VW Factory Fit Tow Hitch

at the risk of being indelicate, when I was doing my flying training on Bulldogs there was a rarely used similar shaped component inside an access panel, The engineers used to use a 'prophylactic' to keep it both clean and oiled when on the ground for long periods. Soldiers in the gulf war also used them on the end of their rifles to keep them clean of sand.

Whether your chemist will believe you are buying them for this purpose and what size you need, or the looks you will get on site while putting it on is your risk.

Just remember its fitted should you decide to demonstrate the benefits of the retractable towball appearing from under the car to another caravanning couple!

Would you recommend this method for 4x4 drivers who generally have  fixed balls and exposed equipment?

Do they hold up to in an exposed position or should I stick to WD40?  

If robust enough I would suggest a glow in the dark one for added safety.
