I did not bash Lubriplate. Lubriplate is a good product and it is used at G.M. dealerships all over the country. It is used Houston, Texas to lubricate door rollers - both in the paste form and in aerosol. I've issued out many a pint can of lubriplate under the G.M. part number 1052349. It is also available in a 16oz aerosol can under a G.M. part number - but I can't remember the exact part number.
All I stated was that for the particluar situation (the O/P lives in New York and has road salt) that the AMSOIL product would provide more protection for a longer period of time under the stated conditions.
Lubriplate will not protect against road salt. Lubriplate will wash off when exposed to water Specific Gravity = 0.89 (Water = 1) Water is HEAVIER than Lubriplate. See URL:

The product mentioned about MPHD - Metal Protectant Heavy Duty - applies in a liquid state and the solvent evaporates leaving a permanent waxy lubrication that resists penetration by water and provides a barrier against road salt. It leaves a visible residue similar to cosmoline.

The MSDS for AMSOIL's Metal Protector HD Pay careful attention: The specific gravity shows 0.65 (lighter than lubriplate - in Liquid Form). While it is lighter than Lubriplate in the aerosol container, the liquid solvent evaporates leaving the much heavier coating that will protect against splashing water and road salt.

It is even recommeded as an undercoating to protect against road salt. Show me where Lubriplate recommends using their product as an undercoating to protect against road salt.
You guys just crack me up with your finger pointing and foul language. Finger Pointing and Foul Language is so much easier than independent investigation and fact finding which leads to unbiased and knowledge based understanding as a direct result of personal learning. Only your biases stand in the way of learning.
