Out with the old, in with the new!

Well that helps a LOT... Ive seen creams based upon deer tallow. Ill also ask a friend who is a bassist.

Thanks again.

 

[JHZR2]

aha...

SPG Bullet lubricant is a mixture of canning paraffin, beeswax and tallow... $3-4/stick

There are a bunch of others too... mink tallow for example.

No notes of it going rancid, still good characteristics at sub-zero tempratures, etc.

Bullet lube...

I'm not sure why you obsess about deer tallow. Isn't it almost spring in Noo Joysie?

Because I've not found a good treatment for rubber door seals as of yet...

And it seems that you have one.

For my multiple 20+ year old cars, I would like to do everything possible to keep the rubber seals on the doors in good shape.

Im in the USVI... Its sunny and warm here.

Have your grammie send you this Hirschtalg Gummipflegestift.

 

[JHZR2]

I would, but I dont think she will make it back there again

I really like Black Magic tire spray.I use it for the interior vinyl as well.

Any interest in trying Rotella Synth? Seems like an obvious choice for a 12v owner who likes thick oil. The 12v I'm servicing now has PZ SUV 5w-30. It's mid-winter and it's rarely driven. When driven it's by my teen niece. I'll toss in some MLEP after deep winter.

BITOGers, try some on the next time you are in the sporting goods section, even if you don't play golf.

By the way, that is a very nice looking Audi. Congratulations on keeping it in tip top condition.

Thanks for admiring my old ride!

I guess I'll have to take a picture of my driving gloves, and if it's just to provoke Steve S.

Check in a few hours, I have to go for a drive anyway!

Nope, mostly because I can't find the synthetic version in 5W-40 locally.

Here, just for Steve S, are my ca 12 old Italian driving gloves, made from capybara skin. Capybaras are of course those pig-sized aquatic rodents from Brazil.

The gloves considerably improve grip on the wheel.

Mori is tormenting me again!
