I was wondering if anyone could tell me what products they use and would recommend to clean and condition the door seals and exterior trim. I have researched and found the following products but have no idea which ones would be the best to keep the seals and trim in great condition. The following are the products I was able to find for conditioning.

BMW’s Gummi-Pfledge

303 Aerospace Protectant

Meguiar’s No. 40 Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner & Protectant

Pinnacle Vinyl & Rubber Protectant


Your opinions would be greatly appreciated...

 

Hm, I should've done some of this before the harsh winter set in. Mine is cracking in some places. Sigh.

 

Anyone?

 

a lot of the detailers use the 303. good stuff, hard to find local, at least in orlando.

 

Thanks...I was hoping for someone's opinion before I just randomly picked one of the products. I will post the results once I have tried it. I appreciate your advice.

 

Smoofa if you want something locally get Vinylex which is made by Lexol. Very good stuff. You can find it at any Pep Boys. But I agree, 303 is some amazing stuff as well, only you have to order online.

303 is awesome

 

I agree. It's the only product I use...for door seals as well as the interior vinyl. None of the auto shops had it, but I found some a marine supply store. (the guy there said is is very popular with boaters, cause of it's superior UV protection)

 

I use Mother's Preserves Protectant and Mother's Back to Black. They both work great and can be found in most automotive stores. Keeps everything soft, flexible, black, and cleaner.

 

u can use it for the interior? and before i forget, what type of cleaner do use for the leather? i usually just pick one but is there any particularly good one?

 

you can use 303 for the interior. it gives a nice matte finish, not a shiny one like armor-all.

for leather many people use and recommend lexol leather cleaner and conditioner. they are two seperate products, not an all in one lotion.
