hi guys.. just thought i'd post this idea regarding keeping your remote box looking good.. every time i've washed out and jumped back in to the cab i keep a small paint brush at hand i just simple brush the remote box with the brush which gets all the crap out of the tiny grooves and keeps it looking good.

Cat,

You are right, if you don't do it every day it will be a mess. Try spraying "Pledge" furniture polish on it, or your brush. The crete can't stick to it.

I as well love wd-40. What rubber caps are you talking about, the ones on the joysticks? I never noticed any swelling but I will be more attentive to that now.

43) If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the
moisture and allow the car to start.
P. S. The basic ingredient is FISH OIL.

Cr.p Many you believe in this stuff LOL. I like it too but it stinks also, maybe I could wear a pine tree air freshiner, it would outweigh the benefits hehe.

You forgot one other use, like potato gun fuel.
