No experience with the Boeshield, but I've heard/read good things about it. Antiseize can be messy, but it will withstand full hose pressure w/o washing off in my experience. Plus it's got a good cost/benefit ratio! __________________ 2002 S4 Laser/Silver 6-speed Cold, Premium, Bose, Changer <Brian May guitar riff>..."I'm in love with my car, got a feel for my automobile"...I OWN an S4, I DROVE many a service loaner from Enterprise! $19k+ worth of warranty repairs. Tally ended on 8-23-05! She's now free of the man; DIY all the way! Now spending AoA retroactive cash back bonus for crappy dealer service! Thanks for the check, AoA! Please help to fight window-licking! (I hear they have a cure over on Audizine...)
