What products really work to help those rubber seals/trim keep their luster and protect from sun damage?

for example, the outer window seal or the rubber trim on the roof rails.

thanks

 

Ultima just released a new sealant for trim and tires. Reviews look good but have yet to try it. Opti-Seal also is good for protection.

 

Adam's VRT is great and its got UV protectants in it.

I first clean the black trim using a 50/50 isopropyl alcohol and filtered water mixture. Once everything has a matte finish I apply Zymol Tyre. This contain a natural shea and cocoa butter as a moisterizer. The result is a soft matte look. What's nice is that it contains no chemicals that will dry out the rubber over time. You apply it once a month after the desired look is achieved.

 

Let me know if any of you need some Zymol.

 

Hmm,

what zymol can you get?

 

some of the higher end products.

estate waxes ,etc..

 

Phil, when did you become an authorized zymol reseller? You're not on our master list.

 

I'm going thru a couple of master distributors per Zymol instructions.

 

Who did you talk to at Zymol? Who is the "Master" Distributor? Don't mean to give you a hard time; it's just that this is not usual Zymol protocol. You are a Swissvax reseller and Zymol would never allow you to sell their product knowing you're selling Swissvax. Zymol products are only unconditionally guaranteed through an "Authorized" Reseller/Detailer; not through a 2nd party reseller.

 

Wax guarantee's are hollow imho. I buy products for their capabilities not the promise of a warranty.

What is the turn around time Phil, can it be added to my up coming order?

 

Wurth rubber care

 

My favorite trim conditioning is Duragloss #265 Ultimate Conditioning Spray. Long lasting, quick drying, and is readily available at CarQuest and NAPA without having to mail order.

Majestic Solutions Poly Protectant is also great stuff.

 

What do you guys use to get wax off of the weather stripping? I have some hard to reach spots that have wax residue left over from the last wax job. I can't seem to get anything on the rubber with enough pressure to get rid of it. Any suggestions?

 

Here is an update the Einszett Gummi Pflege was made and designed for rubber seals etc.

You apply it let is sit and either wipe off the excess or add more if it's not enough.
