Re: Zymol Rubber Seal Conditioner

The silicone stuff probably works well too but I have read that it is not totally inert and will attack some materials like plastics and even glass.

About Krytox, it is what Ferrari uses to lubricate hinges and bushings. After feeling my seals after the Zymol I am hesitant to waste the expensive Krytox on rubber seals when they may be fine the way they are.
The Choir welcomes you!! I've been using Zymöl products for a long time and have always gotten great results. A word of warning on Seal: do NOT let it spill, i.e., leave the bottle laying on its side for some reason ... ask me how I know. In any event, great product. And now that you've tried that ...

I plan on giving the leather conditioner a try in the spring.

Also great products, the cleaner and conditioner set. I have been using them for a long time, but recently switched to Leatherique. The latter costs more and is much more time consuming to use, but I've had very good results with it. If, for whatever reason, Zymöl leather products don't quite give the results you're after, have a go at this:

I ordered some of this and will give it a try when it finally gets warm again. I also need to do another application of Zymol on the rubber. The wind noise is back.....
