Rust-Prevention Product Comparison Test

Recommended Posts

This should generate some lively discussion...

Most of us have tried a variety of rust-prevention products.  If you're like me, you've found that some don't quite live up to expectations.  Many swear by a particular product, but I often wonder if their allegiance is tied to subconsciously defending the choice they made.  There are lot of manufacturer's claims published and a lot of one-use testimonials, but not much in the way solid comparative date to back them up.

Back in 2011, 'Classics Monthly' -- one of England's leading auto restoration publications -- began a test of a group of the leading, over-the-counter rust prevention products.  The test lasted for three years.  The products were split into two categories:  1) those for pre-paint treatment of exterior surfaces, and; 2) those for treatment of concealed internal surfaces (door cavities, frame rails, rocker sills, etc).  The results were quite interesting...

It was interesting that the Por15 and the Eastwood were near the bottom. I would have liked to have seen them use the Eastwood internal frame coating to get a point of reference on that against the other internal coatings

i could be wrong, but I don't think that the Eastwood internal frame coating product had been introduced at the time when the magazine started their comparison test.
