La Corrosion Technologies 94004 Corrosionx 1 Gallon

Great Price - Came packaged better than expected to survive the trip! This is pretty good stuff - we use it on our farm vehicles and some of our antique cars.

Fantastic stuff, best penetrant ever used and I’ve used them all.

It’s exactly what I ordered

I live in Hawaii and am a tool nut, so I've been battling rust and corrosion my entire life - and I don't even live near the beach but in the center of the island. Oahu is like Okinawa, where the entire island is subject to salt spray, it seems. To combat rust I've tried it all: Cosmoline coating my tools, storing them in FoodSaver vacuum-sealed bags, wiping them with a silicone cloth and wrapping them in several layers of shrink wrap. What I need to do on my expensive electronic equipment (like my $4000 Focal Utopia headphones), is place them in a sealed 5-gallon container with dessicant packs and a humidity indicator to tell me when to change out the packets. So we come to the story of CorrosionX. Does it work? I have not used it long enough so the jury's out. Here are it's pros and cons: Pros: 1. A little goes a long way. I spray about a milliliter on a shop rag and rub it over bare metal surfaces. The solution eventually impregnates the rag so I can reuse it to coat tools. 2. It is thick and viscous, for those applications where it is beneficial. Cons: 1. Very expensive! The main reason I sucked it up and paid $110 for a gallon is because I refused to pay the prices for a small spray bottle; it just wasn't as good a deal. 2. Difficult to apply in a spray form as most spray bottles will not aerosolize it. 3. Leaves the tools or surfaces 'wet' and greasy, unlike Cosmoline. So if you handle the tools a lot, it will eventually wipe most of it off. 4. Did I mention it is expensive??? What is my main use of the product now? I would say screwdriver tips and pliers. They rust out like crazy here. I have to remove the rust with Scotchbrite and coat them with CorrosionX. I have an expensive mountain bike. Nothing will rust on that, right? As it's designed to operate in rain and mud. Nope, the chain rusts easily. So I had to rub the rust off and use CorrosionX to coat the chain. This product would make a good bicycle chain lube due to the viscosity, but I am only using it because I have a gallon of the stuff. I would not recommend it for the general bike riding population because it's too expensive in smaller quantities like the aerosol or spray. I am also using CorrosionX on my 9 mm CZ Shadow 2 handgun, to coat the inside of the barrel and all polished surfaces in the chamber. CorrosionX is also advertised to be a superior lubricant, but the jury is also out on that, until I see how well it works to prevent cassette wear on my mountain bike. Just be aware this stuff is expensive. Oh! Did I already mention that???

I live on the Winward side of a Caribbean island. The ex-pats on this island will primarily use corrosion X. I’ve used other things, but nothing works like corrosion X for keeping things “Rust free”.. it’s also non-toxic and non-flammable.
