It's similar to medicine - if it is not nasty it won't help !!!

Kroil and PB are both very good, after I spray a bolt I wrap one or two paper towels around the sprayed area and spray some more PB on/under the paper towel... trying to keep a moist environment.... can't say if it's necessary but it won't hurt....

Eastwood also carries it. I found Kano Kroil worked faster than PB Blaster. I did a test on my trailing arm bushings last month. Soaked one with PB..the other with Kroil at least 4 times each day. Kroil worked in two days....Pb took three.
