(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) ....Well I was fortunate some few years ago to luck up on a no-brand silicone liquid that was like molassis...used it for every rubber part on my cars until it was gone......AND I HAVE FOUND....a product you need to be aware of a product I just discovered. I think It,s new on the market....here goes ...BLACK MAGIC -Titanium....it,s a tire shine product...Its a THICK silicone,almost a gel, and comes with a scrub brush applicator. This stuff is INCREDABLE. I scrubbed down my tires (washed them) several times,allowed them to dry, and in the warm sun applied this stuff to both sides of the tires. They look better than new....Then I started on the rubber bumper tops, and every other rubber part on the car.(914)...it,s been about 3 weeks since I treated the whole car, and the rubber everywhere looks just great!!!...I got clean rags, wiped down most of the rubber parts, which released the imbeded dirt and crud from the rubber. then reapplied it everywhere again. ALL this took about 1/4 of the bottle, which is 16 oz,s. This stuff really works, It soaks into the rubber making it softer, looks great and will last longer than anything I have ever used...

How is that Wurth Rubber Treatment? ...does it have glycerin or silicone or what?
I've used that on my other cars' rubber for a couple of years now, but it's not cheap, & may not be wurth it (pun intended) if it does the same or a lesser job than cheaper glycerin. BTW Pat - what form is it in that's embarrassing? I'm stumped, because I thought plain ole glycerin was still available in the drug stores etc. in generic plastic bottles?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Another caution on the tire black is it has a black dye in it, IRRC from a similar product I have used from PP, & that stains the paint - then you have to use some work & cleaning stuff to get it off. |
