I have used your UltraBlack SS Grease on many applications at various times and found it to perform very well.
Recently one of my sons called and asked if I still had the old boat trailer buried in the back 40. Of course, we only use the newer one. He proceeded to ask if I would tow it out to him over the 4th of July weekend when I come over. Sounds easy enough, it is only 345 miles across Michigan from my house to his. A few days later I took all the branches and junk off to see what I had to do. I needed to slide it out to look. I say slide because the wheels weren’t turning. Not having used it for a few years I decided to pull the wheels and check the bearings. Well rusted and frozen they were. Now it is a major decision time. I knew from what my son said the boat was going to be cleaned and put in the water for the summer. In the winter just block it up with a shrink wrap cover till next year. The trailer would never be used again. Can I make it if I don’t buy new bearings? I decided to clean them up and see what would happen. I took them off the axle, soaked them in paint thinner and hit them with a product called Blast (a rust penetrant) until they ran somewhat free. I then sanded the races cleaned them, boy were they pitted and the packed them with your UltraBlack SS grease. Seemed to work like a charm, not let’s see what will happen under load. I ran between 70 and 74 mph and got out and checked every time I stopped. They were warm in the beginning but the longer they ran the cooler they got. Long story short I made it. Had a problem backing the trailer where my son wanted it, so he disconnected and walked it back. Again, turned free enough that was no problem either. I will recommend your UltraBlack SS grease for all bearing uses.

After treating my son’s 1974 Honda ST90 (which is a 89cc four stroke engine) we saw a faster top end, and a quieter engine at idle. Top end was about 38mph with my light weight son on it now it will top out at about 41mph. Along with a quieter engine it also eliminated alot of engine vibration.
We have used microlon for everything. I use the oilers on my sewing machine which I purchased in 1987 and it sews like brand new and I use it on my serger. My husband has microloned every motorcycle we have owned, every car or van we have owned, in fact everything we have owned that has a motor including the lawn mowers. I don’t know how many people he has convinced to microlon their motorcycle or vehicle. We used to purchase from John Staudt in Los Angeles but we don’t get down there as much as we used to do. I have just ordered another kit for us and some more oilers. My husband keeps giving the oilers away to friends to try and then we don’t seem to get them back!
My husband became interested in Microlon due to an article he read many years ago in a car magazine that told the story of French engineers who tested your product and he was sold! We love it and wouldn’t do without it!
