Rubber seal conditioner/protector

Post by Pondrew » Sun Feb 21, 2021 12:50 pm

Has anyone used any of this?

I've been recommended Gummi Pflege, or 303 rubber seal protectant. Any recommendations?
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

Funny old thing I have some 303 on my breakfast bar as I’m about to use it on my leather bar stalls which it works great on. I also use it on my cars plastic and rubber. However I have never used gummie pflede!

I've used Sonax Gummi Pfleger on both cars and it works well. I think the 303 is more of an anti-UV coating, that would stop discolouration of plastics due to sunlight.

I half opened the roof and did all of the seals, front, side and rear, but don't apply the Gummi to your window seals, it'll leave a greasy mark. Also, once applied, I think it's worth giving it a squidge in with your finger and thumb, to make sure it's applied evenly, and let it dry for a few minutes before you close the door/boot/roof.
