    Don’t use silicone. Use AT-205, this rejuvenates rubber. It actually slows the off gassing rubber properties.

    • @Nexgeninfi

      Silicone is a good measure for general cleaning and it doesn't eat into the rubber. But yes AT-205 is the best for rubber, at a higher cost.

      I've made it well past the 80k mark using AT-205. I'm now at 110k on my GX, and the boots are still supple and crack free.

    At 205 in a bottle ??? is that what you guys were talking about? I’m trying to do it on my car but all I see is the one that’s in the bottle that you can pour your transmission and stuff.

    My mechanic actually advised against spraying the cv boots with silicone and AT fluid. The thinking is it could actually accelerate wear faster than leaving them alone.

    • @GXBOB
      @GXBOB  Місяць тому

      But in reality, without applying the silicone or AT fluid will cause early failure so you can take it into your mechanic so he can make his car payments. Thats what our GX community is for, its so you don't have to rely on mechanics.

    Second the AT-205. Silicone is great for quick maintenance, but it does not rehydrate and repair the rubber like the polymers in AT-205. It's not cheap, but it is better engineered for this type of maintenance. I apply it twice a year, and supplement it with silicone when temps start dropping.
    Pro tip: this routine works great for saltwater sailboat maintenance.
