I have some that I replaced ~10-15 years ago and are still in very good condition. I just want them to look "new" and be more pliable if possible.
Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter. You will be shocked . Wash first w/ warm soapy water, rinse & dry, & use it like a wax & wipe, do not rinse it off. Be careful not to make crumbs & dispose of all trash elsewhere... attracts bugs .
PB Blaster...
It works. I makes rubber quite young again, (something about the protein in peanut oil reacting w/ rubber). It will take that white wax from overwaxing the car right off. Peanut butter smells better than a musty old car & no, Knikki does not smell of peanut butter... repaint & all new rubber 4 years ago . Been garaged ever since & I have not waxed her yet... what for? DO NOT USE CHUNKY! It scratches. If it smells like peanuts afterward you might wipe it off w/ something very mild like windex. I know this sounds wacky but it works. All you old Army guys remember spit shining your boots? Who would have thought spit would be so good for that? Makes me wonder things, like if poison ivy is the worlds' best engine oil? Also, it does not have to be Skippy, just creamy. If I buy peanut butter the car ain't gettin it all, I want some & I want my brand ! Death to Jif !
"All you old Army guys remember spit shining your boots? Who would have thought spit would be so good for that?"
Al, I'm an old Army guy, but don't get it!!?? Never used anything but spit or icewater & cotton balls to "spitshine" my boots. Actually, spit wasn't that great - too warm & the wax wouldn't set properly. Had a set of boots that a CO said looked like they were shined with peanut butter, but never understood that.
So, you think that "creamy" is the contemporary answer to Harmorall? Good to know, but I'll stick with glycerin - doesn't leave me looking for potato chips! And, I need to watch my girlish figure!

Why not just peanut oil... that's obviously the active ingredient?
I'd be worried that the solvents in the PB might bite into the rubber.
How using about the old reliable potion...glycerin?
i bought a bar of glycerin soap, would that work as well? -JON thanks
IIRC, Pat reported that some of the rubber seals in his car had deteriorated despite his treating them over the years.
Hate to put it this way, but maybe use something Pat DIDN'T use?
And as weird as peanut butter sounds, for some reason I like that recurrent post more than the drill-the-holes-for-the-rear-foglight theme! hahahaha

you will find glycerin at rite aid, wallgreen's, etc. it comes in a small bottle. it really helps for lubricating new seals at install too. magic when you load the chanel and the slide in portion of the side window squeegee. a little goes along way.
