Stupid Sunblock Question
I would like to preface the following question by saying I know some of you may find it stupid. However, I would really like to know what kind of sunblock people use. I never really thought about it before but I know people have issues with their handcream changing the color of the leather on the steering wheel. My car has the two tone red and black and I don't want to mess up either the steering wheel or the seats.

Any suggestions anyone has are greatly appreciated.

I have used the aerosol spray on kind without any issues. It is not as "creamy" as regular sunblock, and I guess it isn't as greasy but i don't notice any residue being left behind on the leather.

I don't remember the brand off-hand, but it comes in a blue can, and is waterproof, I think.


Now if only I can find it before tomorrow morning...

I bought some today called Dry Oil - it's only 4 block but I want to get some color. You can borrow if you'd like.

Well, i guess that is a good question, since you have your top off all the time..i mean the top on your car, i myself don't need since my top is always up....

Back to the topic...

Along with a buncha GWG stuff, Reed also included a little purse sized spray on sun block.

I tried it out a couple weeks ago on my way to Ohio. It works, but too well. It left splotches everywhere I sprayed it. In other works, it didn't provide even coverage. So I spotted arms for the weekend!

The best sunscreen is the top. Funny though, it never gets used when it's sunny.

I use (when my wife makes me) the Coppertone SPF 70 Spray... Dries quickly, no residue and it smells like I'm on vacation all over again in Jamaica...

Mainly the Spray-on ones don't have any of the oily stuff.

Hawaiian Tropic 30+ (the purple top) Old habits die hard. I tried a few of the spray on ones and didn't like them. This has been one of the least greasy ones I have used.

I am NOT a newbie! Spag says and so does Morfious. And, might I add, once you've had Sky07 in your car all weekend you are automotically elevated to seasoned veteran!!!
