A certain internet auto repair and maintenance "guru" has recently recommended using AT-205 Re-Seal on certain chassis parts to stop squeaks.
It is usually used directly in the oil sump to fix seal leaks, but the idea here seems to be be one of preserving or perhaps renewing things like bushings.
What little I have found on BITOG simply mentions that it is a plasticizer, seems not to contain petroleum distillates, and has mixed reviews from some BITOGers. Most objections seem to relate to its use inside the oil sump or transmission.
I am thinking of using it topically as preventative maintenance on bushings, brake lines, and cv boots. Does anyone have am opinion on whether this would be a waste of money, potentially beneficial, or possibly destructive?
I have been using 303 Protectant, but I wonder if AT-205 might not just preserve but actually restore these items.
