Abstract: A composition to lubricate or preserve rubber materials having, by weight, 5-10% graphite, 0.5-10% of a titanate ester and the balance isopropyl alcohol. A rubber material is lubricated or preserved by the steps of applying such a composition to a rubber material and allowing the composition to adhere to the rubber material. The composition may also contain 0.5-5% by weight of a fluorocarbon polymer and/or 0.02-5% by weight of a UV stabilizer. The composition and method are particularly suited for lubricating and/or preserving rubber windshield wiper blades.
