Renewing Rubber Seals
What is the best product to get rubber seals looking black again?
The rubber seals on my car are still pliable and in good condition except that they look light gray with areas of whitish discoloration and I'd like to make them look nice and black again without damaging them.

I go over seals with paint thinner on a rag to clean them followed by wd40 to protect and shine...only a quick wipe with the thinner, you don't want your rubber to swell

Follow-up: I have been using the WD40 and it really works. I've still got a long way to go to finish, but they really turn shiny and black. Looks great!

Gummi Pflege Stift is the appropriate product for this.
