Question 1

Would this be good to wipe on firearms for long term storage?

Accepted Answer

I don't think I'd use it for that purpose ?  I'd do a little more investigating into the firearms coating compatibility for your long term purpose. I've only been using it to coat under my vehicles.

Question 2

does this go on clear?

Accepted Answer

Mitch,   lps 3 does not go on clear.  This is more of a lighter version of cosmsline,  a heavy petroleum parfin waxes.   The color is more a light tan and remains soft and tacky for quite some time.  Its perfect for anything you want to prevent rust or oxidation in humid environments.  Lps 3 is easily removed with brake cleaner.  For a more long term rust prevention you should look at lps Procyon which is hard coat dryfilm.

Question 3

Can this be used for grills? Concerned about cooking after using it. Thanks in advance.

Accepted Answer

I’ve always used it to protect my firearms while they are in storage. I heard that it could be used for anything and it was specifically designed with the restaurant industry in mind. However I do not know if that is true. If you use it on your grill be sure to cook it off before you start cooking your meat.

Question 4

In years past (many years ago), i used to buy something called lps-4 that i used on metal surfaces on my boat (salt water exposed).  is this the same?

Accepted Answer

This company makes LPS-1, LPS-2 and LPS-3.  I was introduced to LPS-2 and LPS-3 by a technician who served Craftsman snow throwers over 30 years ago . He recommended it for the chutes and parts that came in contact with snow to lubricate and prevent rust.  I have used it for years on various products, especially good for bearings on garage doors.  He did not have anything like LPS-4 and I have never seen it anywhere.  LPS sprays leave a thin self healing film to protect and lubricate metal.  It may work in a marine environment but I don't know.  It would likely cling to metal surfaces but for how long in a salt water environment, that's that question.
