Might give this a go ..CarPro PERL coat protectant

Also If anyone tried Chemical Guys Hyper dressing ?

 

Only issue is that the reviews some people say that it washes off easy

I bought Aerospace 303 the other day, picked it up yesterday so won't get to try it until the weekend. Read a few good reviews on it, and not expensive if it turns out to be cack :) was £12 with free postage

As above, this is what I'm going to use on them and see how that goes.

as with any product its not going to be permanant, even the C4 dont last that long and as said is expensive for a tiny amount, i think if they are dry its going to be a replace job , if they are available

 

Yea I may have to, I will call up Toyota today and gets some prices though I will give some products a try first as you never know

A home solution applied by some in the OAP guide to maintaining your classic car is a dilute lemon juice wipe to clean rubbers followed by a gentle massage with olive oil.

 

Yea I have heard people use baby oil too so that might be worth giving that a go :thumbs:

I asked this question a year ago too and never got a definitive answer on how to restore only how to make them look shiny or cleaner so i'll be following this and your progress mate.

 

Will keep you updated guys, I will let you know what I buy and how it works

I replaced all mine last year, prices weren't to bad to a certain extent. I can check my old ones and if they are good condition I'll let you know

Aerospace 303 here, got a small pot and large spray bottle for about £12. It's been brilliant on all my rubber seals and other mouldings.

 

Stonkin aka Invisible Touch Detailing uses it so comes with a high professional recommendation :)
