Rubber Cleaner - Seals

[Mr K]

What do you guys use on your rubber bits and bobs such as seals?

My rear door seals had gone a bit sqeaky (on realy rough road), so i gave them a quick clean which has stopped it 70%, just wondering what the best thing for rubber seals to clean and treat them was?

Its a common problem on A4s too, and someone was rating some american stuff that is silicon based i beleive and you apply it like the shoe polish with the foam aplicator mounted on the bottle, cant i find the thread or product? no!

No? No-one cleans their rubber bits and seals?

Ho-hum.

i just use a silicone spray ...it cleans, absorbs it into the rubbers and provides a layer of protection.

I use either:

Poorboys Trim Restorer

or

Meguiar's Endurance High Gloss Tyre Gel

With the megs use an old cloth and buff it off before you close your door or bonnet. With the PB let the stuff dry a bit then buff to shine with a soft cloth.

Word of warning don't use the silicon spray on seals around the engine bay or it'll mess up your lambda sensors prematurely.
AG bumper care, black wow and gumiflege(spelling) are all good.
