❔ QUESTION What are you using to brighten up your seals?

[alanfitzpatrick]

Hi All,
Despite only having my car a few months, my inner door seals by the wing mirrors are already looking tired and super faded. Any tips on bringing these back to life? I don’t know why they look so tired already?

Might just be rubber bloom. It's normal. Wipe off with mild soap detergent and it should be good to go.

This has been excellent for all of my faded plastics and rubber… automotive or otherwise.

I have used this on the S2000 over the years and have been very happy with it.

+1 for the 303 Aerospace, worked very well on past cars, even when I lived in FL and SC parking outside. (glad those days are over....)

Gummi Pflege is awesome for keeping those rubber seals around the windows and door frames fresh and moisturized. It's popular in the VW/Audi world, but I use it on all my vehicles as part of a yearly detail. It's easy to apply and ~$12 on Amazon.

Precisely what I came in to recommend -- JDM AF.

I've used 303 protectant before. Works great on kayaks.

CARPRO Perl. Also doubles as tire shine and for trim restoration, etc.

Same, this is popular stuff in the S2000 forums! Its great stuff. I use it on all my cars for years. Brought my old jeep seals around. Wipe it on when warm, let sit, overnight if possible, wipe excess off in AM.

The parts you describe are easily the poorest execution of a rubber product I have seen so far on a western made car. They are rough, porous , and present like the cheapest Chinese made crap they could find. These mirror door seals look and feel like they would be lucky to last 6 months. Definitely low rent , I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s not impressed

Isn’t that the British way? The battery pack for the McClaren P1 uses cheap batteries off of Amazon, bundled and linked, sealed together and charge 20-30k to replace. Subpar parts quality throughout. Design is there. Implementation is not.

This was recommended to me by the company that made my VW Camper.

Works a treat.
