When rustproofing........

Make sure that all the black gunge has dried or evaporated properly before moving your car or.......................

Your driveway will have black dribbles all over it!

Cavity spraying tends to pool in the low spots (the ones where the rust gets and the salt spray can't drain from!) and as the car is moved it then dribbles from the drain holes. Doh!

Mine sat for a good hour over cardboard "catchers"! Still dribbled!

As long as the car is rustproofed, the driveway is of no consequence!!

Are you saying that we'll dribble from our drain hole if we sit around for a while and then move....

"She" thinks differently! Petrol, degreaser and traffic film remover will be the order of the day, with a power wash to top it off!

She even had the cheek to say that MY car was dropping engine oil!

Dry as a bone madam! Never uses a drop!
