Sun Block from the 'horse's mouth'!
Yahoo Message Number: 109794
First of all, CorrosionX Aviation is what meets/exceeds the Mil spec. Not the SunBlock product. Next, the mil spec is for protection of Aircraft Airframes (which are made of aluminum and magnesium.) some of the most easily corrosive metals around. Please see attachments to this email for more info. And yes, there have been independent tests done, and again passed all tests.
 I have no experience with Aerospace 303, so I cannot give an opinion. I personally have used both ACF-50 and CorrosionX Aviation, and both will work. The CorrosionX Aviation lasts longer, but the ACF-50 smells better!!
 I hope this fully answers your question. If you need anything else, feel free to email.

 The MSDS sheets show that both of these products contain hydrocarbons.
Tire manufacturers recommend not using any hydrocarbons on tire sidewalls.
A review of the literature on both of these products shows no mention of them being recommended for use on tires or rubber.
Both of these products are intended to prevent metal corrosion in aircraft, not the oxidation of rubber.

 I have it on good authority that in a warranty dispute the manufacturer/dealer will use a litmus paper to determine if a compound containing a petroleum product has been applied to the tire/s. If it's found to be true, they may well deny the warranty claim.
