I'm more interested in how well a CLP lubes and handles heat, evaporation, things like that, than I am on how well they protect mild steel or crap HW store nails sprayed with salt water and left outside to rust. The backyard tests are interetsing, but let's not get wrapped around the axle over which one protects the mild steel the best.
