I know, right?

Also, this runs and drives which isn't allowed at Pebble Beach because it might make the wheels and engine dirty

Wet the area down, apply air pressure and look for bubbles. Just like fixing tires.

No more bubbles at 7psi. That'll do. It'll dry overnight and I'll paint it in the morning. Then it can go back in the car.

Anything that cracks and goes rusty is codenamed P38 so you know which Holts product to buy.
