Faded window liner/skirts
Hey all,
The window skirts/liners (those black seals on the outsider of the window on the door) have faded a bit and was wondering if anyone can suggest a way to bring them back up to a black. some sort of dye or paint maybe? Forever black exterior trim dye possibly? Im all up for anything, even painting them if that is a plausible idea lol

Megiuars Gold Class Trim Detailer does a pretty reasonable job of making the window seal strips black again (as well as any other exterior black rubber/plastic bits). If you rub a couple of coats on over a few days, it lasts for quite a while too. It's obviously not as good as putting new window seals on, but it's still a hell of an improvement.

Mothers "Naturally Black" is the best product I've used for this. My trims were all a faded grey colour but I brought them back to a nice deep black. It wears off after a while though. You'll have to keep applying about once a month to keep it looking brand new.

It may look "too" cheap but it's only cheap relative to being Ripped off...

yeah thought so dasic, the ones that go on the outside that fade are worth 80 something off the top of my head each! a group buy would be amazing! lets start organising?

Really? Its states they are the weathershield which I would imagine be on the outside.
Oh and yes, I'll be interested in a group buy, I didnt get a chance (probably luckily) to order them yesterday.
