To tclederman, Yea I did atad bit of research b4 diving in. I actually tried the " soap and water" in a squirter but didn't seem like I could get it slippery enough. The soap I actually used was Ajax dish soap, that also states on the back that is used as a hand soap, which is what I do with it. Never the less, thats all I had available at the garage besides hand cleaner with grit in it...… Didn't think that would be a good idea..HA
