Pulp, that is a very good link. I have first hand experience with running tests just like this from when I was in aerospace and he isn't kidding when he says it's an extreme test. I ran an even worse test in that had a 5% salt solution in the cabinet, but other than that it was basically identical. The one thing that makes me wonder about this link is on the wax specimens. His application of the wax was a little weird and the specimens weren't polished near enough. Wax works well on very highly polished surfaces on the order of sanding with up to 2500 grit (minimum) and then polishing with something like flitz. The surface of those weren't near smooth enough to get an uninterrupted wax film on the surface for protection. But other than that I think he probably did a very good and objective test.
The Eezox results didn't surprise me, it's good stuff for corrosion. But the Ballistol I have to admit did surprise me, it looked just as good! I like that as I've just started using it quite a bit. I guess I'll keep using it since I don't have to worry about it jacking up the finish on the wood of Dad's and Grandad's old shotguns.
