And you can either waste lots of time and money on unproven Doctor Mo-Jo's Magic Loosen-All with Flex Fluoride and Vitamin E, or simply use what works and get on with life. Speaking of which, go get one. |

PB Blaster does very well compared to WD40 Incredible difference.
Compared to the MOPAR stuff, I don't know, never used the dealer stuff. Castle Chemical had some stuff called Thrust that worked fairly well also. |

I bought a can of PB Blaster just a couple of days ago, and used it on my car where white lithium grease usually goes. What a goopy mess. I'm certain my hood latch will never stick now if I never do anything to it again, ever. Compare that with my Gunk Liquid Wrench, which goes where no lubricant has ever gone before. Of course, that liquid wrench penetrating oil has zero surface tension, so it wicks itself into everywhere and anywhere instantaneously. Which is better? Can't say for sure, but that PB Blaster sure makes a _mess_. Lg |

It is called Super-eez, by Texas Refinery Corporation, (TRC,) Fort Worth TX. a little pricier though $7 per aerosol spray can 13oz. at least that was the cost two years ago. It lasts me a long time by using the other three first in turn, WD-40, Liquid Wrench, PB Blaster then TRC Super-eez. then cutting torch. BILL P.

I use the WD-40 all the time on almost everything, but hinges usually were getting white moly grease. Now I dose them with PB Blaster and I think it gets to where it is supposed to be -better- than white moly grease. But it isn't a penetrating oil, that is for sure. Then again, my can of it didn't mention "penetrating" on it, so I guess I just bought the regular version of it. IMO, possibly better than white moly grease, maybe better than WD40, really hard to tell at this point. Otoh, Liquid Wrench has never let me down yet, except in some rare cases where the bolt and nut are so rusted it is hard to tell them apart ( e.g. exhaust pipes ). I couldn't find either the Kroil or Mopar penetrating oil. Lg DIY'r for the most part, until I get in over my head, and then it goes to the shop where I get hammered in the wallet. >BILL P. >The Shade Tree >Mechanic with >most of the >leaves missing |

It is attracted to iron but not non-ferrous metals? Does it line up with the earth's magnetic poles? Which side of the can is "South" and which part is "North", or does that get mixed up if you shake the can first? What is revolutionary is I bought a can of stuff that has printed on it "AS SEEN ON TV" ;-\ Lg |
