Gibbs penetrant

[imoto]

Do you guys stateside know if the Gibbs product you are using of the magnesium fan and shroud is available in a non pressurised can ? I emailed the company asking but they never replied. The reason I ask is Iam down in Australia and would like to try it but aerosols are not possible to send via airmail and it seems now that sufrace mail between our two countries no longer exists.

Yes. When I got my can of Gibbs I also got a small pump spray bottle.

[RWebb]

also try Boeing Boe-shield (T9 I think) and "Corrosion Block" products

I have never been convinced that Gibbs is better than those

[cnielsen]

ZEP makes a similar product called Rust off or something like that.

Gibbs is great but so is every other penetrant I have used on Mag. WD40 even works great...

Which one should I use?

I did some searching and here are the home pages of these products, but i have no idea which one to order. Does it even mater? The sites all had really good info.

BoeShield:

2 Questions:

1. Anybody with a specific recommendation or problem with any of these products?

2. On the Gibbs site, it showed magnesium wheels that were corroded. Gibbs was sprayed on, then allowed to "soak in" for a few days. A ScothBrite was then used to remove the corrosion. Is this process also recommended for the fan and shroud for our beloved Porsche engines?
