I use diesel! (the fuel, not the aftershave!) I paint it on with a brush the evening before I am going to begin any job that may involve tight bolts, which is most jobs on older cars. The results are great! I have never struggled with any bolts since I have been using it. It was suggested by a mate at work as I mentioned to him that I really struggle sometimes as I only have one arm. (bike crash 5 years ago). ONE VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE! ALWAYS WEAR RUBBER GLOVES & ONLY USE IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS! Hope this will be of use to those like me who only feel comfortable either with a spanner in your hand or behind the wheel of your Celica!
