I was in the Navy for 26 years, most of it shipboard.

I saw all manner of lubes and sealers used but nothing worked better than
Preparation H.

You have to use the water soluble salve, not the creme.

Try it.

I use it on my saw tops and other tools.

I have to constantly use scotch brite pads on my 2 bosch router bodies to
get rid of the oxidation, so that they will move in their bases.

Bosch even replaced one router when it would no longer move.

Anyone have a solution to the oxidation problem with these magnesium
cases. Seems like they should have coated them.

I have tried wd40, and wax.. I know (wax was a bad idea) but I needed to
spend more time working and less cleaning.

This is not a humid env, it is a material problem from what the Bosch
service guy told me.

Anyone come up with a way of preventing the oxidation?
