PB Blaster is Crazy!

Ok, so I found out my 300zx which is nearly rust free, well it has a big spot of rust. Not on the underside, not in the spare tire well, but on the other side of the hatch near the tool kit. Luckily it's salvageable and not all the way through. So I'm in the process of cleaning it up through the use of hand sanding, power sander, flat head screw drivers as scrapers, pliers, etc. Anyway first off, spraying PB blaster all over and letting it sit, won't hurt the metal in any way, right? Anyway the previous owner looks to have used POR or some kind of rust paint over the rusted area to try and help it out. The PB Blaster is just eating right through the rust paint, and then the rest of the rust is just like turning to mush. I knew this stuff was good, but wow.

Now imagine if you used the Liquid Wrench penetrant and lubricant. That is 10 times better than PB Blaster in mine and JBs280z's real world test...I wish others would realize this as well...it really does kick PB's ****!!

Alright, I'll spray some Liquid Wrench on in the morn. I actually use both. When I go for penetrating lubricant I buy a can of each. I've never actually determined which was better as I usually just end up alternating in soaking, but at least in what I'm doing PB blaster is really going to town on the rusted crap.

I'll pay him the full price I got for everything of his that I sold... minus my charges for storage, my time for advertising and selling, and interest on holding his money. In the end, he owes me money.

280zx2by2...Both myself and Jeremy have used that exact PB Blaster and it is weak when compared to the Liquid Wrench in REAL WORLD situations, who cares if it can melt a coffee cup...nobody has anything stuck to one of those. Ask Jeremy about the throttle cable on his Kawasaki and what both products did and how long it took them to do it. Now that PB Blaster is ok if you want to clean some light surface rust off of tools like chrome sockets and what not but if you want to break stuff free and don't want to wait too long then it's the good old Liquid Wrench.

The 10mm bolts that hold my exhaust on my bike were rusted so bad they wouldn't move. I soaked them for almost 6 hours with PB Blaster and still nothing. That is with several applications of the blaster. Once I got ahold of a can of Liquid Wrench as pictured above, it may have taken 10 minutes of soaking with just one application and BAM, they came loose very easy. That stuff is no joke and it really works...and I didn't even have to ruin a styrofoam cup to find that out. Before you knock it, go ahead and do your own real world test on rusted parts and you will see for yourself...lots of stuff will eat through a cup...I use fire.

its probly gooder than that there PB but the liquid wrench a had was real old(i guess the chemicals got weak) and i had just bought some of the PB and it seemed to work well... ill get some LW(liquid wrench) next time i go to advanced and compare... (the only thing i have used the PB on is the several bolts that hold the fuel rail on and bolts on the splash guard, i mixed it with some degunker and it cleans good!!!)

Oh crap...my daughter is in a Ga public school...Great, now I get to look forward to conversations with her that may go like this:

(Small child with southern drawl)

"Daddy, we was at the school today walkin down the hallway 2 by 2 and we seen this girl who thinks she gooder than us so was like, you aint gooder than us we is educated"

(Me without a southern drawl)

"Oh dear lord, what are they teaching you at that school child?"

(Child)

Don't be up in my face old man, you aint gooder then me!"

(Me)

Yeah my daughter lives in Camden County near Jeremy. I kid of course about the schools and what not, after all my best friend lives there and even though he talks to his wife more than me when we are on the phone he is probably one of the smartest people I know. I would also like to say that when it comes to advise on chicks he has a 99.98% streak going whereas he is correct that much of the time...everything else...99.97% correct. I fill in the other .03% for what he doesn't know

Anyone heard of aerokroil? Liquid Wrench doesn't melt a Styrofoam cup like PB Blaster does, I've tried it. It's a different chemical makeup. See it's hard to judge which works better. There's times where I've sprayed and sprayed with Liquid Wrench and it didn't come free. Then I use PB blaster and it comes loose. Then I do it in reverse.
