During this cold spell coming up, take care not to spill any neat anti freeze on the paint work, it can mark it for life
Pour it into a smaller jug /vessel rather than use the large containers.

I thought anti freeze wasn't as corrosive as it used to be...I'm not suggesting you pour it onto the paint work to find out though.

(I will do as Television suggests and not take any chances though)

You have a good point there, but maybe there are horders out there like me who still has the three types ie Alloy/ alloy iron/ and iron types ( next time I go out shopping I will read the labels. the cars most affected are the classic's finnished in cellulouse.

Interestingly I have 2 brands in the garage used for 2 different cars - neither being the SL. The halfords brand has ethylene glycol in it and the warning to wash off any spills on paintwork. The other is comma brand and is synthetic - mono propylene glycol and has no warnings.
