From their website...
----------------------------------------------------
Boeshield T-9® was developed and licensed by The Boeing Company to fill their need for a superior lubricant/protectant.

The formulation, based on a unique combination of solvents and waxes, is designed to penetrate metal pores and dissolve minor corrosion, then leave a resilient waxy coating that lasts for many months.

We began by successfully introducing Boeshield T-9® to the tough saltwater marine market for lubricating and protecting all metals. It works well on engines and deck hardware as well as electronics, batteries and wiring connections. It is non-conductive and will not cause short circuits.

For bicycle chains, T-9® has proven to be a tough, long lasting waterproof lubricant. Our sales keep growing every year despite many competitors.

On woodworking tool surfaces Boeshield T-9® recently topped all other surface treatments in Wood Magazine’s article on Rust Busters*. According to them: “Except for the section treated with Boeshield T-9® all sections have completely rusted over”. “There is only one choice for protectant as far as we’re concerned: Boeshield T-9®”.

We feel we have the best product of its type on the market. In fact, if you think you’ve found a better penetrating lubricant and protectant, let us know, and we will refund your purchase price.
-----------------------------------------------------
I think that the use of a "waterproof lubricant protectant" might be a little more that the instrument needs. A corrosion inhibitor can leave a film behind that turns gummy in friction contact areas (the waxy part...). As long as I don't leave the guitar out in the rain corrosion inhibitors are unnecessary.

As far as penetrating the metal pores your mileage may vary.

We used this stuff extensively as a rust prevention treatment inside tubes when I had my bicycle manufacturing company. Great stuff for that application but I wouldn't consider it for lube on something like a changer.

i think your all wrong about this, at least with respect to this product. ive been using it for 10 years or so and find it to be great on changers. never had any gumminess and find it takes considerable friction out of the system when used throughout. maybe other wax types have a problem with that but t9 doesnt in my experience. all the other lubes seem to collect grime and allow oxides to develop. this dont. used it on all different kinds of changers over long periods of time . btw they never mention 'corrosion inhibitors'. to each their own but its the best lube for steel ive ever used. i think the WAX stigma may not apply here.

Jeff Newman got me started on this and I've been using it on my guitars for years without a problem. Jeff swore by this lubricant.

This is one of those occasions where success testimonials can overcome the negative influence of related bad experiences.

Just don't use Brylcreme... or the greasy kid stuff...
