Thanks for asking. I thought it was only me !! :crazy:
Me too...I looked it up and am even more confused now...

Prismacolor's Magic Rub is a vinyl eraser for use on polyester-based drafting film, acetate, or tracing paper. ... It erases delicate drawings cleanly, without smudging.

Oh thank God I had no idea either. lol I'm guessing it's a better version of a Magic Eraser but for auto use?

Amazon carries it and it looks like it it for art? Still not sure what use it would have for an auto?

  • Designed to cleanly erase delicate surfaces
  • Premium vinyl eraser both absorbs graphite and erases India ink
  • Sharp corners are perfect for cleaning up small areas

EDIT: From one of the comments:

Used these to remove car wax on the plastic trim on my car, and they work wonderfully! Sturdy enough to really push on them, but didn’t hurt the trim or paint...
IDK I've always used a microfiber cloth and it's worked good.

Evil LMAO......

It is a fantastic way to remove car wax off plastic. Even better than most chemicals.

I got my first registration renewal today. Got to love California. Unless other states are charging near double the monthly payment. Maybe 5 should be my lucky number. ?

I wish ours was that cheap. Mine was $602 for the second year reg and that was down from the first. We have a VAT (vehicle tax) tax which decreases every year and it's based on the vehicles value. We had the same back in MA which was called an excise tax. So basically you pay nothing to drive a junk vehicle.

Yep. I agree with AZScorpion. Ours is more like $750-800 for a first renewal on a truck like a new Ranger. Plus sales tax when you first buy it. If you lived in a city with addl sales tax (like I do), you could be looking at $2200 there for a $30K purchase. Might not get out of there for less than $3K. Needless to say, a lot of dealers offer to finance the initial registration costs into the loan.

Thankfully with the high value of my trade (which is why I traded) and the leftover registration credit I had from that vehicle (because I just renewed in February), I made it out of there for $100 this time (mostly tire disposal fees). :)
