(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...

Dave, I was looking at cleaning the rubber on the wells, not removing it. Thanks.

Dave, I was looking at cleaning the rubber on the wells, not removing it. Thanks. Tod, We need to make certain that the newcomers know what you're talking about. First, are you talking about the compound that the factory coated the wheel wells with BEFORE painting them? Or, are you talking about the coating (black) that was usually placed by the dealers ABOVE the painted surface? Neither was rubber-based. Both were tar based, though the factory Body Schutz product was made to hold paint. Schutz is easily made "pliable" with coats of mineral spirits or plain old WD40. Actually, the same is true for cars that were Ziebart treated (very popular in the 70's). Cleans up & softens with treatment - I use wd40. The Body Schutz product is still available & recommended, but it is nor rubber based. Pat |
