I should have made the distinction. In my experience RustCheck does funny things to rubber and leave a residue. Krown (not Crown) is better on rubber and wicks better into every crevice, it's amazing. Try http://www.krown.com/ There is only a small dealer in SSM and I have never delt with him/her. If you give me your phone number, I'll call you and we can talk about what to what for when y ou take your van there. You should call ahead and see if they can get a 5 gallon can for you to bring back with you so that you can do touch-ups every month or so - I do. So send your phone number. I'm in Harbor Springs till the end of the month if you stop by. M
