What water displacement quality, if any, does RemOil have?
I ask because my AR and myself got wet thanks to a very heavy thunderstorm that came out of no where. For a quick field cleaning (with a flashlight and lightning as my only source of light) I shook the water out, patted it dry, and sprayed the barrel, upper, lower, and bolt carrier group with a new can of RemOil as it was the only thing I had available. I left the parts separated to dry out.
In the future will RemOil suffice for this type of situation or is having a can of WD40 necessary? We're talking a rare accident and not your typical outing.
The parkerizing/phosphating on my AR should be a good barrier against moisture as it had a fresh coating of oil on it when we got drenched.
