MicroBlue coating actually changes the way lubricants work. You know how slippery you feel in the shower with soft water? Soft water changes the way soap wets your skin, making you feel slippery. When a lubricant comes into contact with any MicroBlue coated surface, it does exactly the same thing-by changing the way a lubricant works on the surface.

This is very different from other coatings you're familiar with. Conventional coatings don't actually do anything until things touch. For example, a DLC coated wrist pin doesn't protect that pin until there's contact with the rod. The same applies to moly coated piston skirts and bearing inserts. They have no effect until things touch. But most importantly, none of them work like soft water works!

If you think about it, in our world (with a few exceptions) things don't touch. Those balls don't actually ride on the steel race surfaces, there's an oil film between them. The same goes for gears and everything else that moves.

Now that we have some very nice looking jewelry, it's time to finish up our "Smooth and Slippery" program. That simply consists of MicroBlue coating all of the polished contact surfaces. Now remember, MicroBlue results in NO SIZE CHANGE at all, so you need not worry about tolerance changes. Therefore, we are the last step before assembly. For example, you're building a car for the SEMA show...when you're done with it, you simply detail it and get it ready for the show.
