rick77 14 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 I left my X-Jet connected to the gun after the first two uses. I disconnected it prior to the third use and noticed there was quite a bit of corrosion between the connections. It's obvious to me now that I need to take the X-Jet off of the gun after each use and dry it. Should I also put something like WD-40 on it to prevent corrosion? The corrosion makes the quick connect hard to disconnect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zero sign of corrosion after 7 hours of use yesterday. No need to rinse with acid, just a quick rinse with straight water. These stainless QC's are so much better than the brass QC's!
