History of Gibbs Brand lubricant

Paul Gibbs was a prototype engineer, worked with a variety of chemicals and gained years of knowledge during his years in the plating industry. Later in his career, in 1969 as a professional Harley Davidson rebuilder he developed a multi-surface conditioned that would revolutionize the chemical industry: A penetrant designed to be used in the marine, automotive and motorcycle industries.

Because the product he perfected contained none of the chemicals that the competitive market utilized, Paul was able to get the product patented in the USA. After intense testing Gibbs Brand Penetrant became the first patented product of its kind.

Its unique formula replaces several products as a cleaner, penetrant, corrosion inhibitor, waterproofer, and lubricant.
