Why wheels stickum?

Those of you who live in states where salt is not used on the roads 
don't realize how lucky you are. I bought the Audi for 2 reasons: 
efficient 4 wheel drive and galvanized body. So far I am pleased with both.

I have had the experience of working on Jaguars raised in Texas and 
Ontario. When I got underneath the Texas one I was so pleased that I 
didn't have to hack away the rust just to get my wrenches on the nuts, 
and the nuts and bolts were not rusted together.

On all my cars I use anti seize on the lugs nuts/studs or bolts, and I 
apply a thin coating to all contact points of the rim and axle assembly. 
I still have to use a BFH sometimes to get the rims off :-)

Regards
George
