50/50 mix of ATF + Acetone, and it far outperformed the likes of PB Blaster/etc.

Cool stuff. Looks like I'll be picking up some Liquid Wrench if I ever run out of PB.
(Cheap, not a mess or pain like making my own solvent, and above average performance)

I agree Mike. I too found it interesting that LW had better results than PB.
I have some ATF and some Acetone already though, so I'm going to put it into a spray bottle and see how it does. Don't know it's shelf life or what it'll do to a spray bottle's guts. TBD. Fortunately, I've worked through most of the "@#$@#$ rust!" problems on my projects...

I KNOW you have worked with ATF and Acetone, do you really want to be spraying that crap? Smells bad enough/gets everywhere even when I am trying to contain it, never the less spray it! :lol:

Interesting! My favorite penetrating oil is Zep 45. It's the only thing we use at work because, frankly, its the only thing that works.

YOU'RE WRONG. See those results? Zep 45 = unranked. Getchoo some ATF, son!

Pretty sure I need to try that out, actually. It'd be pretty sweet if the ATF/acetone worked better than the expensive crap we buy.

ugh....Id take it with a grain of salt.
its effectively impossible to do a controlled, repeatable test of something as uncontrollable as level of rust on a fastener.

I kind of thought the same thing. I'd still like to do my own experimentation with ATF/acetone though.
