Rubber seals

Years ago I used Vaseline on rubber. It left a greasy sheen but doesn't offer any protection. If I remember rightly, the seals on cars are made of EPDM ( I think that is the right acronym?) that may be damaged by petroleum products. Either way, I use 303 and it makes vinyls and rubber look like new while protecting it.
 
I like 303 for this type of application. The versatility of 303 on all types (not just auto) of leather, vinyl, and rubber is why I bought a gallon of the protectant. That should carry me into the next millenium.
 
I have not used petroleum jelly. But I do use Zymol Seal.



Longest term experience is with a '94 Dakota truck, started using Seal in '97. Today, the seals are soft as butter, no cracks, no abrasion. They look very very good, and feel soft.



Seal seams expensive, $17, but lasts a long time. I use it on several vehicles twice per year, and have 1/2 a bottle left.



I think this is a great product for rubber seals around doors and windows.

I’ve been told the same thing. Gummi-Pfledge from BMW is excellent for rubber seals.

303 is a company that makes several outstanding products. Their Aerospace Protectant is IMO the best UV shield available. You can get a free sample here
