Hint, hint, Robin: Use it where the lubrication doesn't come naturally.

Butt Paste is better (yes, that's what it's really called). Can't say how well that works on battery terminals, though. I'll stick with WD-40 for that.

I've never used felt pads. They've never come on anything from the factory that I know of. Also....believe it or not, the absolute best thing I have found to clean corrosion off battery terminals is Cocola. Yup. You read that right. It just melts corrosion right off. Imagine that....and we drink the stuff.

No problem. Does this mean that you're going to forgive me for the town where I grew up (Chula Vista, CA) beating the town near you (and where my kids grew up--Warner-Robins, GA) in Little League? I'm not normally a big youth sports fan, but my hat's off to all of the players--great series!

Used it for years, wife got pissed one day when I used her last Diet Coke. Diet didn't seem to work as well though.

It was a great series, wasn't it? Them boys played their hearts out.
