Same here on the neverseize. Annual Inspection mechanic guys usually write up a complaint on my work order stating it is not to be used!! That stuff is like the mess the cat in the hat made. My vehicle passes inspection though.

nothing wrong with it as long as you torque right...i.e less
I think the snow driving mockery is to even out the February beach pictures from our Florida friends. 
I appreciate your comment Beej, that's sort of my concern-that the preventative treatment will cause some other issue. Did the sandblasters pay for the gas tank/brake line?

Looks like I need some of that AMSoil HD protector. In a pinch we have used chainsaw oil, just spray everything, with success. I never liked rust check because it greatly swells ALL rubber.
I too love the AMSOIL HDMP. I do wonder how effective it is on existing rust, I wonder if it would seep in and stop the rust? My fear is that as it dries to a waxy finish, that would encapsulate the rust and any moisture that found it's way in would make it even worse similar to POR-15. I would think that fluidfilm on existing rust would be the best bandaid to slow and also breath out any moisture

That might be correct. I don't know for sure. Rust is a very slow oxidization of iron so I think that even if you do have a small bit of moisture in there it won't really matter. The reaction should stop once the remaining O2 is consumed. Iron and steel items that fall into very deep water, where there is little oxygen, don't rust until they get to the surface.
I'm pretty confident that you could put almost anything oily or waxy on rust or bare steel and it will do the job. The most important difference between transmission fluid, engine oil, axle grease, fluid film, amsoil, and all the other products is the holding power of it in the application used. I think fluid film or other thin oils are great in low wear areas like inside frames, inside rockers and inside doors. If you want to do inside wheel openings, lower suspension parts and the bottom of floors out by the rockers, something tougher is needed unless reapplying all the time is not a big deal. This is why selling fluid film is a great business. It comes off every year in the high wear areas.

The shops that sell fluidfilm tend to dislike it when you tell them AMS makes a superior product.
