Gunzilla Rust Prevention
Gunzilla Rust Prevention
Been using EEZOX for years and have been happy with it. Read a lot about Gunzilla and decided to try it. Ordered some - prior to using, I decided to test it for rust prevention. Took 3 new 16 penny nails. Submerged one in Eezox, one in Gunzilla and did nothing to the third. Took nails out of the Eezox and Gunzilla and layed on work bench to dry till the next day. Next day, I drove the nails into a piece of 2 X 4 about 1" deep. I put the 2X 4 outside on 2 June 2011. On 4 June 2011, I sprayed down with a salt water solution. On 5 June, the untreated nail had a lot of rust on it and the Gunzilla nail was starting to rust. By the 21st of June, the untreated nail and the Gunzilla nail were both very badly rusted - could not tell the difference between them. The Eezox nail had no rust. Today is 4 July 2011 and the Eezox nail still has no sign of rust - not even on the head of the nail which I used the hammer on to drive it into the 2 X 4. It has rained several times per week for nearly the whole time that the nails have been outside.
Gunzilla sounded good, but guess I will stay with the Eezox.

Strike-Hold. Water displacing, but leaves dry protective film that won't gum up the works like WD-40.

Doesn't really do any good to rely on a poll for a popularity contest. First of all, there's not nearly all the options available. Second, some of the options seem to drive on the cost rather than the actual preceived quality of lube. Third, what's popular today or whomever votes for whatever, will undoubtedly be different tomorrow.
Whether spending five minutes searching through some posts to get an idea or five minutes trying to search your specific thread to see what the flavor of the day was isn't really going to resolve anything.
And, I can't vote. You don't have my option(s)...
