read the test results, and test methods, but heres the three best products, which offered noticeably longer protection from rust forming, amazingly of the 46 products tested many were almost worthless at providing corrosion protection, even some common, big name products

btw theres bound too be guys that had firearms in gun safes, that were submerged in raising water during local flooding, after several recent hurricane s like ANDREW,WILMA,SANDY,KATRINA,HARVEY,
that will need to clean and oil and hopefully prevent or at least reduce water damage.
(I hope you store guns with a good coat of oil on all internal and external,surfaces, the and occasionally respray and clean bores and exterior,metal surfaces)
a good quality safe has rubber, or synthetic door gasket , air tight seals on the door and the weight of water against the safe door should in theory help seal the door preventing water entering the safe,
and yes I'm 100% sure most of them failed to completely seal and remain 100% water tight if the safe was under water.
I would get the safe open as soon as you can and disassemble and carefully clean every firearm as soon as you can and take clear detailed pictures of every gun for insurance estimates
(IDEALLY YOU DID HAVE NRA gun INSURANCE DIDN,T YOU???(IDEALLY YOU DID HAVE HOME OWNERS FIREARMS gun INSURANCE that covers FIRE THEFT AND FLOOD DAMAGE , DIDN,T YOU???), and you read and fully understand the exceptions and exclusions so if you need to file any claims so they can,t deny coverage, ) ) if you did not it might be a good reason to buy some in the future along with a high quality replacement water and air tight replacement gun safe and for you too use a water tight sealant on and bolt holes in the safe you used to add security bolts into the floor slab, and its always a good idea to use a skirt of expanding water proof foam around the safe's base perimeter, as a primary moisture barrier.

that was a really neat experiment, or series of experiments... good breakdown of what each product does best so we know when to use what given the application and the conditions
 

Back on February 23, 2014 I started a test, although NOT nearly as extensive.
I had read on one of the automotive websites that they liked Boeshield T-9, so
I bought some.

I ground the surface with a rolloc 36 grit and then cleaned it with 91% alcohol
and set it outside facing west. It was sitting on top of my smoker under the
soffit of the house, so not protected at all. Below are pics at one month and
then 2 months +2 weeks.
