Be careful with products named BullFrog.
There is BullFrog corrosion cleaner, and then there is BullFrog sun
blocker. Be sure you use the right one for the application at hand. Both
block stuff, but you want to be sure the right stuff is blocked. Both
are really good products!!!!
And yes, I know it isn't Friday, but I just couldn't help myself!!!
