Of which there will be many.

The Honda tube does have much more product than the 50ml GM emulsion, but not $50 worth.
As I stated earlier, I would have had to start using a second bottle of the GM stuff but just finished all car seals with my small amount of Honda grease that the dealer gave me. I apply the grease quite liberally.

ITR_Gary, what kind of a price could you get for us on the Honda tube? Maybe a GB? I prefer the Honda grease as it is easier to apply. I didn't like the GM applicator. I liked using my finger to put the lube where I wanted it ... kind of like applying sun tan lotion.

Can't help myself, but dare I ask where do you put the sun tan lotion?!?!?!?

(HINT: You don't have to use the applicator that comes with the GM stuff. Use your fingers.)

I tried that but my finger can't reach the bottom of the bottle.

I'd love to tell you I get a great deal or that I can arrange a great deal, however the powers that be at my dealership... Lemme see, how can I put this politely... They um. They're so. Errr.

On second though, I don't think I can put it politely but let it suffice that I don't think that I can be of much help in this area...

I did mine yesterday. Wow, there are a lot of rubber seals on this car! I'm going to do this more often than once a year, at least where the side windows meet the convertible top. It looked pretty dried out; I hope I didn't wait too long.

Six bucks VERY well spent.

This is next on my list. I couldn't find 303 anywhere so I ordered it from the US (Ended up paying $50 Canadian once I got bent over on brokerage), but I got the cleaner and the protectant.

Got myself some Meguiars scratch stuff, and some Plexus.

Had Zaino forever of course, but I'm going to try and give that a go this afternoon since its so damn beautiful outside.

Zellers carries it and when I was looking for the seal lube, I found that the GM dealership Jack Carter in Calgary on Macleod/Glenmore had super large bottles of 303 in their parts department
