Which Krytox

[reflexboy]

I have been using Gummi Pfledge on my roof rubbers on my R230 SL with good results, however it doesn't seem to last that long before I need to re-apply. I was thinking of getting some of this Krytox stuff, but which one? I have seen 105, 205, 206 GPL etc and in grease or oil form. Which one should I be using? TIA

I put gummi pledge on my roof rubbers 3 years ago and they are still moist from that application...

Mine stay supple and wet but the creaking re-appears after a couple on months

You'll find the info on a VW Eos forum - but be sitting down when you find prices for Krytox - and VW's price for it is horrifying (and for the Eos the say you should apply every 6 months!!). IIRC a small bottle is over £40 as Krytox xxx, and even more when it is VW seal lubricant (or whatever they call it!!).

Considering I got 2 tubes of Gummi for £10 delivered from Ireland via eBay, I'd forget Krytox!!

I've use Krytox spray from VW not on the rubbers (gummi pfledge on those) but for getting rid of interior squeaks and rattles. It's terrific.
