Another fantastic “secret” garage product is Gummi Pflege (http://goo.gl/zULDO0). This is a wonderful German rubber care product that is especially popular amongst “in the know” BMW owners. But the protective properties of Gummi Pflege are good for rubber seals on all-American RVs, too.
This is "the good stuff" for all things RUBBER - especially door seals. (Click the pic for more info.)
Gummi Pflege works wonders on rubber trim and seals. BMW guys love to use it on weather seals that line the doors, hood, and truck of their cars. It helps to reduce squeaks, rattles, and potential water leaks. Any rubber surface benefits from an occasional dose of Gummi Pflege, but it’s especially good with seals.
I doubt you’ll ever see this product in a typical retail store. Perhaps one reason that not many people know about Gummi Pflege is the weird name. In truth, the name “Gummi Pflege Stift” sounds quite exotic – until you realize it’s simply German for “Rubber Maintenance Stick!”
The product comes in a “shoe polish” style applicator stick. Simply open the cap, tilt the stick, and rub the foam applicator onto the rubber surface. There’s minimal waste; just be careful when opening the container.
Gummi Pflege protects rubber from the damaging effects of excessive cold, heat, and UV rays.
Gummi Pflege is especially good at preserving the elasticity of rubber. It helps prevent the dreaded drying and cracking that often happens to rubber seals over time.
Gummi Pflege is highly prized for its protective qualities. It will help keep rubber looking and performing like new. Yet it’s not greasy and slick like many competing products.
It’s not a restorative product. Although it may improve the appearance and function of worn out rubber, it’s best to apply Gummi Pflege before you experience any drying. In other words, an ounce of Gummi Pflege is worth a pound of restoration.
If you allow your rubber seals to dry rot, you’ll be faced with a costly replacement job. It’s much better to apply some Gummi Pflege and reap the preservative rewards.
