    Old clocks
    Liquid Rescue is outstanding for restoring old clocks that have mysteriously stopped running. Most often the only thing that has happened is that the old petroleum-based oil or grease that was used years ago to lubricate the clock has become sticky and gummy over time and is now actually preventing it from moving freely! A single application of Liquid Rescue to the pivot points, bearings, bushings, and gears is usually all it takes to get old clocks running like new again. No pre-cleaning of your clocks is required before applying Liquid Rescue. Once your clock has been lubricated with Liquid Rescue, it will never stop because the oil became gummy with age, since our oil never deteriorates in composition from aging.
    We have received hundreds of emails from delighted clock owners who have restored a treasured old clock using nothing but a few drops of Liquid Rescue! Please view our “testimonials” page to read about some of their experiences with Liquid Rescue, and why they will never use anything else for their clocks!

    Model trains & railroads

  • Sluggish locomotives come back to life immediately
  • Rolling stock axles are freed making them easier to pull
  • Locos run with noticeably less power, run better at super-slow speeds
  • Perfect for all gauges of model railroad
  • Safe for all plastics used in gears, bushings, etc, and all paint finishes
  • Superior long-term storage properties when mothballing your trains!
  • Essentially odor-free so hands don’t smell, locos don’t smell when hot
  • For all of your model railroading needs, Liquid Rescue is simply the superior choice for quality lubrication and corrosion prevention. When all of your rolling stock have been oiled with it, you can pull noticeably longer trains with more cars than before. All of your locos will run quieter and smoother, and require a lower setting on the throttle to get the same speed as before. Your engines will pull significantly less current from your power supply, which causes both to run cooler than before. You will find that your locos also will run much smoother at extremely slow speeds without stalling and humming!
    Various types of train
    When you put your trains into storage for the season, cars and locos lubricated with Liquid Rescue will roll exactly the same 6 months or 6 years later when you take them out again! There is no more having to coax your engines to run after a long storage in a box, which is always the result with sticky petro-oils. Lubrication with Liquid Rescue isn’t even required every season, many cars and engines go for years running fine without needing re-application! Please read our Testimonials Page for the opinions of train lovers who have already used Liquid Rescue. We hope we can soon add your voice to the chorus of delighted customers who love it and won’t ever be satisfied with anything else.

    Rifles, handguns, shotguns

  • For rifles, shotguns, revolvers, automatics, any gun
  • Makes slides and mating surfaces operate smoothly on automatics
  • Cylinders, triggers, and hammers move more easily on revolvers
  • Superior temperature performance for hot guns from rapid-firing
  • Absolutely no gumming when hunting in extreme cold, smooth as silk!
  • Essentially scentless, no oil smell on your hands or firearm!
  • Total corrosion prevention on blued, nickel, or any firearm finish
  • Liquid Rescue is the superior oil in all 3 of the characteristics that are critical for your firearms: It has the best lubricating properties of any oil available, it has the widest operating temperature range of any gun oil, and it prevents corrosion on metal surfaces better than any other product. In addition to being essentially scentless, it offers everything you need in a gun oil.
    Various types of guns
    When you put your guns in storage for the season and take them back out months later, you will be amazed that there is no sticky or gummy feeling to the guns’ action. Since Liquid Rescue does not evaporate, it stays on stored surfaces essentially forever. Stored firearms come out of the cabinet ready to be used, instead of needing to be cleaned again as is the case with petro-oils.
    If you hunt in cold climates or ever rapid-fire your weapon, you will be especially appreciative of Liquid Rescue performance in temperature extremes. For cold hunting, your weapon will stay silky smooth at even 50 degrees below zero F, when petro-oils are becoming solids and causing loading and ejection issues for automatic firearms. If you love rapid-fire, you know the intense heat that can be created in a matter of seconds with some high-powered firearms. Liquid Rescue maintains its molecular integrity beyond 400 degrees F, and performs flawlessly where petro-oils have literally burned away and left behind only odorous residue deposits.

