All I can say is, the Campos, Sikhote-Alins, Canyon Diablos, Muonionalustas, etc. that I've treated with "Rig" look fine. Those that weren't treated I've given away, except one Campo that I've held onto, just so I can keep track of what happens when one has been treated with the black substance that the dealers put on. I have to clean the area beneath that Campo just about every week....little chips keep falling off, revealing a rusty interior.
