Question 1

Can crc heavy duty corrosion inhibitor be used to lubricate garage door hinges?

Accepted Answer

No this stuff dries to a pretty tough resistant film, it does not lubricate. If you already did this good luck getting it off, maybe brakecleen would do it, you will need something besides soap and water. CRC is great for undercoating stuff and preventing rust in high corrosion environments like the bottom of your car. Do not use it for hinges. I personally use a white lithium grease in a spray can by WD40 on my garage doors. Not real WD40 which is a penetrating spray, white lithium grease made by the same company. The downside is that most oils/ greases attract and hold dirt so in a few years it'll be pretty scuzzy. The best solution for something like garage doors or squeeky hinges is a dry graphite lubricant like this https://www.amazon.com/Blaster-8-GS-Industrial-Graphite-Lubricant/dp/B0094IZ3BA that should also fall into the manufacturer specs for you garage doors.

Question 2

how long would this product last as an undercoating on a car?

Accepted Answer

It all depends where you use it. This product can last a long time. Longer than most products against rust. It doesn’t wash off like wool wax. There’s some videos on YouTube and this product was compared to other products and this one came on top.

Question 3

Having a vintage trailer sandblasted. Would this be applied after primer and paint, after primer alone, or to bare metal?

Accepted Answer

Do not use on the bare metal that is going to be painted. Corrosion Inhibitor is for metal items being stored such as metal files, drill bits and wrenches in a tool box.

Question 4

At the coast for 3 months in a motor coach.  Is this product good for chrome protection??

Accepted Answer

If you want to protect from corrosion but not have the gloss chrome finish anymore. It would leave a caramel color coating to the metal which would eventually dry to a flat finish.