    Fishing reels

  • Excellent for spinning, casting, trolling, fly, any reel!
  • Casting reels cast much further, bails on spinning reels pivot easier
  • All types of reels crank easier and are noticeably quieter
  • Complete corrosion control for saltwater and freshwater reels

Toss the oil and grease that came with your reels and find out what the most modern synthetic oil ever made can do for your reels. Silky smooth cranking, longer casts for revolving spools, bails that close effortlessly, level winds that glide as if on butter, these are the things to expect from a reel lubricated with Liquid Rescue.
    Various types of fishing gears
    Beyond just lubrication, if you fish in salt or fresh water you will fully appreciate the superior corrosion protection of Liquid Rescue. Reels retain their free movement for extended periods of time, so it is only necessary to re-oil at much longer intervals than with conventional oils. On exposed metal surfaces the protection lasts longer than any other product because Liquid Rescue sheets out to an ultra-thin layer which clings fiercely to the metal surface and does not evaporate. Please read our Testimonials Page for the opinions of fishermen who have already used Liquid Rescue. We hope you will consider joining the thousands of delighted customers who have come to love Liquid Rescue.

    Wristwatches, pocket watches

  • The ultimate synthetic oil for precision watches
  • Excellent for antique, vintage, and modern watches
  • Restores sticky watch movements immediately, no pre-cleaning
  • Makes the stem easy to turn again when winding and setting
  • Stainless needle allows precise placement of small amounts
  • No smell of oil from your hands or timepiece after using
  • The primary reason that watches stop operating or run slowly is that the petroleum-based oils and greases that were used to lubricate them harden and become gummy over time. It is ironic that many professional watch repairers still use the same petro-based oils that they just finished cleaning off a non-running watch, guaranteeing that they will have to repeat the cleaning in a few years!
    Various types of watches
    Liquid Rescue will never harden or become sticky, and it will also penetrate and dissolve the gummy deposits of hardened petro-oil and displace them without pre-cleaning. This is often the only action needed to get a slow or non-functioning watch running like new again!

    Fixed-blade knives, folding knives, multi-tools

  • The ultimate in rust and corrosion prevention for fixed blade
  • Frees sticky folding and spring-assisted knife blades
  • Stays wetted indefinitely because it doesn’t evaporate
  • Lasts an extremely long time without the need for re-oiling
  • No oil smell on your hands or sheath
  • Knives are one of the most difficult items to keep properly lubricated because of their very nature. Top-quality knives have blades that are high in Carbon content, which is necessary for the sharpest cutting surfaces and the best durability in maintaining that edge. Unfortunately the Carbon also causes knife blades to rust with astounding speed, often appearing just hours after using the knife or even just touching the blade.
    Various types of knife
    Petroleum-based oils work acceptably for a short while to cover the metal surface and keep Oxygen from reaching the Carbon, but it doesn’t last for long. Components in the petro-oil quickly evaporate, and leave a sticky residue that offers little corrosion prevention and no lubrication.
    Liquid Rescue sheets out to an ultra-thin layer on your knife blades. It does not evaporate, so it maintains that “wet” look for long periods of time, while keeping your blade safe from any corrosion. It will never become sticky or gummy, and seldom needs to be re-applied. It is simply far superior to all other oils at preventing rust on a knife blade, and keeping folding knives operating smoothly!

    Slot cars, R/C cars, vintage toys

  • The ULTIMATE lubricant for all scales of slot cars
  • Makes vintage and modern cars noticeably faster
  • Completely safe for all plastics and paint finishes
  • Gears mesh better and run quieter
  • Frees sticky motors, bearings, and bushings immediately
  • No smell of oil when motors get hot from extended racing
  • Superior long-term properties when putting cars into storage
  • Slot cars from HO scale to 1/24 will run noticeably faster once oiled with Liquid Rescue. When racing at a track, it is critical that your car start the in optimal condition. When petroleum-based oils are used on a slot car, they break down during races when the car gets very hot, and then become gummy and harden when the car cools off later. When you start another race a few days later, if you haven’t fully warmed up your car prior to the race, it will begin noticeably slower and then get slowly faster as the race progresses. This lag time can cost you a race.
    Various types of toy cars
    When you lubricate your cars with Liquid Rescue, the notion of gummed up cars becomes a thing of the past. Even if your car has been sitting for months, it will move effortlessly from the first moment you start it. There is no need to pre-clean and try to remove any old oil before using Liquid Rescue, simply apply it and watch your car’s speed immediately increase!
    When learning a new track, it is critical that your car behave consistently, so you can quickly get the feel of its limits on a given lane. With petro-based oils, your cars will always start hesitantly and then warm up and run somewhat better, which leaves you searching around for the true best speed until the car is fully warmed up. With Liquid Rescue, your cars will be at optimum performance at all times, ready to race competitively at a moment’s notice! If you try it you will see what a difference it can make for your cars.
    For all R/C applications, the same principles apply. Gummy petro-oil not only impedes the movement of the mechanisms, it also attracts and retains dirt and other contaminants from the ground or race track. Once the oil has cooled again, the dirt is literally lodged into a greasy mess, which is a major cleaning headache.
    With Liquid Rescue, it sheets out to an ultra-thin layer that does not attract or retain dirt because of its unique surface tension fiercely adhering it to the metal. It is simply the superior lubricant for R/C applications.
    For all vintage toys and other items around the house, Liquid Rescue can undo years of rust or old petro-oils. It is the best lubricant and corrosion preventive available today, please try some!

