    Speaking of silicon spray...
    What do you know about anti-slosh foam?

    Ha ha I got some on the shelf to try, even with me staff discount its pretty bloody expensive.
    It is just cubes of foamy stuff and it sits in the bottom of your tank. Also don't wanna put it in cos am not sure if I am going to keep this tank or get one of the military ones.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    Hub uses tyre shine from Uncle Bill's on all his bikes. The Supercheap stuff is ok too except the spraycan itself is useless. Sometimes Te Warewhare have an odd brand in a black can.

    Either are at least half the price of Silicon 808.

    If you want to be cheap...

    use Vaseline (petroleum jelly) - bit on a rag and run over plastic. Water runs right off it and makes everything very shiny and 'new' looking. I use it on dash boards on cars, rubber trim etc. Just heat tends to kind of melt it...

    Scottoiler F365 is great stuff. It neutralizes the salts but does wash off eventually..but just reapply without cleaning.

    Couple of hundy for enough for a big tank I think.(don't quote me on that) Got some on the shelf at the moment at work but am too tight to buy it, and I think its only for a medium tank..
    Mind you the other day up the cobb I think the klr was suffering a bit of tank slosh disorder.
