[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 4031585, member: 15054"] Door hinges and cleaner and use it on tools that got rusty and hard to operate. Yea there are better lubes. Rem oil gets used just like I use WD40. I use a lot of WD40 when I build an engine. Before and After powerwashing the engine I just picked up from the machine shop it gets sprayed down with wd and then blown off with air and then another spray of WD on machined surfaces. This last round of engine building I switched it up. My fresh torque plate honed cylinders and machined deck got a rub down with a rubber gloved hand and Quicksilver 2 stroke oil. Then I power washed it all including the deck and cylinders. ZERO flash rust. WD40 would have left me with some slight golden flash rust as it always has after power washing. When I did a rust test on bare steel the Quicksilver 2 stroke oil won the test. [/QUOTE]
