Im on a local car board and someone was asking how to keep their new coilovers in good shape through the winter. People suggested grease and things like that but I thought that might collect too much dirt adn it would deffinatly be a pain to clean in the spring.
I remembered a wax i used to melt and submerge my mtn bike chain in. It never picked up dirt and it was a lot cleaner overall. Turns out you can get the same stuff in an aerosol can for ATVs. Hope this helps out a few of you

what is this stuff called and where can you get it?

 

The shock bodies can get quite hot during use - can this wax hold up under such heat? Not sure how much heat a bike chain sees, I'm not familiar with bikes.

 

I use Krown penetrating oil on them. It eventually dries, and still looks clean because its clear. My G/C's have been okay through the dirt and grime.

 

You can always try those cans of WD-40 with the "fogger" nozzle. They were made to coat large areas for protection...
