Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Washers
Great selection of fibre washers of various sizes as set out on the underside of the lid. I can't sat for sure that I'll never need to buy a fibre washer ever again - at some point I may need some size that wasn't included - but right now I feel I'm pretty well catered for, who knows maybe for the rest of my life.

XCP is right up there with ACF-50. XCF has the edge for long-lived survival in weather. Before XCF dries a bit, it can drip and get everywhere, which in some cases may be the intention. The layer is slightly dull, but does buff up, though for outdoor protection, it should be left as is. It still looks good! On first application, XCF is extremely penetrating. Of all the anti-rust water-displacing products tried, XCP seem to survive the longest in weather. ACF-50 is another excellent product. It works in a different way than XCP, in that there is internal electrolyte chemistry that takes out the rust mechanism. ACF-50 has a thinner layer that is still pretty tenacious! It also has a wide temperature high pressure lubrication ingredient. The grease can be used in wheel bearings. Extremists might go with ACF-50 and follow with XCF for the flexible cover layer. Wynn's Viscotene is a sticky-tacky stuff. It starts off as a oily fluid that rapidly becomes "sticky" and quite awkward to get off the hands. It is actually for indoor protection and storage, but seemed to do a good job over 9 months including winter on a trailor. Ambersil is sort of similar to Viscotene. Spray on and let the bubbles settle. The chemical in it is not at all OK if you get a whiff of it. Not actually a stink, but a choking chemical smell, and you probably should not experience it if you have asthma. WD40 is very well known. The major component seems to be kerosene, with some kind of wax added. It does displace water, but that is temporary. It does not last in weather! I use it for cleaning up stuff, but I would not use it for "rust protection". Rating these, I put XCF and ACF-50 together. Each has great properties, though different. XCF has the most durable "stay there" layer in weather. ACF-50 is a high tech aviation product with extreme penetration, chemistry and lubrication, and has a thinner layer. Subjectively, it lasts maybe 80% or so of the time XCF hangs in there. The comparison was none-scientific, (left side trailor wheel gets XCF, right side gets ACF-50) Next is Wynn's Viscotene. Good stuff, though sticky to use. Then Ambersil. Only rated for indoor use, but seemed to survive OK outside. More effective than WD40, but loses out because of the hydrocarbon chemical whiff. Finally WD40. It has it's place, and usefulness, and the whole world knows how well it works. The brand name is almost generic! In terms of rust protection effectiveness in weather, WD40 is not in the same league as XCF and ACF-50, and should not be compared, because what it does is different. Read full review

Very useful box of fibre washers all different sizes and good quality.

These washers are extremely thin and will not be that useful unless you use more than one at a time. They were good enough to get me out of trouble which is all I needed but don't confuse them with the more expensive washers.
