Mick...absolute true story from this week. I go to HomieDepot paint department. Older guy comes to help me. I ask him where the Rustoleum Rust Reformer is. He says " What do you want it for"...Tell him to coat the rust on an iron railing before I paint it........He says " You know what's good for removing rust?...WD40..... I spray it on my brakes after the car has been sitting in the rain and the rust comes right off".....I said " Are you &^%^&* serious?"...He says "Yes"...........I just walked away.

Bosses work truck had an ABS light on. He complained. I put a square of elec tape over it. That was 4 years ago. Light is still on and tape is doing its job! Issue was bad steering column.
