If something like this has been covered here,,,sorry for the redundency.
I did a test against BreakFree CLP, which is supposedly a very good prevenitive.
This steel bar was thuroughly cleaned in degreaser. Then treated in 1/3's with BF/CLP, Hoppes, and Ezzox. With a gap the width of a Q-Tip between.
CLP on the left, Hoppes in the middle, and Eezox on the right.
Immersed in a saltwater bath, 3x that of sea water.
after 24 hrs.
48 hrs.
72 hrs.
Notice what logically seems the Eezox crept to fill the void between it and the Hoppes.
Hoppes did pretty good, but was starting it fail.
CLP isn't what I thought it to be. Hard telling how long Ezzox witll stand up.
But Ezzox has my vote for both preserving and cleaning as well.
Boeshield is reported to be excellent fro preserving/rust preventive, but cost more according to my calulations I don't have any on hand, or otherwise I would include it. But it also don't have the cleaning action as well, that Ezzox has.
