    You know the stuff. On sale at a large retailer near you. Toilet flush blue is OK to minus 5c and antelope liver red, down to minus 7. Of course the colour in the mix doesn`t just de-materialise, it leaves a scum on the screen, outside the wipers arc. Given that this stuff is ready mixed. What`s
