Gummi Pflege available again?

[gale]

Found this at Pelican Parts while browsing, $7.50 for a 100 ml tube. It's under the "Body & Seals" section.

Don't know if it's the same stuff as the old one:

I've heard a lot about this stuff, but uh excuse the idiocy: What is it and what does it do?

After you wash the car, wipe down the rubber seals on the doors & door jams with a damp rag & apply it to the rubber. It goes on like the old-fashioned sponge shoe polish applicator, only it's clear. Gets rid of lots of annoying squeaks & rattles -- restores the "tightness" of the car to the quiet, like-new sound. (used to use 50/50 alchohol & glycerin in the old days)

Here is where Russell says the stuff at Pelican parts isn't the same, but he is talking about a spay saying the real stuff is gel, so maybe you found the holy grail.

[shogun]

It is available as spray. I have see the spray can at a BMW showroom here in Japan. Price was about 12 US $.
P/N should be in an up-date ETK.

[Paul in NZ]

is it the stuff to use in the window seals...for some reason my windows squeak against the rubber as they go up lately,but the window seals are fuzzy arent they?

[Russell]

The Pelican stuff is made by 1Z and is as thin as water. It is not the same as the original gel like. I did not like it. BTW, a 95% tube of the original sold on e-bay for $26 plus shipping. I bid up to $10! LOL

[Russell]

The new BMW stuff is a bit wierd. It foams as you spray and is not as dense as the gel and then seems to soak in. Even so, you need to apply it thick to get much softening/slickning effect. Not sure I like it very well. Better than nothing I guess.

That is hilarious.

Bill are you saying it is available again? I hope so. Think I will call my dealer. You are the man!

[mikell]

Not the same stuff - but it's not bad. Better than nothin', huh?

[Russell]

NIMO I did not like it.

ALCOHOL AND GLYCERIN OKAY TO USE? damn caps. I have a ton of glicerin at work...might be nice to use it for something.

Worked great on my 912 back in LA in the 70's when the ozone was so thick you could cut it with a knife & would rot the sidewalls off a new set of tires within a year. I used the glycerin solution a couple times a year & dusted the seals with baby powder & the door seals always stayed soft & squeak-free. Never attacked the rubber for as long as I owned it.

Im gonna put some into small bottles and try it, cant hurt...right???
