Re: Rust prevention

 

I've tried WD-40 in the past, and at least to my observation, it's actually a contributor to rust.

It's great for displacing water and very short-term protection.? Problem is, at least in my experience, is it will clean off any heavier oils that may offer protection, and then eventually evaporates away leaving the item prone to rusting.

I know others swear by it, but for me, it makes things worse.

How about WD-40 - Its a water displacement formula

  • Drives out moisture and quickly dries out electrical systems to eliminate moisture-induced short circuits
  • Acts as a corrosion inhibitor to shield against moisture and other corrosive elements to prevent rust
  • Frees sticky mechanisms, loosens rust-to-metal bonds and helps release stuck, frozen or rusted metal parts
  • Removes grease, grime, gunk, gum, tar, sap, super glue, sticker residue, and other sticky stuff from multiple surfaces
  • Lubricates moving parts such as hinges, wheels, pulleys, rollers, chains, and gears
