Yep, Calyx is a good quick fix, and it does work and look good. The little jar goes a loooong way also. But I would agree with Grigg, there is no substitute for a ceramic coating. I’ve found that although a Calyx treated casting won’t rust from the moisture in the air like a bare casting will, it really doesn’t completely seal the surface and if you do get water splashed on the casting like from washing or rain, it will rust up thru the Calyx. And as mentioned it does rub off like antiseeze, my guess is that it is just graphite suspended in some high temp tolerant solution.
