Cheers...

NERF 69 - thats the stuff that stays on all the time so not that one you can remove just for journeys to and from shows

GunnerCP  - this could be the right stuff, dont forget the engine gets hot so dont want it to stick on what temp can this go to?

Do you drive your car normally or just to shows?
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

If is your show car is it not worth spending that extra cash then its done you don't have to worry about the next shows you go to. I've seen this stuff in action and it amazing. Don't quote me on it but im sure its the same stuff they use on ferrari's
