    What about ACF50? I have used this on aluminum pieces and it works great there.

    Thanks, Rick

    I used Gibbs on my Aluminium Torq Thrusts but a motorcycle restorer who works with me suggested I try Owatrol Oil.

    Any one ever used it?

    I like to use Boeshield rather than Gibbs. Boe as in Boeing. Good stuff. Looks like you can get it over there too..

    Thanks for the tip Brad.

    Meanwhile, since a few years, I use Boeshield.
    I bought it at: https://www.gereedschappro.nl/en-nog...tn_q=boeshield

    I have used the Boeshield T-9 for several years and been very happy. What is a good way to clean the magnesium before coating?
