Come to think of it, I can understand the windshield washer solvent Studebaker used staining the paint....but it's a little hard for me to grasp how the material the hose was made from could cause paint staining.:huh:

Vinyl (PVC) tubing is made flexible by the addition of plasticizers added during fabrication. There's always a chance they can leach out and cause the problems stated.
