I vacuumed out all the air vents and nooks and crannies around the hood and trunk to get out any leaves that get in there. I put in my winter mats. I put my winter emergency kit and blanket in the trunk. I just have to silicone the cars weatherstripping and I'm set for winter.

I didn't know they still carried it.
I had some a loooong time ago & really liked it.
I just may have to pick some up. Thanks

My last set I used for 2 years and they still looked fantastic when I sold them.
They do say in warmer temps they will wear down fast though.
, I took much better care of them when I had them

Thanks in advance Deane.

Thanks in advance Deane.

i know gm sells 2 types with the brush. one of them is a grease. u don't want that one... it will just smear everywhere. get the lubricant. see attached.
but u can do the same with a can by just spraying a rag or even paper towel. gets down to personal preference i guess.
