Well it's really good at breaking down dirt, thats for sure !!!!
As far as rubber, probably not good for it, but it sure does clean the hoses well !
Who really cares on a 20 year old car though.. it worked real well cleaning ! For a job like my engine bay, WD-40 works much better than alot of "engine cleaning sprays" or "All Purpose cleaners" out on the market !!
