I am posting this in Maintenance and Repair Section because by my logic it is preventive maintenance against rust.
In an effort to stop the damage of what rust in the Rust Belt can do to our vehicles - I did some research on Texaco Rust Proof Compound L. This product remains a grease and stops rust and has great testimonials of people in Michigan who have used this on many cars over the years that they kept a long time and racked up the miles on.
After going to the Texaco/Chevron website and making phone calls to the Company and getting transferred to different areas without any luck. I wrote a letter to the CEO of the Company and an Chevron Lubrication Engineer gave me a call at home. Chevron made a business decision to stop selling the product 2 years ago. After talking to the Lubrication Engineer he checked and found a Michigan company called Chemtool that sells Texaco Rust Proof Compound L (which is identified under Chemtool as MPT-L) to two different rust proofing companies in Michigan.
The two locations in Michigan are:
