I have been using this product for many different applications and the results are non invasive and very successful on all metal parts.

I thought I would give cleaning the tape head a crack and guess what it came out super shiny and clean, the Audio Improvement was noticeable. If you look at the tape head and has tiny lumps of corrosion in the tape transport path this will limit to contact area and reduce the pickup quality. Give it a rub with a rag or Cotton tip with this gear smeared on it and will remove this corrosion leaving a smooth surface. Works well on the Capstan Shaft as well.

This also works on other metal and metal plated parts like plastic.

Based on an industrial pickling agent formulation, Autosol Metal Life Saver contains corrosion inhibitors to control the cleaning action.

Just wipe on and wipe off to remove blueing and corrosion from most metal surfaces.
  • Trusted Autosol performance and reliability
  • Wipe-on, wipe-off convenience
  • Removes blueing and staining from most metals
  • Corrosion inhibitors control powerful cleaning action
  • Industrial pickling agent technology in a safe and handy DIY formulation
