I have bought it before from a site called getgibbs.com It is not cheap but it definitely works. I am in Wisconsin and I have a 31 coupe body that has been bare metal for about five years and it is still just shiny metal. It has been wiped down about twice. The nice thing I found is that when you go to paint a part that has been covered with Gibbs there is no fish eye problem at all. It is a great product for protecting metal. I still use aero kroil for really stuck screws and bolts. Just my 2 cents worth.

I don't know where to get it but a racer friend gave me a can. I could not have gotten my car apart without it. Great stuff.

"The Thing Shop" is the best place to get it that I have found.

There's a toll free number on the can. I'm traveling today but maybe someone can post. A local distributor (generally a hobbiest of some sort) will contact you. Gibbs is ACES! It cleans, lubricates, protects and inhibits rust. I spray it on my original paint vehicles, it will not harm the paint. Have used it for many years. Use Kroil on rusty nuts and bolts.

Going to try this lube you reccommend.
Just to echo other post, Kroil is amazing for rusty bolts. I live near the ocean salt air is brutal to metal. Purchase a gallon of Kroil a while ago for my squirt bottles, every fastener gets a squirt, preventive.
Also try Kreen an engine additive made by the company that makes Kroil, only use this in my daily modern driver, not sure how babbit responds to it. Have been coating my A with Por-15, then top coating with chasis black.

The Gibbs toll free # on the can is (888)461-2846. I just called it and got a recording. Leave a message indicating you'd like to buy some Gibbs and they'll call you back.

Thanks everyone, I'm going to use it to wipe down orginal paint on a truck, saw a 37 coupe that a guy did, looks good to preserve paint, always can wipe off and paint at later date, Bruce
