LPS-3 is nothing like Cosmoline. Cosmoline provides more of less

so difficult to remove.

Not so with LPS-3. I sold a 25 lbs jar of Cosmoline recently.

LPS-3 is good for a year or two in the sun and rain. I spray it on
galvanized roofing and the exposed welds on my trailer. Once a thin
rust or zinc oxide film has formed it holds the LPS-3.


For me, it was good for 6 months. Yes, it does work pretty well.

There is also LPS hardcoat. lasts longer, leaves a wax more like a not
sticky cosmoline. supposed to last ten years inside. I'm still
testing. get back to me in another nine years.
