What is your favorite rust prevention cleaner?

Deleted 45061 · Nov 30, 2022

What is your favorite? Here is mine:

I have found that about per sheet I get about 12 rifles cleaned. There are five sheets per bag so that is 60 cleanings. I have never had rust since using this brand, ever. Have a better oil/lube? Post it.

Liberty Lubricant HLP has been my go-to since American American Challenge Season 2 Champ Brady Lawing put me onto it.

Their solvents are also excellent for firearms.

Ballistol works for me.

When I want a high degree of rust prevention, I also like using Frog Lube. It is one of the top performers in this independent study

Ballistol across the board,....I know it's not the best or most sexy product but it has worked great in my humid conditions.

I come from the PB world and I have seen several tests/reviews that did head to head comparisons of rust preventative formulas versus salt air environments. At the time Eezox and Ballistol were the top two products.

I couldn't find the initial test I read but I did find a similar test by another individual where Eezox, Balistol and Lehigh Valley placed at the top. I'm not sure what this forum's policy is on linking threads to stuff dealing with PB content, but if you paste the keywords below into duckduckgo it will return some sites:

ballistol eezox salt water rust

One of the first queries on DuckDuck will be the sassnet forum. One of the first posts in the thread has a link to a muzzle loading forum with the rust preventative test.

I have used Eezox for years and I use it on any metal that rusts easily like vice jaws, tools, etc. Eezox and Ballistol have both worked well for me when used as a CLP (Ballistol seems to edge out Eezox in the lubricant department). The only thing I don't know is whether there is anything in Eezox that would cause any issues with rubber o-rings. From what I have read on this forum and others is that Ballistol seems to be generally approved and safe with air guns and o-rings. Take care.

Thanks for posting that link. It gives some datapoints as to my concern around the safety of Eezox on rubber & plastic with the styrene test. I was surprised to see how badly Ballistol did during the corrosion test. I want to find the other test to see if there were any differences in the variables between the two evaluations.

Thanks for posting this. I too did a test with a few of the competitors, using some steel from a construction job site, and the Frog Lube worked better than the others like Ballistol. I believe I used 4 that I had on hand but can't remember the other two (I believe generic brands). Since using the Frog Lube I haven't had any rust, whereas prior to it my rust prevention maintenance was about 5 times more.

What I like about the bio made Frog Lube, especially for airguns, is the ability for it to be used on plastics. The quick wipe down with a 60/40 Poly/Cotton shirt gets off the residue fibers from the Frog Lube sheet and makes a nice picture perfect shine on the metal. Another thing that I like about it is that it smells so nice.

PS I went ahead and linked that in the video. I am not sponsored by the product or anything but just really believe in it.

Ballistol has worked GREAT for 5 years.

Here's a good video from Project Farm, testing several firearm's CLP brands in different ways including corrosion and as a lubricant. From watching the various tests, each CLP has its specific advantages such as in wear or rust and corrosion prevention as well as lacking in other areas.

flatpick65 · Nov 30, 2022

Ballistol til now. Froglube looks interesting. My one complaint with Ballistol has always been the odor. Reminds me of "Grandpa's tacklebox" lol

Qiwk wipe down with Remoil, has never let me down. Used though out 12 years military service. Combat forward support (Luckily never saw any combat).

Frog lube for almost everything.. Tungsten disulfide for metal to metal moving parts.. I like the wintergreen smell of the frog lube !! The thing to remember about applying Frog lube Is to gently heat it till it melts ,then wait for it to cool, then wipe the excess off..

Mr.H · Nov 30, 2022

Another fan of Froglube. My least used rifle is my deer gun, so it gets the Frog lube treatment yearly, if not bi-yearly. I use it on some of my carbon steel hunting knives, too.

Here is what I found: https://www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/corrosion-protection-products/
I have used Eezox faithfully on my guns, knives, my truck, my snowblower or any other metal device subjected to the elements and rust prone.

crowski · Nov 30, 2022

Thanks, have Ballistal. I just ordered Frog lube. Crow
The company that sold it sold knives. I dropped $350 on a Benchmade Bailout Folding Kiife, as well with oil.
