesting for sure.

of what you got there, i m going with FF, just because its thickest
Add a few percent compressor oil into the diesel. It has corrosion inhibitors to combat the moist environment of a compressor crankcase.

I've always used the red or green rust check cans, and had good luck. I wonder if you can still buy it?

The diesel suggestion was based in the claim by a member that diesel has no rust preventing properties.

I mentioned it to see if it did (as has been my experience)

Interesting on the compressor oil however:thumbsup:

Yes. As Mace said.

I just bought a spray can of Green to treat my sliding tonneau cover. Works great to keep it from freezing in the track. I got mine at NAPA, its available at crappy too.


There has been some discussion that Rust Check has caved to their applicators demands and forced retailers to remove the larger buckets of Red from the shelves to prevent DIYers. Ill have to try and confirm that next time im in NAPA

I make same test with 15 products
Krown T40
RustCheck Red
RustCheck Green
DuraTech
Metropolitain Bio
Metropolitain Old
Formula 3000
Fluid Film
WD40
Boeshield T-9
ACF-50
KleenFlow PWD
Liquid Wrend Lubrifiant
ReleaseAll
SprayOn 711

Rust Check, Metropolitain Bio and Formula 3000 are thicker

I put stuff on steel bar 02-09-2014, spray salt water 5-6 times, wipe bottom (+- 1 inch), spray salt water 2 more times and wash with soft water. 03-01-2014 picture show results.

First: Liquid Wrench (I dont understand. It was not my first choice)
Second (ex-aequo): T40, Metro Bio, Formula 3000, WD-40 (Yes), T-9 and ACF-50

Next step, I will use high-pressure washer and salt water again.

That's pretty cool. I would not have expected liquid wrench and wd-40 to do so well. Did you do any prep to the steel before you coated them? I notice that allot of the samples have rust around the fastener which could be the acids from your fingers when you mounted the samples.

Welcome to TBN by the way!
