Ok, I have sanded, cleaned and sprayed the test pieces. I cleaned them with Auto Zone brand brake cleaner. I wanted to use something readily available and that would evaporate quickly. The first thing I notice was of course the rust colored tint to the Amsoil MPHD when applied, it is pretty thick. It actually makes me have my doubts about a "Clear" finish when hardened, but we'll see.
The LPS3 sprayed on in a foamy yellowish film that took a good bit before the foamy texture to smooth. The smell is a little less intense than the Amsoil and ACF-50 with a kind of sweet smell.
The ACF-50 sprayed on in a smooth liquid texture like the Amsoil but with a slight purple tint that cleared almost completely within about ten minutes. Just from what I have seen so far, I would bet that the ACF-50 would wind up being the product of choice for protecting chrome or anything you want to shine nice a pretty. But, I could be proven wrong if the other two clear completely as they cure. We'll see.
They are curing in my little shop where the inside temp is hovering around 75*. We'll see how long the curing process takes. Stay tuned...
