What does everyone use to keep the rubber door trim nice and soft and black? This would include the trim inside the trunk, and under the engine hood...



Thanks

For the interior seals I like Gummi Phlege the best. (available at BMW dealers) Wurths is also good. For exterior rubber Zaino is hard to beat.

110%. I use the exact same products for the exact same application. Very nice results.

I`m going in this Friday to get my License Plates, so I`d be curious about this stuff too!!!

I put Z16 on my rubber door seals 3 weeks ago and it still looks like I just applied it. Z16 seems to last a loooooooooong time. It also has UV protection, which is pobably a good thing on rubber.



I even detailed my engine compartment with Z16. Looks pretty awesome with all the black plastic that`s under my Bimmer`s hood.

Gummi Phlege is available through all BMW auto and motorcycle dealers. If they don`t have it on the shelf then they can order it. I can`t remember the cost. Nothing extroidinary. One aerosol can has lasted me at least two years.



It is a very thin, clear substance that I spray into a rag or applicator and then wipe on the soft seals. It doesn`t coat them as much as it seems to "absorb into" the seals. It makes them "blacker" and very uniform in color but doesn`t leave any type of fake shine that will wear off. You can feel and see the difference immediately and for several weeks after application. Hard to explain but the difference is amazing.



I have used it on my cars for years now and haven`t found anything better for soft seals.



I think, roughly translated, Gummi Phlege means simply, Rubber Care. Clever Germans.

I`m also a big fan of the Gummi Phlege. A very nice product. Beau was kind enough to send me some a few months back. Also thanks again to Brad for recommending this product to me a while back. Laters.

Beacuse the aerosol that you are speaking of is not the same form that I purchased this product in. ??? I special ordered this product through the local BMW dealership where I live. What I received was a tube in the shape of a toothpaste tube, nearly as large. The product is clear in color, with a consistency slightly thinner than Vaseline. Definately not an aerosol - this is weird. I paid $8.00 for the tube. I really love this product and it really does perform as described, but why the difference in form?



Brad - any thoughts on the difference here?

Dunno. Never tried the tube. I will look for it here and try to get some.

That would be great - let us know how you make out. I am especially curious. Thanks.
