A quick blast from my compressor when I am checking the tyre pressures does the trick.
Yes, my IT man taught me that trick, make sure the end nozzle is metal ( not usually a problem with garage forecourt gear ) and don't wear rubber soled shoes!

'trouble is - I always forget to take my laptop with me when I use the local garage, and I haven't got a home compressor, a standard foot pump doesn't hack it, and I never dismantle the desktop to cart into town !

I've been warned about not using aerosol cans of compressed air, 'cos of the plastic tube they use, i.e. static, but another IT man said that was a load of b****ocks, no problem and sells then for that purpose, but I decided to stick a wire up the tube, take off my rubber shoes and stand on the other end.

Paranoid ? Moi ?
