Default Rubber Preserver/protectant

I just read from a older post about using a rubber preserver? They applied to the rubber bushings with a brush.. Where can this be bought and what brand should i use? Thanks

We refer to two brands commonly, the "303 Aerospace Protectant"... nationally at "Ace Hardware", in their auto supplies section. Secondly, "Vinylex", sold at Pep Boys and other national auto supply stores.

Both are supplied in spray pump bottles. I prefer the 303, but it costs a few dollars more..

The two I'd consider are:

- 303 Aerospace Protectant (made by 303 Products), in spray bottle

- 100% Silicone Spray, in spray can that you spray on rag first.

I have the 303 as well and it is just awesome. I use it on all the weather stripping rubber in the doors, trunk and hood as well as on my tires. It looks awesome - is not shiny, just a very dark flat black - makes everything look brand new.

I bought my 303 online as well. I bought one of those gallons so that it would last a while.
