preserve your Rubber with this stuff... Options

[ME733]

(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...

Hey All -

I just talked to my Minolta independent copier repair guy today cuz my 1980 EP4300 just gave up the ghost, but asked him about the Rubber Rejuvenator that Dave Cheek was mentioning above, cuz I remembered that he used to use it on the rubber rollers in the copiers.

He said that he, Konica-Minolta & all of the other major copier makers stopped using it a number of years ago (even before CA made it illegal), because over long term use it made the rubber on the rollers harder, although in the short term it did soften them up. He didn't know if it would do the same to auto rubber seals & parts, but warned caution.

So those who get it may want to try it on some extra rubber bits first for several applications to see if that happens on the 914 rubber seals too, or go to a more mild rubber treatment.

He said that they all now use diluted 50:50 Simple Green with distilled water to clean the copier rollers.

...hee-hee...I just connect that product in my warped mind with "Soilant Green" - for those old enough &/or are old movie buffs to know what I'm talking about! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Tom,

Just to clarify.....
The Rubber Rejuvenator is used to remove dirt and oxidized rubber. Then you should always apply your favorite vinyl and rubber treatment/preservative afterwards to protect it from drying out.
