Title: Faded rubber
Post by: phil197 on October 10, 2012, 09:03:19 pm

Hi guys,

I was cleaning the car at the weekend and found the rubber around the rear windows "3 door GTI" to be getting rough and look as if there faded, can I bring them back up to scratch or will the rubbers need to be replaced.

Any advice on best products to use to restore rubber would be appreciated

Many thanks

Phil

Have heard good reports about gtechniq trim restorer. Supplies will be difficult to get ahold of because the UK factory burned down.

Swis wax seal feed brilliant stuff,you have to apply it and buff it off and keep the car out of the weather for a few hours while doing so or it will go streaky but apart from that a top product
