Trans fluid on rubber is a no-no

[kenyon wills <imperialist60@xxxxxxxxx>]

Stay away from this!!

The fluid will evaporate, and smells funny, leaving the
material worse than before.  I was told about this when I
woned a german car with black plastic bumpers and tried it.
 What a miserable experience.  This was suggested to me by
a body man that obviously didn't have to live with the cars
that he did this to.  The bumpers aged faster than they had
before and looked worse.

Use Clear Guard (or something else that's advertised to do
this job) in the clear spray bottle, and you'll be ahead. 
Once the stuff's cracked, it's cracked.
