Best stuff I ever used. Go to your local GM dealer and get a can or two of Rust Penetrant and Inhibitor, GM Part Number 1052627.



This is some of the BEST stuff I have ever used! When I had my Tercel in '03, (it was a '95) I sprayed all the nuts and bolts I though might have to be removed in the next 5 years or so with the stuff. It made rusty old bolts look BRAND NEW! I sprayed the Scion under the hood with it just now, and you can WATCH the rust disappear! I sprayed everything that I think might need to be replaced, the valve cover, horns, radiator hold-downs, etc. It will probably smell like burning oil for the new hundred miles or so, but the stuff REALLY WORKS!



Paid $9.03 per can (I thought it was going to be $12 a can) well worth it! Blows anything similar into the weeds, ie WD-40, PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, ETC.



it likely IS PB blaster, since GM doesnt make chemicals. all that stuff is usually relabelled stuff from another company.

Oh, no, definitely not PB. Quite different. It seems to have graphite. Here, I have a can right on my desk! Let's look:

I'll be damned! UIt says right on the can, this is NOT PB Blaster! No, really, though: Petroleum Naptha Water...WATER?!

2-Butoxyl ethanol (DON'T LIGHT A MATCH!) 9-Octadecenoic acid-Ammonium salts Liquified petroleum Methyl amyl alchohol

I do know from experience, it works better than PB...

They don't seem to be making many cars, either.... ;-)

Ya know, I could have bought a Brand New Cobalt for what I paid for my Scion...

Just couldn't bring myself to do it! They're too sporadic. You get a good one, then 3 bad ones. Didn't want to roll those dice.

I've sprayed bolts with PB Blaster and they LOOK the same when the stuff dries as they did before. This stuff makes them look NEW, as long as they aren't TOO rusty!
