I like the way Ballistol and Break Free CLP worked. Both would be great to have and looks like they work just about the same in the real world setting.
Thanks for pointing me to this test video, which was just as interesting & informative as your Mil-Comm vs FrogLube video. As you suggested in this video, I'm going to watch Plate of Truth by FredHart. I've subscribed to your channel & will look forward to any & all additional anti rust lube tests. It appears to me you are unbiased & letting the results speak.
Nice video, looks like the glock lube (from your other vid) is the best as far as pure rust prevention. I love my ballistol but man that stuff has a NASTY smell :) I guess I will stick with ballistol for the lubrication and cleaning qualities and hopefully there will be not much chance of rusting in my safe with the dehumidifier plugged in. :) Nice work again always learn some stuff when I watch your videos.
Loved the results & the vids, thx for them all. One question though, why did you not let the oils soak in a little more before subjecting them to the saline solution? It would appear that most people would finish cleaning their firearms then, do a light lube on their weapons before they would get subjected to such a harsh environment? Was it just to speed things up? Thx again.
From Glockmeister: I tried to include a direct link to the product @Glockmeister's website & wasn't able to post. It is referred to as Copper Lube or CL-2, a 1 oz tube is $9.00 With the advent of superior synthetic lubes, now, COPPER LUBE that Glock is still using may very well turn out to be inferrior.......wouldn't THAT get GLOCK'S attention?
There are 2 things I would have liked to see done differently: - Instead of applying the product onto a cotton swab then rubbing it on the surface, I would have applied the product onto the surface then rub it. I can understand that it can be difficult for some bottles, but rubbing a wet cotton swab might only leave a very thin layer; maybe not enough. - When spraying the salt water directly into the metal plates, it may act like a hose that pushes some of the applied product away. Coupled with the fact it was thinly applied with a cotton swab, it might not leave enough product to be tested. Especially since Ballistol is designed to emulsify with water to turn into a creamy white substance. The 1st point might not be relevant if you are constantly assaulted by strong water blow (like a boat you are trying to protect against rust), but if you merely live in a very damp and salty area, it's not the same thing.
That being said, I think it's clear from this video that if we store our stuffs in a relatively controlled environment and periodically clean them up (like every couple of months), we should be fine.
I'm the guy that previously asked you to include G Lube in your next corrosion test, sold by Glockmeister. Please include the COPPER LUBE that Glock puts on all their firearms when being shipped from the production facilities. The Copper Lube is something Gaston Glock believed in, however times have changed & we now have newer & maybe better long term protectants. I'm kind of surprised you haven't already included it in your corrosion tests - the GLOCK COPPER LUBE; sure to get GLOCKS attn
Some products have a lot of volatile solvents that have to be given time to evaporate, while Mobil 1 has none. Multiple thin coats, dry, recoat, dry totally before testing is much more like real use.
an auto engine lives under very harsh conditions every day of its life. During spring especially an engine that sits goes through many cycles of warming and cooling in very humid conditions. I have seen engines sweating on the inside yet seldom seize up. I have also have had new ar's not want to run using light gun oils yet ran fine after literally dumping engine oil in the upper receiver and cycling it a few times. That's when I started using engine oil. Does not mean I'm right it's just what i do. thanks for the video.
I'll look forward to the test + all the replies & WHAT is said + the # of Views - it will be enlightening to see just how many people view the video & in how much time. Depending on the results the video could very well go virual
Please test EEZOX with a....1 coat 24 hour dry and wipe dry . Then test another part with 2 coats ...go 1 coat, wait 24 hours, wipe dry, then 2nd coat, 24 hours, wipe dry and test.Nothing will stick well.
Lubrication and rust prevention are two completely different jobs. Expecting one product to do both is a unnecessary compromise. Interior moving parts need a super slippery synthetic, exterior of gun needs Shooters Choice Rust Prevent (or equivalent).
Maybe having wiped them down at the end of the test would have given interesting results, perhaps 90% of rust would have come off some of these products ?
I even have a title for the test: GLOCK's Copper Lube compared to other Lubes.....that title would get EVERYONE's attention It's almost as though you would be questioning Glock's manhood.
WOW! I know this is old, but man, I appreciate this so much as I was looking for a comparison. Mobil is the way to go as it is the most traditional, I am disappointed at Hoppes and Ballistol. CLP is pretty good too.
Excellent video, I learned from it. Thank you Matt
Excellent work! I really appreciate you taking the time to do these tests for us!
Thanks for the review I will continue to use Ballistol on all my firearms! CLP is one heck of a product!
Thanks for the video. Very good job. FYI, the active cleaning agent in CLP is the same one that is in Mobile 1...
I like the way Ballistol and Break Free CLP worked. Both would be great to have and looks like they work just about the same in the real world setting.
Compared to other tests where ballistol is used from a spray can I can tell that the fluid version is quite better. The fluid version is thicker.

