Rubber Seals Perishing - wavey.dave - 02-05-2015 03:01pm

noticed today that the rubber seals below the windows (external) have gone hard and brittle, and the rubber is perishing.

Anyone else come across this?

What sort of detergent do you use to wash the car and do you frequently use a snowfoam lance?

I use Meguiars Gold Class shampoo and have never used a snow foam lance. I also use autoglym glass cleaner.

Then you can rule that out as the cause as the detergent used in snowfoam can be extremely caustic - enough for it to eat it's way out of some containers!
