New way to clean rubber! (Boots)

Grumpy_Bottom said:

it would, if the petroleum were allowed to stay on the rubber like a silicone based product would do, but when wiped, the wd removes dirt, and the thin layer left after wiping evaporates leaving clean, un "slicked" rubber. try it on an old radiator hose, or spark plug wire one day and see what the difference is. best, when done, unlike a silicone product, it doesnt wipe off as a black residue the next time you touch it because all thats left is rubber, not rubber plus product

What you see evaporating is the volatile portion of the product. You may already know this, but for others reading the thread, WD-40 is a mixture of both volatile and heavier, non-volatile lubricating oils. The volatile portion allows the product to run freely and penetrate very well. However, the way it works is that the volatile portion evaporates, leaving behind the heavier products to do their thing. This is why it's such a great temporary penetrating or rust-proofing oil. I guarantee you that the heavier stuff is not fully removed by a simple wipe. It's partially absorbed into the rubber, which like any petroleum product and rubber, can lead to drying and cracking in time. It's why they recommend using nitrile, not rubber, gloves when you work with it.

Actually now that I think about it, your radiator hoses may actually be nitrile, and not natural rubber as is often found in shoes. The notable exception being oil-resistant soles and whatnot.
