FAQs
What is the main purpose of this lubricant?
Its primary purpose is to lubricate awning rail zippers and tracks, ensuring smooth operation. It also serves to protect and prolong the life of rubber seals and can provide a gloss finish to various surfaces.
Can this product be used on car tires?
While it can be used on rubber, it is not specifically designed as a tire dressing. It is best suited for seals, trim, and plastic/synthetic rubber components found on caravans, motorhomes, and similar vehicles.
Is this product a cleaner?
No, this product is a lubricant and protectant. It does not have cleaning properties and should be applied to clean surfaces for best results.
How often should I apply the lubricant to rubber seals?
The frequency depends on environmental exposure. Periodically check the seals for dryness or stiffness and reapply as needed, typically every few months or after significant weather exposure.
What is the volume of the product?
The product comes in a 100ml can.
Will this leave a strong smell?
No, the product is formulated to be odourless.
Can I use this on my car's interior upholstery?
Yes, it can be used on upholstery to provide a gloss application, but test in an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility.
Troubleshooting
Lubricant leaves white marks on dark surfaces.
Ensure the surface was clean before application and that the product was allowed to dry fully. Wipe away any excess with a clean, dry cloth.
Awning zipper still stiff after application.
Check for any physical obstructions or damage in the zipper track. Apply a second, light coat of lubricant, ensuring it reaches all moving parts of the zipper.
Product appears to evaporate quickly.
This is normal for a fast-drying spray. For surfaces requiring longer-lasting protection, reapplication may be necessary periodically.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This lubricant is specifically formulated for compatibility with most plastics, synthetic rubbers, and rubber seals. It can also be safely applied to PVC, upholstery, wood, and metal surfaces. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on painted or delicate surfaces.
Setup/Application:
- Ensure the surface is clean and dry. While not a cleaner, applying to a dirty surface may trap grit.
- Shake the can well before use.
- Hold the can upright and spray from a distance of 15-20cm.
- For awning rails, spray directly onto the zipper teeth or track.
- For seals and trim, spray onto a clean cloth and then apply to the surface, or spray lightly and evenly.
- For a gloss finish, apply a thin, even coat.
- Allow to dry for a few minutes. No buffing is typically required for lubrication, but light buffing may enhance gloss on trim.
Care:
Store the can in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Keep the nozzle clean; wipe with a dry cloth if any residue builds up.
