Wax engine bay corrosion protection

[Louis-Alain Richard]

According to Martin Pajak on the urQ list, Wurth makes a similar product
that is available in spray cans. Look at what he's done to his winter
4kq:

You may ask him directly what to buy, martin at quattro.ca.

Oh, by the way, look at his winter wheels :-)
