So you never go through a car wash?

It doesn't matter what the brake lines are made
of, a 16 year old vehicle should have them
inspected and replaced as necessary.

You're expecting magic materials to take the
place of proper maintenance.


I'd agree if the lines lasted that long. In 55 years of driving, I
never replaced corroded brake lines until rather recently. I drove
plenty of 10 to 15 year old crap cars but two newer cars (2001 and 2010)
needed brake lines after six years.

That said, the 2001 Buick was falling apart in six years and I ended up
giving it away. Last GM car for me.
