The INOX team is proud to say our products have thousands of uses, and we stand by that. Our lubricants stop squeaks and keeps machinery and tools operating smoothly, but there are plenty of other uses which you may not have considered. A can of INOX is the perfect tool to help you tackle even the most unusual, or tough, cleaning and maintenance jobs. 

Our customers have shared some interesting stories about what they’ve used INOX for and in each instance, our product has helped. Here are some ideas on what a can of INOX can help you with: 

Hobby Toys

Slot cars, model trains, remote control cars! These hobby toys all have small and sometimes delicate machinery to look after. Our product is a great way to lubricate joints and gears without gunking any of the finer pieces. INOX protects your model kits from rust and is great for anything that uses rails. Our product offers smooth movement on rails and tracks and is also the perfect product for cleaning them.

If you have kids with lego around the house you’ve probably been asked to separate a stubbornly stuck pair of bricks. If you’ve twisted, pulled and even bit the bricks to separate them and it still didn’t work, try dabbing INOX between the crack with a cotton tip and try again.

Separating Glasses

If you’ve stacked two glass cups on top of each other and now they’re stuck, don’t risk injury by brute-forcing it. Spray some MX3FG and wait for it to seep between the cups and then separate them easily. If you’re the impatient type, use our products with injector bottles to get into the hard to reach places.

Hair Clippers

A few drops of our MX5 or MX3FG injector bottles are perfect to lubricate trimmers and help clean out hair that’s become trapped. You only need a minimal application to get your trimmers humming like it’s brand new.

Sticky Stains

From chewing gum to splattered bugs, a scrub with our oil lubricant removes the stickiest of substances. If you have little kids running around the house, chances are you’re used to finding food stuck in places you never even imagined were reachable. Not to mention the tiny fingerprints that seem to find their way onto everything. 

Apply our quality oil lubricant, and those sticky substances have a much harder time to adhere to the surface, making it easy for you to pick off the remainder. Our clients have used our product to quickly clean up stubborn stickers, gum and the bugs splattered on their bumper bars. 

Firearms 

A low-quality lubricant will clog up your firearm. INOX’s range of lubricants is the perfect way to keep your firearm in peak performance; even during those long periods where it’s stored in a safe. We have options for rifles, handguns and even black powder loaders, like antique muskets or a blunderbuss. Moreso, our INOX MX3 or LANOX MX4 products do not stain any plastic or timber stocks. 

Leather 

Protect your leather goods with a spray of LANOX-MX4. The lubricant is made from Lanolin, a natural wax found in animal wool. It is a natural way to waterproof your leather items and adds a protective layer on top. Apply to a new pair of boots and make stiff leather softer (and less likely to cause blisters).

Removing & Preventing Oxidation 

Rust is a massive problem for coastal areas, especially for vehicles which often visit the beach. It is easier to prevent oxidation than removing it – that’s where INOX can help. A polish with a non-abrasive cloth protects and buffs metals like stainless steel, copper, aluminium, steel and even precious metals like gold and silver. 

A coat on your metal items like BBQ’s, golf clubs, locks, door handles and hinges will give a protective layer for longer-lasting performance. If the damage is already done, a spray with our lubricant loosens the bond between rust and metal. Allow the spray to soak for a while and come back to wipe away the surface oxidation.

Protection From The Elements

If your pool fence looks dry and dusty from enduring the scorching Australian heat, it’s a sign of weathering. The same goes for roller doors, mailboxes and any outside metal structures. If left unattended, it could result in structural damage and costly repairs.  Regular application of INOX will rejuvenate the oils and moisture to the powder coating and bring back a beautiful shine.
