What to use on weatherstripping?
Hey guys, I'm thinking about what product I should decide on using to maintain the rubber weatherstripping on a 2014 Kia Sorento. It's currently in like new condition and my goal is to keep it that way. I'm hoping I can use something I already have on hand.
The options I'm considering are:
-D180 Leather Cleaner & Conditioner
-Hyper Dressing
-Megs Ultimate Black lotion
-Megs D156
-Megs D115
-Megs QID
-TW Endura Trim Coat
I'm looking to use something that doesn't attract dirt and leaves the rubber looking good, protected, and dry to the touch. Which product would you choose from that list of options? I'm leaning towards a certain 1, but would like to hear what you guys think.
Question for Bob. Does M40 attract dirt? How would you rate it for use on weatherstripping? Is it a must have or can it be substituted?

I use megs vinyl and rubber protectant. Doesn't seem to attract dust anymore than anything else to me. I also put Vasaline on then in the winter to prevent the doors from freezing

I use Griot's Vinyl Dressing on the weatherstripping in my cars but any of those would likely do fine as well.

•I like Meguiar's M40, 303AP, and Optimum's
Opti-Bond for protection on most types
of weatherstripping.
(For EPDM, it's usually: 1Z Einszett's Gummi Pflege...
BTW: Supposed to be made by a "different Company"
starting 2016)

If I'm the "Bob":
•Does M40 attract dirt?
-I keep in mind where "weather"-stripping
is generally located; and what it's
intended use is for...at those locations.
Note:
Before applying either of the above
listed protectants, I'll use Meguiar's M39.

I use APC to clean them up, and Adams super VRT. I probably won't purchase it again when I am out though. I like it, think it lasts, just think there are other products just as good for less.

Re: What to use on weatherstripping?
Thanks guys. And since the weather here never gets to freezing levels I'm probably going to go with D180 after 1st giving it a good cleaning with APC@10:1
I like the fact that it has conditioners which would hopefully make it a bit similar to M40. Plus I figure something is better than nothing in the longrun, as long as it's not going to ruin it
And yes I was referring to you, Bob. I value your opinion when it comes to Meguiars products.👍🏽
