Exterior rubber cleaner/preservative.
Can anyone recommend a product to clean and protect black rubber exterior items such as window and door seals? Something with weather resistance.
Autoglym do a vinyl and rubber care but it reads like it's for the interior. |

Hi.
Start with a really good clean with an "All Purpose Cleaner" using something like an old toothbrush to get them really clean. Then use Gtechnic C4 and ideally cover the car/put it in a garage overnight to allow the coating to cure. If you've never heard of Gtechniq, they are a small company based between Northampton & Daventry and make many excellent products: https://www.gtechniq.co.uk/about-us/ https://www.gtechniq.co.uk/shop/auto...trim-restorer/ Hope that helps and Good Luck.

Thanks Andy.
Is it definitely suitable for rubber? The trim mentioned seems to be solid. |

It's mentioned and recommended on the Detailing World forum (https://detailingworld.co.uk/). There's a fair few of us on here that are on there also - and yes, I have the same username.
Give Gtechniq a ring and ask. I've found them to be honest, decent folks to deal with. Looking forward to the photos . |
