Weathered rubber outer strips.. How to liven them up?
In reference to the weather strips around the windows.. What can I use to rejuvenate them?
They look rather weathered, even the rear screen seal which I only replaced about 12 months ago! I've tried gummi pflege and found it left it blotchy and didn't really help. Did I use this product wrong or should I be using a specific cleaner product?? Any help is appreciated as BMW want a fortune for new parts!!! |

I've been using AG rubber and vinyl care. Not the best stuff out there but certainly does the job your after. £6 or so

cheers guys, I have got some of the AG stuff knocking around somewhere so may give it a bash.
Also I'm looking closely at getting some AF revive, think it'll be an ideal allrounder.. still torn between that and carpro perl though!! |

A really under rated product imo. Another good one is Maxolen blue star A-Z. |

Have you given them a jolly good clean prior to applying any treatment/dressings?
A good scrub with APC before drying thoroughly is always a good bet, otherwise you could just be sealing in crud, hence the blotching. |
