I will buy this "FreeAll" product and test it. If it can free stuck Packard 12 water pump bolts then it is pretty darn good. Ditto anything stuck in aluminum.

All of these products work much better when left to soak for a week.

I have tried Kroil with results somewhat better than liquid wrench, except that Kroil is fantastic for lubricating cables, and any other fine lubrication. As a lubricant for sticky throttle and heater cables Kroil is the best product I have ever used.

I also think Kroil would be great for rust prevention. I would soak any post war rust bucket in the stuff.

PB blaster contains silicone and so don't tell anybody you are using it because they will blame you for their shoddy paintwork. Silicone will clean off with good prepsols like PPG DX440. However most body shop painters are slobs.

I worked in a place where they didn't have any silicone, but the paint department were a bunch of jerks. They blamed me for all their shoddy prep work. They said I was sabotaging everything with WD-40. I told them I didn't need to do anything besides leave them alone. Then the management started making trouble for me because they didn't want to look bad about hiring people I would have thrown out in five seconds. In the end they spent tens of thousands of dollars making trouble for me. It was stupid.

So don't tell anybody from a body shop that you use PB Blaster, Armour All, or anything because they will make noise. Just clean it off real good before you send anything to a paint shop.