    Typewriters

  • Excellent for all vintage and modern typewriters
  • Loosens sticky keys and levers

  • Makes all typewriters smoother, quieter, easier to type
  • No pre-cleaning of old oil required, simply apply directly
  • No oil smell coming from your typewriter
  • Superior long-term properties for long periods between usage
    Liquid Rescue is the best oil for all typewriters, vintage and modern. It works equally well in mechanical and electric models, and makes both faster and easier to type.
    Various types of Typewriters
    When there are long periods between uses of a typewriter, if it has been previously oiled with petroleum-based oils, the keys, typebars, platen, return arm, will all be sticky and hesitant to move at first. It may slowly ease up once the mechanisms are exercised a few times, but it will always revert to the gummy mode once it is left untouched again for a while.
    In a typewriter oiled with Liquid Rescue, when it is touched after months or years in storage, the keys will move smoothly, the carriage will glide like it is buttered, the ribbon spools will rotate freely, and there will not be any sticky or sluggish components. No pre-cleaning is required before using Liquid Rescue, just apply it and enjoy the marvelous difference immediately!

    Sewing machines, sergers, embroidery machines

  • Best lubricant for all sewing machines, sergers, embroidery machines

    No more having to coax a machine to run after months without use
    Liquid Rescue is the superior lubricant for all sewing machines, vintage and modern. It makes the machine quieter and smoother to operate, and it will never become gummy like petroleum-based oils do.
    Various types of Sewing machines
    It is common to have long periods of time between uses of a sewing machine, and if it has previously been oiled with petro-oils, it will be sticky and hesitant to operate smoothly when you first try it. As it warms up and is exercised it will slowly become more free-moving, but it will revert to the gummy feeling again as soon as it cools.
    Conversely when you oil your sewing machine with Liquid Rescue, it will come out of storage each time feeling silky smooth and ready to go at a moment’s notice! It will run smoothly at ultra-slow speeds without stalling, which makes sewing so much more pleasurable! Please try some to bring out the optimum performance in your fine machine!

    Tools

  • Pliers, adjustable wrenches, cutters, stay free-moving for years
  • Rust is prevented on all metal surfaces for extended periods
  • Loosens sticky tools immediately, no pre-cleaning necessary
  • Superior for tools that sit in storage a long time between uses
  • Good for hand tools and power tools alike
  • Everyone has tools that they keep and use from time to time. Avid mechanics tend to keep their tools in good shape because they use them all the time. However many homeowners only touch their tools when something needs attention, and then the tools need to work at that moment. If tools have been previously lubricated with petroleum-based oils, they will be sticky and resistant to moving freely when they are picked up after months of storage. They may slowly start to move more freely once exercised a few times, but they never achieve their full range of motion and they can be a pain to use.
    Tools
    Tools that have been lubricated with Liquid Rescue behave quite differently. If you oil a pliers, diagonal cutter, or adjustable wrench, and put it down and leave it, you can come back months or years later and it will still feel the same free-moving way. Liquid Rescue does not evaporate, so it essentially never goes away on stored items, which is what tools usually are. It also is superior for prevention of rust on these same tools, because it sheets out into an ultra-thin layer which clings strongly to the metal. Please try some Liquid Rescue for all of your tools to keep them working perfectly for years!

    Skateboard and Rollerblades
    When you oil your skates or board with Liquid Rescue, it immediately penetrates and dissolves the gummy old petro-oil and lubricates your bearings in a way you have never experienced.
