Restore external weatherstrip rubber seals

Hi

The rubber seals on my 2010 C63 have faded somewhat due to the sun. Is there any product that can revive/restore the rubber? I can't imagine getting new seals will be cheap.

Thanks in advance

This stuff is great. There’s another product I’ve used that actually dyes the trim (forget the name) but I didn’t like it because it streaks a bit and if you get it on anything else it’s terrible to remove.

Try 303 AEROSPACE PROTECTANT. It is a powerful UV protectant and restores and beautifies trim, rubber, vinyl, plastics etc. It is easy to use just spray or wipe on and wipe completely dry. Needs to be reapplied periodically.

Get thee to your nearest Honda dealer and acquire Shinetsu Grease. Magical stuff, a pure silicone base with none of the solvents that degrade rubber, natural or synthetic. More work to apply (apply evenly but thinly, ensure 100% coverage, massage it gently, bare fingers work best, then wipe off excess and gently buff) but resurrects the dead and protects long term. Seals on my 2009 Colorado look like the day I bought it, been treated every other year.
