All I can say is, this is MB's Waxilit and was sold to me as the correct product to treat the felt areas of the window seals/tracks where the window moves through while being opened and closed. I also know a similar product is used in wood furniture repair when they do not want glues, etc. to stick to viewed areas. I have used it twice since I purchased it. Only a small amount of it is necessary, in fact I found on one window too much keeps leaving marks on the glass until some of the Waxilit wears off.

If I am not mistaken, I asked the forum quite awhile ago about how to use the stuff. No response so I went forward and put too much on. I learned from that. Used in a small (reason for the small quantity dealer wanted to sell) amount there is no window noise and no film. I suppose it could be used on the tracks but depending on the area being lubed I use sunroof paste and synthetic grease.

The container I have is one of those, "it will last a few life times".

You now know as much as I know about this stuff. Hopefully, one of the MB Techs will be able to either confirm I am using it correctly or straighten both of us out . . .
