FP-10, Militec-1, Slip 2000 Gun Lube CLP, RemOil, and Outers Gun Oil all did not pass my corrosion test.
They all showed major corrosion after the test.
aerosol BreakFree CLP with the clear straw seems to have better protection than the aerosol BreakFree CLP w/ the red straw... which showed a few spots of rust when using a Epsom + Iodized salt water bath.
Procedure:
1). Mix 2 tablespoons of Epsom salt with 2 tablespoons of Iodized Salt in a large red dixie cup (the one you use for beer at parties).
2). Mix with plenty of hot tap water and stir thoroughly to dissolve all crystals.
3). Prep iron nails for testing by sanding it all with sandpaper (60-80 grit is recommended) and degreasing with brake cleaner or other suitable degreaser.
4). Handle the prepped nails with gloves at all times.
5). Mark/tag the nails with the product you wish to use.
6). Apply the product and wipe off the excess and repeat. You do not want a thick layer of product on the metal sample becuase you do not slobber on any type of product on your rifle.
7). Dip into the bath and wait 3 hours. Stir the bath occaisonally.
8). After 3 hours, remove samples and lay them on a paper napkin and air dry. Do not wash or otherwise touch the metals until they're relatively dry.
9). Note the results.
The nails treated with FP-10 and Slip 2000 immediately showed dark patches on the metal which eventually turned into rust. I tried 2 different samples of FP-10 with the same exact results.
From my own testing, only BF CLP and Supertech Dexron III/Mercon ATF provide the best corrosion protection.
