[Vwdiesel] rust question

[dominique cormann]

I have also used it with success. My only problem with it, is that you
really have to use the stuff up quickly. I have had no luck with storing
whatever I have left. It turns to a solid in the small jars that I would
store the leftover.

On the car though it does the same, turns to a rock hard finish. Works
great.
