Boeshield T-9 March 29, 2017, 04:38:57 pm I noticed that the aluminum "knuckles" on the new awning were beginning to develop white spots and film, indicating the start of corrosion. Boeshield T-9 has been recommended as a preventive measure; what are the opinions of those who have used this product on aluminum and/or on other metals?RV & Trailer Uses | Boeshield T-9®

It was developed for maintaining aluminum aircraft, giving the metal a paraffin coating, to prevent corrosion. It creeps into hidden spots, sealing it from moisture.At an airport, cans of it were often seen in the aircraft maintenance bays.

Re: Boeshield T-9 Reply #6 – March 30, 2017, 12:57:18 am Ditto. I 'found' boeshield and starting using it on my bike chains a few years ago. Now I have a spray can in the RV. I use it in the outside compartment lock tumblers and on the step (among other places).Rich'03 MB in NC
