I know this oil since my military service, ie the mid-70s. Over time Ballistol has worked for me developed from a pure gun oil on all occasions with ingenious uses. Whether equipment Pfleger, Pilzbeseitiger on trees, care oil for garden furniture or detergents, it is suitable for all. Even a completely dull the paint that have become her all-poly horse trailer shines after a treatment with Ballistol again in an almost new outfit. And our Dachshund has velvety paws. :) Rarely experienced such an excellent product.
