This is the best stuff, ya rub it on the window and roof seals, the black rubber, think of it as hand lotion for your car.

Ya get this at your Honda dealer...

It's about time you answer it. . . . . it only took you one year!

Of course any silcone grease works just as well and can be bought at any auto parts store for less.

I know, what the helll, I must be slacking.

Oh no, only the JDM silcone will work because it has special secret ingrediants in it.

A timely thread. I just made the appointment for the pre-winter fluid change tomorrow at my dealer. After that, the only driving I do will be to get her home.

Hello and thanks for a great write up.
I have found that one of my least favorit things to do is store my car, but at least with this check list I think I am doing it pretty well.
My question is this year I will be getting a new set of rims and tires, so I pull my stock rims and tire off and I am letting the suspension and brakes just hang for a few months. Do you see any problem with this?
I pray it will not take a year for someone to answer this one question
Thanks for all the good advise so far.

By this year I presume you mean in December. My first thought is why not just wait until Spring to buy the new set? They are really big to be putting under the Christmas tree. If it were me I'd leave on the old wheels and tires until I was ready to use the new set.
