STA-BIL Rust Stopper

Easy peasy to use. Just spray it on and let let drip dry. Fantastic stuff

I've used what I thought was every conceivable spray lubricant and protectant that existed. I recently ordered this for it's claimed ability to tackle mild rust, and protect. It was also a product I've never used before. The can is only 12 oz, but unlike other stuff out there, this really goes a long way. I used it on Sliding Glass door with aluminum frame and rollers (not why I bought it but got carried away with this stuff). This door had lithium and siicone sprays in the past. This Spring I sprayed the track lightly, and rollers liberally, and WOW! Smoother than it ever was. On rust steel bolt locks, my older riding mower, my screw dampened vinyl windows, it worked well too. The spray is slightly foamy, and about and thinner than corn oil, thicker than WD. The surface rust turned from orange to dark grey, and was left oily. Unlike WD, this appears to actually break down rust, and leave the part cleaner, but obviously oily. I used some on many pares of pliers. Lubricates very well, and definitely freed up the hinge pins in a few pairs. WD just evaoporates away, and is a poor lube. I'm ordering my 2nd can of this today! I think I over did it experimenting. This product does have an odor, but not as bad as WD or PB. I wish I knew about it sooner. I recommend this highly. It leaves an oily residue, as any oil would, but it cleans up fairly easy. I don't know is this would be a good penetrant for freeing fasteners, but I can see it has ability to dissolve rust, and keep item lubed. Initial lubrication for low pressure applications is amazing. I'm not sure how it would work in high pressure lubrication applications. Should be perfect for squeeky pins or bushings where rust or other oxidation is present. Took over a week to get with Prrime. Maybe it's the Corona issue.

My six year old truck has seen plenty of road salt in New Hampshire and there is no end in sight. Recently I had a flat tire and went though the drill, discovering that the mechanism for dropping the spare was getting fairly rusty and the spare itself had the beginnings of some rust spots. So I ordered the Sta-Bil, which nicely neutralized rhe rust and left a nice coating that has held up well over a couple of months through some wet travel and gives every indication that it will last quite well. It also lubricated the moving parts nicely. As it is an oily coating, I would use it only on the underneath but the can took care of the spare wheel, the lowering unit mechanical parts, the hitch receiver, and several areas on the undercarriage/ bed. I would recommend it as a preventative measure on any truck with a spare tire underneath the bed.

Great stuff and a lot cheaper than woolwax

Glad I grabbed this for my old hand tools and my commuter bike. I spray a light coat on my wrench set, then wipe it down, and the light rust just stops spreading. I also used it on my bike chain after a rainy week and it stayed smooth instead of squeaking the next morning.

Mountain trailhead parking lot is where i basically live on weekends, and I grabbed this STA-BIL Rust Stopper to keep my old Tacoma and roof rack from dissolving after muddy hikes and winter road salt. First thing I did was hit the hitch, recovery points, and battery terminals. I spray, let it sit a bit, then wipe the extra so dirt doesn’t cake on. The hitch pin used to come out orange and crunchy. After a couple uses it slides out smooth and just looks normal metal again. I’m glad I tossed this can in the garage because before a rainy camping trip I gave my cargo basket a quick coat, and it still looks good instead of that flaky brown mess my buddy’s rack turned into adn squeaks like crazy.

Because I tinker with old garden tools in retirement, my son bought me this rust stopper. I used it on a rusty hand rake that belonged to my father. I just sprayed, wiped the extra, and the metal looked steadier and smoother. Being able to keep his tools going made me glad.

It's a rather thick lubricant that goes on heavy, application was easy once I got a feel for the contour of the spray button. It's a high quality lubricant but it is long drying and I found myself wiping a good portion off of the tools I wanted to protect making it not a great value in my opinion. While I am not trying to undermine this lubricant it just wasn't exactly what I was looking for but it does work as described.
