But there is another I bought the xA so I dont have to worry about putting $80 dollars worth of gas in my vehicle like i used to when now I can put $27 and it be filled. So Im not to worried about saving 10 cents.

When I lived in manhattan, everyone and their mother would go to jersey to fill up... but everyone would get out of their car and wait for the attendant to walk away... then they could put their hand on the nozzle and pretend they were filling up themselves...


seriously... having someone else fill up your tank is just annoying. but jersey prices are unbeatable. hooray for the armpit of america!

keep in mind that most bug and tar removers are mostly a type of gas with some other ish, you should be fine. especially since you washed it off. i know people that use to use gas to remove tar off their vehicles (back when gas as cheap)

Not to mention that gas also evaporates pretty quickly (like alcohol). I really doubt it would be a problem if you've washed it off. Just avoid brake fluid on the paint (disaster).

I don't know if this is good idea for not?

But I damp it off slowly then gently wet a new towel rag into window washer fluid. I gently wet it and then get another rag. Softly dry it off.

BUT if you went to a station with a car wash. By law they should give you free wash. I don't know if it's Wisconsin or federal. One time, I was filling up and had the auto fill on. I was standing outside the car and all of sudden two bucks worth of gas overfilled onto my car and ground. I walked in and said "I just want you to know I overfilled and I'll pay the extra 2.00s." The woman asked me back "Were you standing outside of your car?" I said "Yes." She replies back, "Oh! Well I'll give you free car wash. Which level do you want?" I said back "Don't worry, I'll wash it by hand when I get home." I don't trust automatic washes. She gave me "No, Here take this code and wash it off."

Told that to my Dad. He replies "Well yeah, they are suppose to give you free washes if its their fault. Unless you're at station without a car wash."

gas evaporates fas so what ever damage is already done..only if it happened alot would it really cause a problem..you could rinse it off (dont rub) and apply wax and your fine.
