Actually I've gone through three of cans of Never-Seez over the past ten
years. The spray can is especially handy although I can only seem to find it
in the can with the brush lately.
You'll use a bit of it if you pull those wheels off every three months or so
(to insure against having be towed if a wheel won't come off if you have a
flat), clean the splines and reapply. Much cheaper than the tow, or God
forbid, you have to cut a wheel off. I have an acquaintance that had to do
this on his E-type. Hate to see a grown man cry.
