Hi ,

I have a PRHT MX5 2013 - The roof seals do not leak however one of them in parts has turned a shade of off white ( no its not polish / car wax )

Does anybody know the best product to get rid of the white staining ?

Thanks,

Adam.

Baby oil works and keeps them soft

Or Vaseline, I keep a tub in the garage…

Thank you both but do these products clean aswell as moisturise ?

I wipe it down and then I use Gummi Pfledge it’s water based so doesn’t tend attract the dust like grease based products can.

For cleaning Meguiars All Purpose Cleaner followed by

Auto Glym Vinyl & Rubber Care, the one with the yellow label. Does the job perfectly.

Baby oil and Vaseline are both mineral oil based so may rot rubber. Armor All is silicone trim spray, dead easy to apply with a damp cloth, and great for car trim and plastics like garden furniture

“303 Aerospace Protectant” is great stuff! not cheap but long lasting.

I had my hood replaced recently on my 18 year old MK1. The guy fitting it commented that the rubber seals looked like new
