what's up with the stuff? On my RS it's just like this oilly nasty stuff... every other car I have seen has a hardened undercoating on it... is it just on the RS's or on all of them? Wouldn't it be a better idea to get the hardened stuff?

 

i have the oily undercoating on mine, and i was about to wipe it all off until i found out that its actually a really nice undercoating.

 

My RS has it. I think its cosmoline.

 

Mine also has it and I also wondered the same thing when I first bought it. It's normal.

 

and it does not come off your hands or arms once applied to skin from the car

 

no it doesn't, I experienced that while installing my exhaust.

 

be careful and dont get it in your hair

 

I thought it was greasy sludgy crap sprayed down the car from an oil leak and a tcase leak I had a while back. Didn't know it was supposed to be that way.

 

LOL, I got that crap all over me.

But then I start wiping all that stuff off and the some guy told me it was actual protectant for the underside of the car.

Then I proceeded to take the sludge from the towel and put it back on the car....... LOL.

 

I have it too. I'm sure it has a valid purpose being there, maybe it keeps everything from rusting or something. It's interesting that after almost 3 years of constant driving in wet and dusty conditions it still looks and feels fresh. And yes I did get it in my hair .

 

Maybe some mitsu specialist could chime in and tell us why it's there .

 

Mitsu's new Hair line? "Just for Men" ?

 

New Hair Growth Product! ROFLZ. (^_^)

Very much like hot tar, that stuff becomes a part of you.
