you really need to check every inch of the car for corrosion.

Sure thing. DM me your email and I can send it your way. Just to note, I stopped tracking the cost during COVID as the market was not a "true" market and the prices were inflated.

one of the things do is drive with the headlights on all the time. So far no condensation in headlights nor tail lights...also disable the headlight washers.
