[QUOTE="Bill Koonce, post: 934447, member: 68938"] I don't know if Z-Max has any merit, but I do know about the capillary effect. If they poured Z-Max onto a highly polished block of steel, and you could still see it soak into the metal, then that would be a totally different matter. But letting liquids fill up voids in mostly void-filled surfaces is going to make the liquid stand out, and has absolutely nothing with the metal "absorbing" (it doesn't) Z-Max. It's a stunt. That doesn't necessarily mean that Z-Max is snake oil, but it doesn't make a legitimate case for Z-Max either. The bottom line is that small molecules do fit in small spaces, but they also are volatile and will enter the atmosphere rather than stay stuck to your metal bearing surfaces. There's no such thing as a free lunch, folks. [/QUOTE]
