Hey Everyone,

I wanted to see what you use for sealant on rubber exterior items? I've already used one things on my clients' vehicles BUT, I would like to know what you use.

Here is a pic of the Range Rover before I did anything to it.

I dont use a sealant on these areas, but like Poorboys Trim Restorer.

Well, I would like to know this one. When you wash the vehicle again, will the sealant run on the paint or will it be locked on the rubber? The wonderful Auto Magic stuff I have been using does run down on the paint after a wash OR if the vehicle sits out overnight and gets covered by dew. Ahhhhh.... Life in the humidity. NOT!

I found Black WOW and 303 runs .... so I went back to Poorboys. A light coat and a couple hours in sun and it seems to lock in. Now if it rains immediately, it gets quite slippery !

This is what it looked like when I was done washing it. Bad thing is, it needs a set of new tires.

Trust me. I advise all of my clients what I did on their vehicles. I also advise them "IF" there could be a problem on their vehicle as well.
