Modern day cosmoline
Just an informative post. At our shop we use multiple products to prevent rust on bare metal. Ford did the same with cosmoline. Some things we ship out people have ask where we find this coating? Attached is a photo of what I use for things like transmission gears, crankshafts, etc for long term high humidity storage. IMG_6311.jpg

Re: Modern day cosmoline
Michael:
CRC also makes two other products. SP-350 & 400. I've used the SP 400 and it's incredible. Forms a thick, tough film over parts and protects it for years. Only down side with SP-400 is you need to purchase CRC's heavy duty degreaser to remove it. I'll need to check out the Marine product you are using to see how it compares. Thanks for the tip. |

Re: Modern day cosmoline
Hey guys - great info as I'm always taking something apart and then having to spray white lithium grease or some other concoction on it. Something else I use is Gibbs - that is another amazing product - but it would not compete with something that has more film thickness.
Side Note: I use my sonic cleaner with a heavy soap/water combination on newly found bearings and other parts that still have cosmoline on them - seems to clean that stuff off quite well. |

Re: Modern day cosmoline
I use LPS 3 which is pretty much the same thing as one of the CRC products. Par-al-keytone is the closest thing to cosmoline but it's too heavy for most stuff

Re: Modern day cosmoline
I like Fluid Film, it has lanolin, which is basically sheep fat. It's not very thick. It is self-healing, meaning that if it scratches it welds itself back together.

Re: Modern day cosmoline
I spray Fluid Film on the underside of my pick up every fall, works great with all the winter salt up here in the North East. I would recommend it as an alternative to cosmoline. Auto stores sell it in a spray can.

Re: Modern day cosmoline
Fluid film is great as is Gibbs oil I use those both as well. I’ll have to try the other CRC products Tim has suggested
