Overview of the Break Free Collector Long-Term Protectant Storage Wipes | 1220418
Long-Term CLP Storage Protection
Break Free Collector Long-Term Protectant storage wipes help you clean, lubricate, and protect metal surfaces before long-term storage. You get a simple way to reduce rust risk after a gun cleaning session, especially in humid storage areas. Break Free Collector Long-Term Protectant wipes (MPN 1220418) were developed for military use and exceed stringent military specifications.
Proven Corrosion Resistance, No Waxy Buildup
Collector is designed to protect firearms for up to five years in storage. In testing, Collector-protected mild steel panels provided over 1,200 hours of rust and corrosion protection in 100 percent humidity and constant 120-degree temperatures. The advanced formulation resists fingerprint residue and will not break down or form a waxy residue under heat or pressure, unlike many storage products.
Easy, Clean Application
Each container includes 20 pre-saturated non-woven cloth wipes, each 6.75" x 3". The dark travel-size case has an easy-access flip-top lid (image verified) so you can pull a wipe quickly without messy oils, cleaners, or cut cloths. Collector is ideal for occasional hunters, sports shooters, knife and sword collectors, and seasonal sports equipment before storage.
