Works As Stated
Great stuff. Used this on a bunch of surplus ammo cans that had surface rust on them from being in storage in a pole barn for decades.Sprayed each can down completely, let them sit for 3 days to evaporate some, hit them with a brass brush, and all of the rust spots were gone. Also, sprayed down a recently-acquired SKS that had seen better days. The metal had surface rust, the chamber and barrel were severely neglected, as were both piston rods, trigger group, gas tube, butt plate, and the bolt carrier group. Basically, the rifle looked like it was stored in a pole barn in the tropics somewhere. Everything looked terribly neglected.I used half of a can just on the SKS, which is a LOT of product. A little goes a long way, and it does penetrate. Left for a week wrapped in cheesecloth to keep it saturated and to help pull off the rust, dirt and whatever else was on it.Unwrapped it, hit it with some Purple Power degreaser (diluted 2:1), rinsed with hot water and used shop air to dry it off.Afterwards, it looked 30 years newer and 98% of the surface rust was gone. It will need refinished in the future, but this stuff gave it a serious face-lift and cleaning it desperately needed.If only it could be used on the original wood stock. *sigh*Anyway, worth the money. It seriously works great.

Kinda like an eco-friendly WD-40
Works mostly as expected, spray on and scrub off light surface rust, and this leaves a little bit of a protective coating. I've been using it also to lubricate door hinges and other things in my house as I don't like blasting WD-40 inside. Don't expect this to totally revitalize heavily rusted stuff but for a little bit of surface rust on tools this does the trick.

I was excited to try this, but it fails to even spray.
I went to use some of this brand new unused gear hugger and both cans fail to spray at all. I’m not sure if it’s the eco friendly propellant they used or the low ish temps in my garage (mid 40s) but, I have two cans full of liquid I cannot use. My WD40, CLP and PB blaster all work in this temp range, but this was a fairly expensive experiment that did not go well. I’ll give the seller a bit of time to respond or replace it otherwise it’s getting returned. Eco friendly is great and all but it needs to actually propel liquid out of the can in order for this to be useful. I’d love to be able to rate the function of the product but I can’t even get that far into using it.

I hope to never have the need to purchase this product again.
Sticky and gummy even when you wipe off leaves a residue that dries to it clogging stickiness. That's not great for any moving parts in my experience. Unfortunately, I bought quite a few of these when they were on sale at one point. As an alternative, I may switch to be using Kurobara Camellia Oil which I've been using for years on my carbon chest knives. It definitely doesn't seem to have the same issues of gumming up and getting sticky and granted it doesn't dry even though after a year and a half gear hugger has only dried to a gummy sticky mess.
