Yea.. I say it wouldn't hurt to just drive it to town or something, but not over a long period of time... I think the kit is 8.88 or 10.80 or somethin.. right at 10 bucks... its not bad.

Just don't rince it out or use the cleaner over a sealed blacktop drive way... it eats the sealent off..

A few minutes to clean. Best to wash in the evening so it dries COMPLETELY overnight. Then LIGHTLY oil and install. I got my kit for $12 at autoanything.com.
