Clear Undercoat

[Chris@FreedomMotorsports]

One last thing to cover what Mike said about the AMSOIL MP metal protector. Although I provided it so that he could include it in his latest testing. It is not meant to be a metal protector in the same sense as the MPHD. The AMSOIL MP metal protector is a less heavy duty product that is specifically designed with lighter silicates to provide protection for electrical components, guns, etc. It is ideal for use under the hood to protect electrical harnesses from moisture as it actually dries any moisture that may already be present but also does not allow further moisture contamination. But because it is a lighter form of metal protector, it does not perform as well in open areas that are exposed to the elements.

Hey, that looks pretty good. What is the name of the product? Would be interested.

Day #29 672 hrs Temp Is 50 to 70 Low Humidity.

The ACF and Fluid Film have finally started to rust. You can see it better in the close ups of them.

We have gone thru 64 ozs of salt water so far and I have to fill up today. The LPS is holding good which is surprising, it started to rust early on.
The MPHD is holding good also. We need to watch the rust acceleration of the ACF and FF from this point on.

Here are the standings

1. Fluid Flim and AC50 Tie
2. MPHD, Boeshield and LPS Tie
3. Eezox
4. FP10 and MPMP Tie

I am more than a little surprised by your results with the ACF-50. Although your results lean toward it doing better in the cooler weather, it didn't fair as well here with temperatures much lower. I will go out and take another pic or two today to show that it has all but quit protecting altogether here now. Maybe it is the difference in how the salt solutions were applied? Where you are spraying instead of pouring and possibly the different mixtures? IDK, but here, the LPS3 and MPHD are still protecting for the most part, although I will admit that in places, where the salt solution was able to eat at them they are rusty, the main body of the metal pieces is still rust free while the ACF-50 piece looks a lot like the others in your test, being covered in rust.

The mixtures are exactly the same. I am spraying them one time a day. I would like to run this test in the middle of summer here in Florida, that would give us all a good look at cold and hot conditions.

I will also take the ACF, on the exact date of the first test, (Sept -2) leave it outside, exact same location, to see what it really does under brutal conditions. I am wondering how fast it will wash off with the pouring rain and heat.

As promised, here are the latest pics of the test pieces after the snow sat on them and melted on it's own. From left to right are ACF-50, LPS3 and AMSOIL MPHD. You can DEFINITELY see on the bottom pic where the salt had the most negative effect on all of the pieces. But you can see in the top pic, the result of washing the pieces after the dirt testing. It didn't take much at all to clean the ACF-50 off the metal. The only thing I did to clean them was to spray them with a water hose on a warm day.

Day #36 840 hrs Temp Is still 50 to 70 Low Humidity.

It looks like the ACF and Boeshield are starting to catch up to the amount of rust on the Amsoil MPHD. The Amsoil rusting seems to be slowed down, while the rusting has accelerated on the other two. The FF looks the best.




Here are the standings

1. Fluid Film
2. ACF 50
3. Amsoil MPHD
4. Boeshild and LPS Tie
5. Eezox
6. Amsoil MP and FP 10 Tie I think I am going to pull these two down, there is nothing more to see and the test piece. They are completely rusted. Why ruin some good steel, save it for another test.

Does anyone else have a ridiculous amount of sand and dirt caked onto their amsoil mphd? It looks like my truck is rusted through but it's just dirt stuck to the coating. It's really tough to get off too, I'd probably have to get a wire brush to get the dirt off

That is actually pretty odd. I haven't seen anything stick to it without being easily washed off.
