(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...

Seriously though - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) - what kind of smell does it give off, & does that give you any problems with the critters - raccoons, squirrels, rats, bee, flys, yellow jackets, etc. - on the occasions when you do have it open to the air?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I'd also think that when driven it would become a magnet for road grime as well as dust!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif) My car is the garage and disassembled. The normal dusty garage hasn't caused any issues with the peanut oil grabbing the dust out of the air. It has moistened the rubber and it has a "new" feel. No Bugs are attracted to it either. In an open garage, I don't have flies, wasps, or insects getting on it or swarming. ??? It was a suggestion an old car restorer told me to try. I've been pleased, so far. Since, I haven't driven mine....YET, I won't know on road grime. I'm hoping for this spring to have it as a driver. I'm sure I will get around to buying a replacement for my SIX once I have the whole body painted. But for now, it works. Will see if I can get pics posted. |
