I am a bit of a firearm enthusiast (maybe a lot LOL) and I have this horrible rusty finger problem. Anything I touch I leave rusty finger prints on, even stainless in about 2-3 days. I have tried many many types of rust protection oils/greases etc naming a few off the top of my head Break Free, Molly Fusion, Corrosion X, Rem Oil, Mobile 1 (car oil) Birchwood Casey, the list goes on and on !!
Out of all of these above for rust protection Corrosion X and BreakFree worked the best, still you have to leave a thick film on, in hot weather it runs off, or you end up with a wet gun. Eezox was tried on a whim when researching rust protection, I emailed the warren outdoors, and after talking I thought I would try it as I had wasted way over $100 in searching for rust protection. It took me about 3 months, and I knew I found the grail of rust protection, and something that actually works (for me) !! Just some info, Eezox is a CLP ( I don't genraly like CLP "cleaner lubricant protection" type products, seems they do everything decent and nothing well). If you follow the directions and apply 3 coats of this product you will not have to worry about rust, I do wipe the firearm down when coming in from rain, or hot weather, and apply once a year after the first 3 treatments. It leave a dry protective film, you can't see it, and it will also give blued steel a deep rich look like the old Winchester blued steel, also use it on stainless.
Some other good things about Eezox are, cleaner, it does a good job of removing powder fouling, however for copper you will still need to use a good copper solvent (another post maybe) it will prevent/help prevent copper, lead, and powder fouling... now that sounds like snake oil I know, but it leaves a dry film in your bore so you are not laying down copper and lead down a dry bore, much better than a light film of oil, and you don't have to worry about running a patch down the bore before hunting and then worry about rust all hunting season. Eezox really shines on rimfires, and I use it for a CLP on them. It strong enough to remove the wax and powder fouling, and leaves the dry lube to prevent lead fouling. I also use it on all parts I touch that are not painted on a small lathe I have, drill chucks etc.
When you apply the first coat of Eezox treat it like a cleaner, then wipe off dry, then use a very light coat, just enough to wet the metal, let that dry for 3 days, inside the house open a door or window and let the sun shine on the metal/firearm it to help speed things up (if you have kids you should know better) then wipe down with a dry rag, and re-apply as before, let sit a week, then apply again. The third time will give you a really nice look, I'm sure 1 application works fine, but I just found what works bets for me. You can google Eezox rust protection I think 6mmbr.com done some test. Also edit to add, it's best to break the firearm down into parts, rifle= remove stock, and bolt, magazine etc.
