CV Boot Dressing

I punched this in and nothing came up so I thought I would ask/ throw it out there/ and get opinions.For years I have been waiting for one day to go into the local auto parts store and get CV Boot Dressing but to this day I still have not been able to find any. With that said when I can remember and now that I have a 4x4 and the wife with her front wheel drive I have always used tire shine spray foam in a can and have sprayed that on the boots if the wife’s car/s. I don’t remember often enough I don’t think and it’s a PITA to get to so I do not know if it makes a difference,, or if a person would remember more often how much of a difference it would make??. I am going to make a strong effort to do this every oil change now to see how much difference it makes? What else is out there and what has others use/d?? Thanks

 

I've replaced exactly 1 torn CV boot in the 20 years. That was from a stump grabbing it. What your doing isn't going to hurt anything but I can't believe it will make a huge difference in longevity.

The OEM boots are also a type of plastic which is supposedly good for 15ish years.