Well done test. I am a long time Mobil 1 synth user and it has served me well.

thank you for including mobil 1 synthetic.
Nice, simple and conclusive, GR8 job
Another excellent test... I'll be sharing this one with my gun buddies.
Very happy with the CLP results.. Great test! Thanks Matt!
Good job Matt. Another very informative video.
Great videos! Very fun to see.
clp is the only thing we used when i was in the marines. Ive been using it ever since, and love it.
Loved the results & the vids, thx for them all. One question though, why did you not let the oils soak in a little more before subjecting them to the saline solution?

Great Test... Moble 1 looks great..
Ballistol is the only oil tested that is mineral oil based. I'm wondering how well it would hold up if given time to cure into the metal.
Would love to see CLP vs TW25B
Good test,Thanks for your time,freadhart also did some heat test that was that was good info.
Good testing. Found it interesting. Thanks for your time!
Great video -- I love these test videos. Not as boring as you think. Or maybe I'm just a gun solvent nerd.
CLP ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great video,,,
Yep it damn sure does the job....thanks Bro...
Thanks
thank you for your time!
Good job ,Thanks for the information
Thank You.
Anything worth doing is worth the time! BTW, I am in the mood for some chicken noodle soup! Thanks for the vid AND your time!

The smell of breakfree and hoppies solvent makes me ill.I think i will try balistol for a all around solvent/oil
You should test Corrosion X and Gibbs
Some products have a lot of volatile solvents that have to be given time to evaporate, while Mobil 1 has none. Multiple thin coats, dry, recoat, dry totally before testing is much more like real use.
Glad Ballistol did as well since that is what I use.
you should do a test with 5% saltwater to mimic seawater

Cool stuff Matt. Hope all is well brother
Breakfree CLP is the clear winner. Breakfree is the best commonly available rust prevention product.
I'll look forward to the test + all the replies & WHAT is said + the # of Views - it will be enlightening to see just how many people view the video & in how much time. Depending on the results the video could very well go virual
no frog lube this time? lol
We began and lost 2 World wars with ballistol...
Please test EEZOX with a....1 coat 24 hour dry and wipe dry . Then test another part with 2 coats ...go 1 coat, wait 24 hours, wipe dry, then 2nd coat, 24 hours, wipe dry and test.Nothing will stick well.
Glad you took it off "private", I was getting an inferiority complex :)
Nice test!!! Thanks!!
Love ballistol
Mobil 1 did quite well.

Rider Mak or CLP for both
I will be damned!!!!!!!!! I have used RemOil on every fucking gun I have had for almost 15 years, but NEVER AGAIN!!!!! CLP IS MY NEW FRIEND!!!!!!!!!
Maybe having wiped them down at the end of the test would have given interesting results, perhaps 90% of rust would have come off some of these products ?
great job man that was great
NO ONE, not even Fred Hart, has included Glock's COPPER LUBE in any comparison tests.
I even have a title for the test:
GLOCK's Copper Lube compared to other Lubes.....that title would get EVERYONE's attention
It's almost as though you would be questioning Glock's manhood.
Great video! keep it up!!! :-)
Great Vid!
I just want a Rollie with a dab of ranch... 2:04
You have to shake the ballistol!! Or you won't get as much of the oil! So your test might not of been accurate.
Fireclean?
22Addict vegetable. oil
Astroglide works the best
WOW! I know this is old, but man, I appreciate this so much as I was looking for a comparison. Mobil is the way to go as it is the most traditional, I am disappointed at Hoppes and Ballistol. CLP is pretty good too.
mobil 1... wow
HA!! KNEW mobil1 rocked!!!
Test was flawed! can anyone guess why the test was flawed?
Great video. Thanks for the information.
