Restoring door rubbers etc and tyres.

[DMK/Happy]

Hi all,wondered if it is ok to apply son of a gun on the tyres and door rubbers etc?

For cleaning and feeding the door rubbers and other seals (boot lid etc) Krytox is one (pricey) recommendation, the other (much cheaper) option is GummiPflege, normally cheapest as a 2 pack from Micks Garage on Ebay - which is what I've used for many years and works well. From what I saw on a quick Google search, son of a gun is a tyre sidewall cleaning product, not a seal cleaner and conditioner.

Also white silicone grease is super cheap .

No idea , but using on such large surface areas is probably more expensive that tyre wall treatment .
Bit close to brake pads/discs ?

Silicone grese is good , but expensive even for a small tub . I use it on my guns . Spray is best for door rubbers used it for yeaars and my seals and they are still like new . Even use it for all rubber items under the car .

We use spray silicon grease on door seals on 2 MBs. All well after a few years.

Have had it from Lidl and more recently from the local Auchan (Tesco? Sainsburies?) supermarket.

Well turned out really pleasing after a nice slow wash and wipe down afterwards with chamois. The Autoglym shampoo with conditioner left a shine and crystal shimmering raindrops . I would use it again,hope this helps someone.
