Phosphate & Oil Finish

(1/3) > >>

C5ZZKGT:
I need to go over and touch up the Phosphate & Oil finished parts on my '65, and am seeking suggestions as to what to use and how to apply it.
I am told that my restorer originally used torn-off pieces of very very fine steel wool and grear oil.
I have also been told by others to just use plain motor oil.
I know absolutely nothing about this finish but understand that it needs to be gone over about once a year, and I want to do it right.
Whatever I use would I just leave it on or wipe it off after its been on for some time? Thanks!

DTruitt:
I use militec about once a year.  I put it on a gun patch or rag and rub it in.  As you can see from the web site it has a lot of uses.

Boeshield T9 rust preventer is what I use and recomend to others.

J_Speegle:
I did some looking and choose Corrosion X - Similar to the Bioshield

NOTE POSTED 12/2016: Be aware that this product can have a negative affect on rubber products. Something that has been noticed over long term usage

Went with the standard stuff since I wanted a thin film product rather than a heavy or thick film

I heat (just a little) up the part first to assure that all moisture is gone and to open the pores to help the metal soak up the product. Wipe it or soak it.  Makes touching up allot easier than clear coating
