mplavery Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Might give this a go ..CarPro PERL coat protectant http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/engine-and-exterior/carpro-perl-coat-protectant/prod_932.html Also If anyone tried Chemical Guys Hyper dressing ? Only issue is that the reviews some people say that it washes off easy http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/interior/plastic-and-trim-dressings/chemical-guys-g6-hyper-dressing/prod_1337.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Gtechniq C4 permanent trim restorer- it's the mutts nuts, albeit expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter richards Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 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 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232149374012?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
