The Wurth Rubber Care Gel Stick is designed for treating weather stripping and rubber trim. One of the main benefits, besides conditioning the rubber and slowing/preventing aging, is that it is moisture resistant. This prevents moisture from freezing (during cold weather) on the seal and ultimately freezing the door shut. This makes this item almost essential for those unfortunate souls who live in cold weather. How does it look and how easy is it to use?
Here is my door seal prior to doing anything.
I gave it a wipedown with Wurth Clean-Solve although any all purpose cleaner will do. There was very little dirt transfer.
Here is what the Wurth Rubber Care Gel Stick looks like.
Removing the cap reveals a foam applicator sponge attached directly to the bottle, similar to a show polish applicator. Hold the bottle upside down and press to prime the sponge.
Application is easy. The Rubber Gel lays down very thin and begins to flash immediately.
Here is what it looks like 20 seconds after applying...
After 1 minute it was completely dry to the touch and finished to a 'oh so slightly darker then nothing' finish.
The rubber feels very soft to the touch but doesn't not have any any greasy or slick feel. I trust Wurth so much that I am considering taking a road trip to some cold weather, parking in a convience store, and watching people struggle with frozen doors. The whole time I will be making comments like "oh your doors are frozen again," while easily opening my doors and making additional comments like "wanna feel how soft my door seals are".
Then again maybe not, but Wurth Rubber Care Gel Stick is a great product.
