Default Penetrating oil/fluid.

I am looking for a penetrating oil/fluid as planning a bit work on the car in coming weeks and is always a handy thing to have around the garage to help aid bolt removal/general maintenance.

Was just wondering what are other peoples preferences/recommendation?

Thanks in advance.

Liam

I use plusgas. Word around the interwebs is it's decent and Eurocarparts sell it.

I had bought and used the one they sell in B&Q. Seems to work, but there may be better brands.

+1 for Plusgas too - although recently someone recommended the WD-40 Fast Release Penetrant https://tizaro.com/wd40sp-penetrant-400ml.html not tried it yet, but you can pick it up from Halfrauds if you are having trouble finding Plusgas

I've bought it from ebay and Eurocarparts in the past.

Or if you feel like knocking up a home brew I've read that acetone mixed with either diesel or ATF is miles more effective than anything you can buy
