It also seems to travel a little or the oil in it does. So even if you do not get perfect coverage when brushing it still covers well.

That's a good tip.

The brake lines are the only lines that didn't rot through under my wagon. It's been in salted road winters since 1985 and everything under the subframe was shot (fuel and SLS). I guess some kind of spray would work best to get to the lines under there.
