Gibbs works!!!

My Roadrunner has been outside for a month under a cover ( when the gale force winds aren't pulling it off)

and the Gibbs is still doing its job. No surface rust has appeared at all and the paint/patina is smooth to touch.
Pretty impressive. I used on my truck tool box this week and the rain is not touching the metal.
I'm persuaded.

I am going to spray it on my joints. See if it stops all the clacking noises as I move around.

I would not bother, Dave.

It will make them very hard to light...and it may make them taste like flea powder by all accounts.............

Can't smell worse than the stuff kids are smoking these days. I don't remember it smelling like a cross between a squashed skunk and a burning tyre.
There is a bunch of what you would call "hoodies" smoking something that smells like that next to the church where I walk the dog at night. They seem to be OK lads actually. They always say hello now after I shouted "That suff Bananarama! stinks! Get some decent dope for christs sake" at them the other week.

There speaks the voice of experience

Until dealers killed one of my best mates.

Never touched the stuff since. I never paid for it even once in my life (that I can remember) but I won't put money in their pockets even indirectly by smoking someone elses.

Sorry to report folks- my car has started rusting

It's already been said Gibbs isn't a miracle cure, but I'm still disappointed.
To be fair, it has held rust at bay for several weeks on a bare 40-year old body in a damp, draughty garage, which is a little bit miraculous!

This means I will have to paint the car fairly soon which is a damn shame cos everyone who's seen it in the bare-nekked has given it big compliments.

Try a coat of red oxide primer and then the gibbs. Might see you through the winter that way?

Dave81 · Post by **Dave81** » Fri Dec 14, 12 12:15 pm

I know its not the answer but could you not just clean the car back to metal again and clear laquer the whole thing?

Couple of cans from halfrauds should do it!

fish oil

stinks

but works

made from fish guts

dust and stuff tends to stick

on a more sensible note i had a chat with Kev the soda blaster at the nats

and he says the slightly alkaline coating left by soda blasting keeps rust at bay for a few weeks

that + gibbs might be the answer, see you through to spring higher temps means water won't lie on it for as long and you are good to next september
