LPS3 Premier Rust Inhibitor, 11 oz Aerosol , hazy brown - L00316

as per recommendation of an aerospace engineer and a gun collector I purchased my first bottle (windex type bottle) many years ago to use for a longer term storage on firearms. Well, product does NOT disappoint, as a matter of fact - it preserves my firearms and enhances blue in the metal as well (important, as I do a number of restorations and this is my 'sealer' after applying bluing solution). I found it to be safe on inside/outside/wood/polymer(composite) stocks/inside bores... As a test(my first bottle), I had a take off swede mauser barrel cut in half (not the long way) and left both halves side by side outside in July or August in NE WI. One half was as is, another half was lightly coated inside and out with LPS3 - two weeks later (sun, due, humidity and we had one small rain shower) I went to the back of the garage where these two were... untreated half was rusty inside and out, other half (treated) looked as it was just brought outside.this stuff does NOT cause any long term damage to any parts of the firearm (metal/composites/wood). It will create a fine film (almost wax like), so use your best judgement when applying to firing pin channels, precision triggers and etc - it won't cause harm but it will affect mechanical performance with added friction if you do not clean it and apply heavy (same goes for your first /cold shot in the barrel - I run a patch with a more viscous gun oil).I use both, this spray and a windex type bottle. for cold weather users - it will thicken, so be advised as far as firearms moving parts or if taking your treated with LPS3 item outside in colder temps (made a mistake once hunting rabbits at 0F and bolt stooped cycling in a semi-auto 22 :), so I do wipe off now when going hunting and target shooting in the cold- or at lest, the moving parts )...for long term safe storage, vaults, cabinets, crates - nothing better in my trials.

Good protection, easy to use.no problems.

Used this oily ting for many years on spare tires under the back of my pickup or other places I needed a semi-permanent oily rust inhibiting coating. Always worked for me.

Overpriced.

No surprises.

Used on a motor to protect during open storage in a Moroso engine bag. Working great so far!

While performing annuals, A&P Mechanic used this a lot. Controls junctions and cables within the wings. Anything that needed to resist surface corrosion and light lubricant in areas where dust and dirt didn’t adhere to. I use it today in place of WD40. Stays once dried.

LPS 3 is a great product for protection and lubrication of all types of metal applications.
