I didn't mean to jump on anyone, (Well, except maybe Armor-All) so please accept my apologies. I admit my experience & knowledge is based on the product from years ago. As a piano Tuner, I have experienced it ruining keytops and as a car owner, vinyl dashes. The silicone acts as a stress release agent, so the molding stresses in the parts become concentrated and voila, a crack! Maybe this doesn't happen to molded rubber, so I should have been more explanatory in my posting. If it does still contain silicone, though, I'd avoid it because of the paint touch-up problem. Hmm, the rubber parts probably have silicone mold release agent on them anyway--the whole question may be mute! Back to having fun w/ our cars! A's always, David Dewey |
