    WTB Broken Gainmaster

    Rust Prevention

    Woolwax is funny to me because its fluid unlike bulk fluid film which is more like a light grease. Ive got the pro spray gun setup from kellsport for fluid film. It will spray the fluid film which is more viscous than the woolwax but won't spray the woolwax unless its heated. I haven't tried the...

    Rust Prevention

    Late to the discussion but I have been using lanolin based products on my vehicles for years now. First starting using fluid film about 15 years ago. I switched over to woolwax about 4 or 5 years ago. I use woolwax on the underside of vehicles and fluid film in the body panels. Fluid film creeps...

    MURS interference

    We used to have a bunch of those driveway alarms around here going off. "Alert zone one" I haven't heard any in a long time though. The local walmart used to run channel 4 and 5 and they would get so mad when anyone else used the channel. They really thought it was a private channel for their...
