Shining up the window seals...

[martandem]

Hi all,

Do you have any recommendations on how to keep the window rubber seals (i.e. the bit on the exterior around the window) looking nice and shiny and new? When they are wet they look awesome, but as soon as they dry they go all dull again!

I have tried back-to-black, Simonz etc, but doesn't seem to work very well.
Anyone got any magic recipes on how to sharpen these up?

Thanks!

aerospace 303 on mine, or gummi pfledge

gummi pflege is for the internal door aperature seal, not exterior seals

ive tried 303 on mine and its crap, its excellent on my engine bay plastics but not on window scraper seals

gonna give AG BC a revisit soon i think, been using other things for quite a while and i dont know why i ever changed from it, its an excellent product

Thanks for the replies people....

Tried AG vinyl rubber care, not so good, find its better for interiors.
Have tried AG Bumber care, but i'd imagine thats similar to Simonz back to black bumber care is it not?....

Back to black is an aerosol, AG bumper car is a gel!-Works well when buffed off after!

Even when new they are not what I would really call shiny, main problem is finding a product that does not streak or run on them (lots listed in this thread will!) - personally I just use Zymol Titanium wax on mine at the same time as I wax the glass - which leaves a nice low gloss natural sheen and protection.

I use AG Bumper Care. It needs reapplying every now and again, but it works well.

Will give that a go then!...
No doubt Rich's solution is epic, but AG Bumper care might be a little cheapear during these times of crunching credit...

Wax the Glass? Can you do that? Windscreen and all?

Ha I used 476 on all my windows once! You should see the fricking water run off them! epic! No squeeks or streaking either.

Think I'll give that a go then!

I used to do all the glass including the screen, just the sides and rear now, rain x on the front.
