A Specialized Product
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Displaces moisture, replacing it with a coating of protection
|
|
|
Penetrates hard to reach areas, such as crevasses, seams, and channels
|
|
|
Defies gravity allowing the product to creep upwards, sideways as well as downward
|
|
|
Continues to creep, allowing it to re-coat and re-seal areas which become exposed
|
|
|
Sprays over tar, wax and other rust control products; if such products have cracked leaving the vehicle exposed, the product penetrates those areas, displacing the moisture and re-sealing those areas
|
|
|
Protects electrical wiring and components from corrosion

* "Water in the oil also promotes the formation of corrosive acids. Sulphur and nitrogen compounds, when combined with water in a hot engine, form sulphuric and nitric acid."
* "While oil additives retard the harmful effects of contaminates, they will not eliminate them. Water will still form acid compounds and sludge."
