I was wondering if anyone uses LPS3 rust inhibitor / lubricant?
I have a can of this stuff that I have been trying out for numerous general lube applications and it seems to work great! It clings really well and then turns like a greasy wax. Has anyone else used this lube? I am going to try it on my seats and sunroof next, I think it will work well.

for lubricating, you should prob'ly try LPS 2. LPS 3 is mostly a corrosion barrier...

I use LPS3 on many areas of my boat. It is formulated to act as a rust-inhibiting barrier, not as a lubricant as David mentions.

Due to the waxy composition, LPS3 will be counterproductive to use it as a lubricant.

I assume you want to use it on your seat rails, not the seats themselves Bernie.

Hmmm. The LPS-3 that I use is billed as a good chain lube for motorcycles if I remember correctly. Of course it's old (my memory...) and there may be better chain lubes on the market. It is waxy when it dries, does an OK job on the chain plates but no penetration to the rollers.

For seats, hood and door hinges, latches, sunroof slides etc, I use a spray lube, a teflon-reinforced white lithium stuff with one of those thin tube extensons on the nozzle. It works well as a lube, but has the added benefit of being white. Makes removal of excess and overspray pretty simple. Biggest problems I've found with most lubes in these services si that we use too much, and seldom get any on the parts that need it. Ends up staining clothes and carpet if you aren't careful. Look for it with various brand names on it. Mine has 'Trak Auto' house label on it, but was undoubtedly packaged for them by a bigger company.
