Margarine in a spray bottle LOL; that's what the auto parts stores con us with when they sell us tire shine, though Armor All seems to last well; must be margarine with ear wax LOL

By the way does anyone know how much chicken fat goes into the average bottle of shampoo?

Nor do I !! :D

I recently used the black bumper spray from 3M (Bondo). It works well, and looks great.
