Title: Manky Rubber
Post by: Zxrob on January 9, 2021, 22:02
Guys and girls

Have tried various things to tidy up/bring back to life the black hard rubber surrounds on the top of the doors/windows without success, they still look pitted and dull, anyone found a successful remedy

possibly random post of the day.

but here goes. (caveat, it requires an element of trust me now, believe me later)
meguiars NXT metal polish. (removes the oxidisation etc)
Top off with plastic, vinyl or rubber care product of choice. OR! black shoe polish.
