Right up front let me say this is not an ad or endorsement for any particular product....and not in any way a "scientific" or verifiable test of the merits of this or any other product....but for info only. I'm not an employee or affiliated in any way.
I recently did an experiment with a new (to me) product that I thought might be of interest. The company, Corrosion Technologies Corporation, makes a variety of products designed to reduce or prevent oxidation.....something we all hate to see develope on our firearms.... and our other "tools".
This product is called "CorrosionX" and is designed specifically for guns. Although the term "CLP" is not used, the fact that it can be used as such is implied on the label.
The two pieces of raw steel shown in the photos were de-greased, roughed up with a file, and then the one on the left was treated with the CorrosionX product. The small pieces were then left outside, unprotected in the weather, day and night, for two weeks. Needless to say, it's been hot, muggy and rainy here....as usual this time of year.
As far as cleaning/lubrication goes, it cuts crud and shooting residue well and seems to stay put on rails and parts after cleaning, when applied in small quantities. The product also seemed to protect the steel from oxidation pretty well....almost completely in fact.....and could be useful to those of you who carry at work, etc., and are prone to be caught outside, or are subjected to inclement weather or salty, humid environments. Or, for those of you who carry additional firearms in the trunk of your vehicle....a proven inhospitable environment.
Something else to try, perhaps, in the search for a product that will help protect exposed metal surfaces that are vulnerable.
