Good results so far. Got it at Auto-Zone, but it should be at most large chain Auto stores.

Alcohol (rubbing not drinking.... ) on a paper towel works. If you use a spray (brake cleaner / carb cleaner) , watch where you spray. Some of the sprays have solvents that can damage rubber & paint.

Bought a bunch years ago from Harbor Freight and toss em when the start to lose the bristles. Max

+1 on the Permatex Ultra Copper. It's pretty easy to get back off, too.

The first stuff I ever used for this job was ThreeBond 1104 (due to a recommendation from my dealer). The stuff worked great, but was a real b*tch to remove later. Therefore, I do not recommend ThreeBond 1104 for this application.

IHTH someone!
