Default The stuff they use on aircraft, if you can find it . . .

It's a spray, they use it on engine parts on 747s etc. The stuff is miraculous, your calipers will *never* rust and will look new for many years.

Default Good! I've never seen this brand so I don't know if it's the real thing . . .

What's even better is the aviation-oily-antirust-spray. You spray it on engine and underbody components that get salt spray . . . parts wipe shiny clean years later.

Sorry, I forget the trade name for it . . . I used to get it free when I worked for a German car company. I bathed my '80 VW with the stuff and that puppy is still around.
