What do you use to keep the unprotected metal from rusting?

Original pad surfaces develop a nice patina but don't necessarily rust. Most of the heavily rusted surfaces you see have been manipulated to hide something. This patina I am talking about is always present in original pad surfaces. Strip the paint and clean it that's all.

I use a product called PreLube 6....works great at protecting the surface.

I use a drop of motor oil...applied via rag or thumb.

WILCO. Just checking.

John Machaquiero is coming to do a photo shoot of my '71 in the next few weeks and I'm trying to clean a few things up.

Thanx guys,

A drop of any kind of oil will work it gives it that gray iron look.

I am with Gerard. Pre-Lube 6 is one of the finest bare metal protectors of corrosion there is. Just put a little on your finger and rub it on and then wipe off the excees.

Kurt, I have been using T9 Boeshield for as long as I can remember. First time I ever saw someone mention the product here. Boeing aircraft product
Great on locks. I use it on my low mileage bicycle chain too. There is always a can of T9 in my trailer. If I have trouble with the electrical plug going into the tow vehicle I spray T9 all over the contacts and it never fails me.
On the fuel injection restorations I use it on the hi-pressure pumps.
I will have to try Pre Lube 6 also. Thanks, JD
