Default Thoughts on this product

Has anyone ever used this as a rust prevantitive? I remember seeing a show on the ABC a few years ago, they interviewed people who used the stuff commercially who raved about it both as a rust prevantive and lubricant for heavey machinery

I'm more concerned about the rust prevention side of things in hard to get to places so I only have to do rust work once

I've always stuck to fisholene 1st to run into the crevices the follow up with Tectyl . Tectyl is a proven product and lasts many years .
I have seen that stuff you mentioned and curious myself on how good it is .

Sort of like still deciding iif POR15 is necessary or if a rust converter followed by fish oil and tectyl is just as good .

Lanolin products are performing remarkably well.
A company which operates ferries from Port of Bris to Moreton Island have saved huge expenses in fuel using lanolin products as an anti fouling on their ferries ( fast Cats).

Lanolin is an excellent, anti-fouling, penetrene, anti-friction, anti rust product.

You've got the right idea with the Fishoilene then Tectyl 506. I can vouch such a system does work well even in temperature extremes and high speed airflows after using it for many many years on aircraft internal and external surfaces, also my cars.

POR15 is different, its a system that neutralises the corrosion, then seals it all off with a hard coating that prevents moisture and air getting to the affected metal surface. You use it if you want to do a more permanent fix, but you need to be able to get to the corroded surfaces so you can clean off the surfaces before applying the corrosion preventative paint.

I have heard of the Lanolin based corrosion preventative compounds and people have raved about it, but have never used it myself. Read Burnedouts post above ^^^^which says its good.

i have used a few different lanolin products myself. seem to do their job very well.

a few years back when i was in the auto rust proofing business i did some experiments by grinding the surface coating off new mild steel plates and painting them with different rust prevention products. i had several different professional type products , ie: wurths, wax gard, endrust, shield 21, nil rust, protection australia and some others that i forget their names now. i also did a sample using just lanolin liquid and left them hanging on the back fence at maroochydore for 6 months.

i was surprised to find that out of all the products, the 3 that seemed to work best were wurths yellow wax (used by mercedes etc), waxgard ( now owned by the same lot that own ming) and the lanolin.
some of the name products performed rather sadly.

the lanolin is very good for getting into body joints and tight spots. it can be a bit messy when it runs out the bleed holes but that is a worthy compromise for knowing that its getting into those difficult spots.

we use a lot of lanolin grease at work now building power lines, both as corosion protection and as an electrical connection aid.

Default Use an electronic rust stop

Hey there, i had an older 4wd for 8 years prior to finding my toy, the 4wd had small amounts of rust in it when i got it so had it repaired/resprayed and installed a product called RUST STOP. They use sacrificial anodes and some elctronic wizardry, anyways never ever had any rust return or show up and believe me I WAS SURPRISED that it worked, but it really did.
Grab one from supercheap for cheap insurance.

Great stuff Lanotec
I have been using it for about 5 years and it is great.
I sprayed my boat trailer with it on the first day, I use my boat every week end and it still looks perfect.
I work in the electrical supply industry, we spray everything with it and it makes life very easy.
The grease is also great stuff

When I had my gun shop, the trawler operators used it to stop their rifles and handguns rusting at sea. It worked extremely well, in fact it would preveny rust on blued guns while "stainless steel" ones that were untreated started to spot.
