I've heard previous reference to a 50/50 solution with laquer thinner as a coating to prevent corrosion. What about using regular paint thinner or mineral spirits ? What's the difference ? Thanks in advance.

I came back to the forum looking for any updates but couldn't find any since the 120 day post. Aside from getting the new drums, what have you done to arrest the corrosion? I'm a bit worried I close to hole-through. ...

Jetta Lug Bolts Corrosion My 2006 Jett TDI lug bolts are starting to corrode and have some difficulty getting on and off. I know one is not supposed to use grease or oil on them because it may cause them to loosen. Is it ok to use anti-sieze compound on the lug bolts?

Ohhhh what a feeling!Now, while were watching for runaway Toyotas on the freeway, we need to look out for their spare tires littering the road.
