Then wipe and spray the rotor the same way, and button it all back up. If it starts, or if the cloth comes out colored black or grey, replace the cap and rotor.

What if it was my truck?

I'm not much of a giggler.

If it was Gary's truck, I'd tell him to just stay home when it rains. It's a lot safer to sit in the garage sawing the steering wheel while making driving sounds with your mouth.
