This makes me wonder.  I have always just used the standard metal boot
clamps.

I have my drivelines next to me on the floor.  The Red Line CV-2
Synthetic I used looks bright red when new.  After running in my
joints (inner and outer) it is no longer red but a dull brown.  It
still feels like the new stuff.

In places away from the joints where all the action is, the grease
still looks like new.  I am wondering if the color change is due to
the shear that the joint subjects the grease to or if some water gets
past the boots and effects the grease.
