The plastic nut that held the gearstick in the gearbox would disintegrate leaving you waving the gearstick around in the air conducting musical cars. Everyone else used a steel screwed cap for the job so the gearstick stayed where it was originally intended. Ford has progressed to using rubber drive belts in the sump oil now - engine goes kaputt faster than a Russian tank in Ukraine.

I recently discovered a gigantic bird plop on my car that had been baking in the sun for 2 days and it did etch the paint such that chemicals could not take it off. I managed to remove it in less than 2 minutes with some car polish, a sander/polisher attachment for a cordless drill and a wool pad, and a microfiber cloth for a final hand buff to restore any remaining swirling. Only had the cordless drill spinning the pad for like 10 total sec (maybe 5 if it were a bigger pad). The key is ensuring the car is waxed a few times a year as that greatly slows down the etching process.

With considerable real world experience with sailing skiffs & yachts (some race car stuff also) the use of Duralac corrosion inhibitor compound works wonders. This is especially crucial with stainless steel rivets holding stainless steel fittings onto aluminium spars such as masts, booms and spinnaker poles. These fittings are often of a mission critical nature and corroding aluminium underneath them often results in catastrophic failure. Carbon fibre spars are similar too. The salt water and moist environment no doubt speeds up the process. I am a massive fan have been an avid viewer for must be about 10 years. Love your work keep it up!

Interesting comment about the stainless nut certs in steel . I would really like to see those results I too have studied metallurgy managing to be accepted for a position at the NSWGR lab just before the site was closed down which precipitated the closure of the metals industry in NSW As you should know all corrosion is a galvanic reaction so any 2 different metal in contact with each other + something to complete the circuit creates a galvanic cell which leads to corrosion . Even different stress levels in the same metal will make a galvanic cell as will the boundaries between the pearlite & cementite phases in plain carbon steel. Unless the steel around the hole drilled to insert the riv-nut was normalized the edges of the hole will make a galvanic cell with the rest of the steel panel . These were fun experiments I gave to my students to do as it was easy to do a colourmetric proof of the cells forming the fun came when trying to actually measure the galvanic voltages between say an upset nail head , the indentations from the clamp when the head was upset and the rest of the wrought shank . I will not dispute that a galvanic cell will be produced but unless it was say on a boat trailer that regularly immerses in salt water I would doubt the significance of the galvanic actions between the stainless and the body steel. Even more so because different stress levels in the same piece of metal also create galvanic cells So for the afore mentioned rivet there is one between the flange and the body , There is another whole series of them between those indentations & the body and this will be before it is even set . Once set there will be multiple galvanic cells right along the newly formed flange , and a massive one where the metal folds back on itself then another series between the remainder of the body & the newly formed flange on both sides of the flange. Then as with everything protected by galvanizing the zinc is sacrificial so will be consumed by the Zn-Fe cell till eventually it is all gone and this is assuming that the galvanizing / plating does not crack & split during the setting process in which case it will be consumed even faster due to multiple cells being formed. . This is particularly relevant now days as the time interval between the vehicles crossing the driveway at the car dealers and the same vehicle crossing the driveway at the St Marys shredder ( should Sims still have it here ) gets exponentially shorter with each new model as we consume ourselves into extinction. I have never dropped nut cert into a dish of Agar but it would have been interesting to do an unused one against a set one then a set one of different metals into different metals to see just how aggressive the reactions were then of course some salt water accelerated corrosion samples , weighed to determine the actual loss of materials which I do not think would be significant unless you were say a manufacturer of new cars adverse to creating possible warranty claims no matter how remote the chances were .
