When I used to pay $1.75 to get my car greased at the service station, it
was SOP to spritzer all rubber bushings with rubber lube. It did reduce
groaning and squeeking for a while.
One can still buy the stuff; I've no idea what is in it. I considered
using it to help me install the windshield in my bugeye, then decided to
use silicone spray because the auto parts store only had rubber lube in
gallons.
