Ummm.... Ya.....
Looking at the spec`s from their site and SDS sheets it looks like it should be safe to use. But I would test a small area first.
Personally I have used: 303 Aerospace, Meguiars #40 Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner / Conditioner, Nextzett Rubber Care Stick Gummi Pflege.
I prefer the 303 or #40 just for ease of use. The Gummi Pflege works well but its not as handy as I anticipated.

While I don`t share TroyScherer`s appreciation for 303 or M40, I agree that the 1Z/NextZ and Wurth Gummi Pflege "sticks" aren`t as handy as one might expect. Using the stick`s foam head applicator will usually result in awful staining of same (at least eventually) and it`s not really the right size much of the time. So as with products like 303/M40, I use something else to apply the stuff in those sticks too. Swabs and disposable touchup brushes work well for tight spots and thin bits.
Not that I use such products nearly as much as some people seem to...
I agree that the 1Z applicator tip is not up to the job. With the 1Z Gummi Pfledge I pulled the foam tip off. I squeeze some out the nozzle into a folded corner of a MF and then use that moistened MF corner to wipe onto the rubber seals. I swear that this stuff makes the seals `puff up` or swell. I don`t see 303 or M40 doing that. I do use 303 though when I don`t have enough time to apply the 1Z properly.

The first time I used Gummi Pfledge many years ago I think it had a deodorant-like roller ball. It applied much better than the liquid shoe-polish like tip we have today.

Hey, that`s interesting! I wasn`t using it back then (gee, sorta surprising, huh?), never saw the roller ball. I bet that cost a bundle compared to a little bit of foam and the central plunger that they use now. Sorta doubt that I`d like it as well..sounds harder to transfer to my (actual) application medium.

I found it would put the product down easier than the foam thing we have today, but it did put product down pretty think. I would apply short lines of product around the desired area and then simply use a rag to spread it around evenly.
Thanks for that, I`m going to call them and see why no reference to the much larger auto market...

Tanker- Hey, I find that interesting that they say it`s (really) a "lubricant". Maybe certain ingredients just add up to "call it a `lube` no matter what"...but I`m still glad you posted that.
As for "safe to use", I`d be really surprised if it were harmful to either the user or the materials being treated.

I ASSume it depends on how much & what type of Petroleum Solvent is used....depending on what the seals you are using it on are made of.
