    well you’d be fine because WD-40 isn’t an acid.

    As someone who works work petroleum products and the like on a daily I try to use gloves as much as I can, most of the time not cause I don't want my hand sucked in a lathe. It's not good to let that crap soak into your skin.

    it must not rain where you are at to use that stuff!
    i tried it on mine and the first rain it just washed it completely off :mad: very upset

    gonna try some rustoleum trim restore next spring coz i have an appearance policy to keep up, just like the yankees do

    i am sure that the potent chassis primer/paint i have been using drizzling down my arm while upside down is a no-no too?
    that stuff stuck around for awhile until i shed enough cells

    i would like to know why the local DIY garage lift rental place will let you spray WD40 but will NOT let you spray Fluid Film or other undercoating in his shop

    It doesn't rain often in Phoenix, but I've noticed it washes off and streaks if you don't apply it properly. You have to start with a clean & dry surface in the shade, then you have to apply it vigorously, then wait 10 minutes and buff. Like I said, it takes elbow grease.

    I need to get the ep35 relay as well to fix my LED turn signal hyperflash. Where do you install the relay? I'm retarded when it comes to doing anything electrical.

    something is wrong with me
    i put on the arch mouldings in the rear, went to do the other side and it did not fit!
    perhaps these things can only go on one side and are not swappable
    wasted another hour! taking them off, switching around and respraying behind them

    no, it pretty much sucks!
    they looked exactly the same and were not marked that i could tell as to which side they fit

    I’ve been looking for a 01-04 center console to replace the useless cup holders in my 98. I have a brown/tan interior currently, what interior colors were offered in 01-04, can I find a match to the 98 brown? Don’t want to waste my time searching for something that doesn’t exist.
