Thanks. That sounds more like the stuff I had applied to a used 1970 Plymouth Valiant by a rustproofing chain of the time, Tuff Kote Dinol. This would have been around 1973 or so. They used a Cosmolene-like substance on the exposed underbody areas, and sprayed a thinner liquid similar to what you describe inside the body panels. Some of the liquid ran out in hot weather, but I don't know that much actually dripped onto the road. Mostly it just gooped up the rocker panels and other areas under the body drain holes. Lanolin from sheep is pretty tenacious stuff. It takes strong detergent to get it off. However, it's still an oil, and I'm not sure it would be any healthier for all the plastic in modern EVs than a petoleum based oil would be. BTW, I thought that Tuff Kote Dinol went out of business, but it seems that it still exists -- in Singapore!
