I did a little test a couple of years ago. I cleaned some bare metal tags and applied FF, another rust prevention product and a home made concoction of chainsaw chain oil and paraffin wax. The tags were suspended under my car for the duration of a winter.
When memoved in the spring neither the F or the home brew showed any sign of rust.
The third product failed badly.
I think I remember that thread now; I'd forgotten. Very well done!
Ok, I'll give this stuff a try. I spray aerospace 303 on the rubber/plastic parts, including boots, so why not all of the parts that are susceptible to rust?
My lug nuts for my winter wheels are open, and the ends of the studs tend to corrode. I wasn't sure what to put on there that could withstand the centripetal forces - think this would work?
FF would work but its going to have a pretty significant reduction of friction on the threads. Many people here in the salt belt use antiseize on their lugs with no problems (though I know others swear it will make the world implode). As I myself use. That is my recommendation for lug nuts.
Sorry, this is for open nuts, not closed. The corrosion creeps along the thread, even though only the tip of the stud is exposed. Instead of a smooth removal, the lug nuts were a little hard to get off after a winter on.
Does this stuff creep?
