Trying to get the products to keep my guns in good working condition and preserved, in Canada, is an issue. EzOx is impossible to purchase in Calgary. However I was experimenting with a spray on plastic that can be removed. I've used it on my cars, over decals, to waterproof hats and was wondering about spraying it on the outside metal and wood of one of my vintage guns. My only concern would be that the gun would need to be clean and dry and if unnoticed moisture was to get under the plastic layer somehow. Wonder what other members might think of the advantages and potential risks.

Read this thread in its totality, you'll forget about Eezox.

Very well thought out analysis. However; I wish he would have included one of the wax based products such as Renaisannce Wax as a preservative.
I use Breakfree CLP ond or Hoppe's as a cleaner followed up by Ren Wax on the exterior of my own firearms.

Ballistol was included. It had mild rusting after 24 hours. Scan towards the middle of the posting. Well done and well though out as a test. Take from it what you will he does seem to be very methodical and tested just about anything you might use.

There are other qualifications...i.e. does a product get sticky with time which could compromise a stored auto pistol from going into emergency service. Does a product attract lint, which is an issue in gun carry. How does it react to fired residues, etc. Good test on salt spray, though. Steve

My experience with Eezox is good. It has held up well for me in the field and in storage. Like hopes I have grown accustomed to the smell.

Steve White raises a good point about oil attracting dirt. In the desert I keep my rifle near dry to avoid the dust sticking to it.

Tamid, DO NOT spray that stuff on your guns. Too many little crevices for it to get into and clog up the mechanism.

Here is the mother of all studies on gun care products. This exhausting (on all fronts including getting to the end) test of 46 products, 33 of which are dedicated to gun care, was directed to water displacement, smell/odor, lubrication, finish compatibility and rust prevention.
