Door Seals and rubber

[luke667]

Hey guys,



listen i was wonderin, for all the window/door seals and other areas, what would be best to use on them? Megs Tyre shine, or baby oil? or any other product?

303 Aerospace Protectant. It won`t give you a crazy shine, but will be the best choice for preserving the seals.

Gummiphledge (spelling???) available at BMW dealership parts counter.

thanks!

I use Poorboy`s Natural Look. I am happy with the appearance. I really need to try the 1Z Gummipflege product.

The BMW stuff is great, Dr Wack sells something similar.

baby oil will destroy rubber over time

[DantePasquale]

if you plan on keeping the car for a few years or longer, 303 is one of the best.;) :xyxthumbs

Another 303 fan here :)

I have a convertible and therefore lots of rubber (on the vehicle that is).



I use BMW gummiphledge - very cheap and an excellent product. Just ask for it at the nearest BMW dealership.

GM makes a silicone emulsion for rubber door seals and its economical, works great and lasts. I have a bottle in the shop if anyone wants the pt # . Keeps the seals soft and helps prevent squeaks and freezing. The part I like is you apply and rub in so no residue on clothes.

a wise man once said to use rubbing alcohol (had a high falutin reason as well), dress with what you want (no silicone oils)

There is good silicones "What is a "good" silicone? Look for the one of the siloxane or amino functional family" Prolly quoted by the same wise man .. RK
