New Porsche Seals Gray?

[David Inc.]

So I've been putting a lot of new rubber seals on my car, and I keep seeing that the new Porsche ones are rather gray, like they've been impregnated with dust, somehow. Is this something that comes off in time or will it need some sort of treatment?

My tail light gaskets are very rough especially, they range from grey to white blotches, very bizarre.

Mold release agent from making them. Should clean up with soap and water.

Thanks. I've noticed some are still a nice, solid, black, probably resulting from a different manufacturing process then.

303 Aerospace works great to remove the white residue and also add protection to the seals. Gummi Pfledge is also a great product for seals around the doors and hatches.
