"Practical Sailor" is a Consumer Reports type magazine for sailors. In 2007
they tested corrosion inhibitors, and they included all those that have been
mentioned so far. I found the article interesting:
http://www.tc-11.com/Marine%20Electronics%20Test.pdf
It's on the TC-11 website because TC-11 had the highest rating... but it's
worth reading to see how they did the testing. (And I've never tried
TC-11.)
