I'd like to see how this test was performed before I give it any weight. How did they calculate that the bolts were equally rusty?

I'd like to see how this test was performed... I like details too but for something this simple just mix some up and try it so it leaps out of the theoretical realm. I keep it in a Nalgene container for the homemade stuff with a small capped pull-out hose. If you don't have a good delivery method it doesn't make any sense to mix it up. I've used this mixture for years but still have one can of Kroil around because spraying is occasionally handy. Kroil was all I used for many years, but since I always have ATF and acetone around, anything that works well and I don't have to go to the store for gets my vote! |
