Gas shutoff did not function. Just rinse with h2o and wipe off. Will gas damage paint?

Nah; probably spilled it on paint hundreds of times on cars owned for years.

Nope, it'll just strip wax -- just reapply some wax and you're fine

Default Try putting one of these on.

It folds easily into the opening.

It costs about $2 to make. I fashioned mine out of sheet rubber. Works perfect. You can make them any size. I like them long.
