Adrenolin, what makes you such fan of Fluid Film?
Moosie
To many reasons to actually list however I've used the product for years and it works. Buy it in a spray can, small container with applicator brush or a 1gallon and larger canister. It protects against corrosion better than any other product I've used. I'm into older classic cars and have talked to dozens of people in the US and Canada who use this on their 15k to 250k $ cars. It's used on farms, at sea, on planes and in dozens of other fields. It's easy to apply, doesn't require much, libricates my revolvers shooting 5 rounds through to my ARs shooting 100s of rounds, doesn't evaporate, doesn't wash off easily (without soap), doesn't leave fingerprints, doesn't gum up, doesnt harm plastics, optics, metals, wood, etc etc etc.
It's an outstanding protective product that also lubricates very well. Really after cleaning you could simply likely spray everything, use a cloth to wipe access and polish the external metal parts like the top slide, reassemble and either toss it into a safe for 5 years or hit the range. I don't like a 'wet' firearm! Wet simply allows more dirt, powder, debris, etc to more quickly stick and increse wear. Yes, I understand some will not agree on my view here but oh well. Once applied it doesn't wipe off when removing the access but leaves a very thin protecting film.
Everyone likes a product for whatever their reasons.. I know guys who have used this product for years in extremely harsh environments (farms, logging, Canadian east coast deepsea fishermen, drag cars, etc) and it really works. Shortly after I got into firearms it clicked that instead of using some special 'gun oil' I might be able to use what I always have out in the garage already. A quick Google showed some others using it. Called Fluid Film and asked them about it and was told they fully support its use as a firearm corrosion protectant and lubricant. I started with my Walther PPS and a few 1000 rounds and all was well. Moved on to my ARs then and have never had any issues. Its now used on all my firearms.. the shooters, the stored and the collector items.
It's great all around the house, garage, yard, shop, workbench and cleaning area. Call it my 1 shot solution for everything from corrosion to lubrication, to loosening a bolt, fixing squeaky door hinges, etc. I'm about to order 2 1gal cans to rust protect 4 cars next month. Drop a tarp, drive car on, jack up, place stands!, crawl under and spray on. I do this every 2 years on cars driven daily.
Sigh... Ok so I rambled a bit. I'm away in Canada again, was heading to bed shortly and had a 'few' beer
Btw.. Lots of moose up here! Lol
