Drivers side rubber seal ripped... fix?

JAY- when you're ready to dress up the plastic and seals, i recommend using a product called Aerospace303 or PrimaNero. either one, dillute in water 50/50 into a spraybottle and spray into your MF towel and apply. dries matte. i personally prefer Nero because it's more matte than aerospace303.

dont use armorall!

Not that I would, but just curious, why not armorall?

i speak from experience (this was back when i was a teen and didn't have much access to detailing products)..

first armorall leaves behind a greasy shiny mess. it makes visibility out of your windshield almost non-existent on a sunny day due to reflection of your dash onto the windsheild.

after application, top surface of panels have cracked after being exposed to the hot sun.

permanent stains left after water hits it... you would have to keep applying the crap or else it will look terrible with stain marks.

if one made the mistake of using armorall, get some dish soap or Griot's InteriorCleaner and wipe off all the crap. then get either Aerospace303 or PrimaNero and re-apply.

Good enough write-up for me!

you can also get 303 at boat stores like West Marine if you just want to pick some up locally. And it doesn't take much. A bottle usually lasts me 2 years taking care of 3 cars.
