Rubber window trim

Anyone know what's best to restore the window seals on a mk1? I mean the ones around the windscreen, rear windows, rear screen and rear windows. They all seem to have little spots on them and they look dull.

I've tried hot water and soap/bubble bath :) but it hasn't worked. Can anyone recommend a good product? Auto Glym vinyl and rubber care? Meguairs trim cleaner? Or anything else?

Thanks.

After trying out a huge amount of 'back to black' style products, I found this.

Since I tried it first, I wouldn't even go near anything else, even Meguiar's is very poor compared to this stuff.

You use very little, so it lasts forever, and it works wonders on trim, seals & vinyl!
The beading lasts weeks too! Highly recommended! :)

Thanks for the reply!

Will give this stuff a go. Well worth the money if it does as you say! You know anywhere to get it on the high street? Any motor factors etc? Not sure ill see it this side of the new year if I order online!

Cheers

Yeah, it's one of my favourite products! I use it on my tyres aswell, it's great!

That's the only real downfall, I'm certain the only place you can get it is online, and even then it can be hard to find! Definitely worth the wait though, nothing I've used comes close to it!
