Rust on Shocks

Yea I was wondering that too. I've got oil and WD-40 all over my C/Os. The mavcoat worked pretty good on my smooth body shocks though and I just cleaned them with soap and water.

 

Same here trying to dial in the height. Wasn't sure if i should try to break down the wd40 before spraying it on

 

Last winter I ended up coating them in wd-40 to prevent rust becuase they already had a lot on them. Worked fine I guess. Not rust but not ideal. I bet you could still spray it on there. It may not look pretty though. I'm just waiting until I rebuild mine to clean them and out the mavcoat on.
The mavcoat seems pretty tacky when you first spray it on so it may work on the wd-40.

 

Sexytaco right on thanks

 

Sorry I couldn't help. Let me know how it goes

 

No worries will do

 

WD-40 will cause problems with rubber components later on so I would avoid.

 

Sprayed down all of the new components with this stuff.

 

Mild soap and water and soft brush. Then make sure they are dry before applying the MavCoat. Maybe hit them with the leaf blower.

 

Cool thanks for the reply @YotaDan

 

I took my bottle of liquid frog lube and rubbed the shock bodies and exposed parts before installing. I usually add to exposed metal on my old truck and it seems to work. This stuff is made for weapons and smells kinda minty.
