Gun Oil Film Test: Thin Coat on Bare Steel

GNP Defend Gun Oil was sprayed onto a clean, bare steel plate through the can's straw: one short spray, a dot and then a line. A fingertip spread it into a thin, even film. The film can be laid on as thick or as thin as you want it; a thin film is the right amount, and less is more. With the plate tilted, the film stayed where it was put and did not run off the metal. A film like this is what protects steel from rust and from water: the oil sheds water rather than letting it sit on the metal. GNP Defend Gun Degreaser was then sprayed over the oiled plate and washed the oil straight off it, the way a pressure hose would; a single wipe of the towel showed bare metal with no residue. The Degreaser washes off any oil or grease, not only GNP Defend's. The test was filmed by GNP Defend on its own plate with its own products; the video runs 33 seconds and shows the bare plate, the spray, the spread, the tilt, the degreaser washing the oil off and the wipe.
