Hi

Has anyone had the same problem as myself, with the window seals discoloring and going all patchy and crap looking

I wondered if anyone knew how to rectify this, i presume it would be to strip the paint down and get them resprayed or something similar to that?

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

This has thrown me. Don't you mean the rubber seals?

I used rubbing compund and a wax applicator sponge, both can be picked up from your local motor factors for a few quid. Mask off you door or panel bellow the window seal, and dap the sponge in the rubbing compund and rub along your seals to remove the crap and mould off them.

Then wipe excess off with a dry cloth and use some rubber restorer.

I'm gonna have to do this soon. My roof trims are pretty bad too actually.




Window seal discoloured?

Most tenuous interpretation ever.

t-cut works too

I tried T-Cut when I first did mine.
I does work......eventually. It takes a lot of elbow grease.

Autosol is more abrasive therefore works a lot quicker.

I used t-cut and a very fine grade wire wool, works a treat.

Brilliant! You're almost as weird as me.

Isoprop or somesuch ought to remove the mildew/algae/monsters growing on the window trim & some sort of plastic dressing should protect them. Painting rubbery bits isn't the best solution.

Mind you, I knew one guy who used to restore worn carpets with an aerosol of paint...
