New Window seals - black muck

Post by salgarfi »

Hello,

My Honoria has had all her window seals replaced, but when it rains I get black streaks running down from them. I can clean these off, and presumably they will eventually stop streaking, but when I clean them a faint black shadow remains. I can use T-Cut to remove the black shadows, but does anyone know of something that's less abrasive?

Thanks,
Sal

Unusual for New seals to streak as you say, I've always used Armourall, a rubber auto cleaner which has protected my rubbers/seals and doesn't streak.
Hope this helps.

Use Autoglym SRP to clean the paint and then protect with a good quality hard wax like Autoglym HD wax.

I've looked at the Armour All poducts, but precisely, which one do yu mean?
