Something I learned today

I went to the track fri night and got rubber all over the side of my car really bad and it was really gewy. Well today I finally got around to washing it and I couldnt get the rubber off. I got some WD40 and sprayed on the car and a rag and it wiped right off with ease. So no need to spend money on tar remover or anything like that just get some WD40.

Re: Something I learned today

Racers have known about WD40 for years. There's a whole list of things WD40 can be used for that has nothing to do with things that "stick and squeak"

If you eliminate ever use that includes the word lubricate, the list isn't as big.
