Anyone have experience with Boeshield T-9® rust protectant

[TexasProgresive]

With El Nino I have been riding in wet conditions. I first noticed surface rust on the stem Allen bolts. Yesterday I saw it on all the bolts. I had treated the stem bolts with R.I.G. (rust inhibiting grease) and have now used it on every bolt I can find. The problem with R.I.G. is that it will wash away in heavy rain.

One of my local shops sells this T-9 product which has good reviews. It was developed for/by Boeing to prevent corrosion. Their website suggests using it on:

Drive Chains
Derailleurs
Control Cables
Brake Cables
Shift Cables
Caliper Pivots
Pedal Pivots
Seat Posts
Spoke Nipples
Inside Frames

T-9 flushes out dirt and old lubricants, displaces moisture and penetrates moving parts in between the rollers and pins on drive chains, carrying the paraffin formula deep into these areas and coating them thoroughly. T-9 dries to a clean, continuous wax film that performs better than Teflon and lasts up to 200 miles without picking up dust, dirt or mud.


Reaches deeper. T-9 stays liquid long enough to permeate metal crevices and seep deep inside assembled components to leave a durable protective coating that lubricates and protects—all without dismantling your equipment.

Completely waterproof. T-9 dries to a clean, waxy, waterproof film that won’t wash off in rain, puddles or mud. You can rinse away sand, dust and grime with water, while leaving the lubricant intact.

One step to long-term protection. Apply T-9 to any metal surface and let it dry. One simple step gives you a thin, penetrating film of durable, waterproof protection and lubrication that endures, month after month, mile after mile.

1. It's supposed to be one of the best...

...bicycle lubricants available. It has worked well for me, but, to be sure, if it has worked better than another brand, I am not sophisticated enough to know the difference.
HOWEVER, I do not know how environmentally friendly it is!!!.
There are some bicycle lubricants that are biodegradable. Just as an example (and there are other biodegradable lubricants) one could consider Rohloff Biodegrable Chain Lubricant:

2. A highly regarded lubricant, but excessive in its claims:

"...waterproof protection and lubrication that endures, month after month, mile after mile."

The rain will eventually wash it off (I believe); it doesn't stay on the chain forever

Another biodegradable lubricant is from the company Nix Frix Shun and is NFS+
