everytime i buy new rubber it leaves a glaze for sone reason but it bever used to, it seems to take a while before it stops leaving a glaze which means you have to wipes up lots.

any one know why???

i read on here that some rubber iS now dipped in silicone to keep it fresh .   i think this is true because my rubber looks shiny when i get it (SYR )

As in a slight film left after some strokes of the windows, goes after a second stroke? Excuse the sound of the sentance, but if so, it annoys me, and I only ever see it happen in winter.

Recently bought some new pulex rubber, and the squeegees seem to miss slightly on the first horizontal stroke.  I mean, I start at bottom-left of window, go up to top then across to top-right, then down (or in a little pattern, depending on width of pane). 
Thought the squeegees were getting old, and maybe the channels were slightly out of true, so bought some new pulex squeegees with rubber -- same thing!
anyone else getting this?

I read somewhere that the rubber goes off if not stored properly (air tight containers)

so perhaps the exterior rubber has gone off when being stored by suppliers?

I always just put it down to them being stored in powder, to keep them 'good'.
Goes pretty quick though, you can wash your rubber before you use it, this helps
