I have done a number of searches, but can't really find a thread discussing this issue.

What do you use to clean them and what do you use to keep them flexible to extend their life?
 
Any of these products will do a great job cleaning and protecting.


  • CarPro PERL
  • Wolfgang Exterior Trim
  • Ultima Tire & Trim
  • Pinacle Vinyl & Rubber
  • Meguiar's Ultimate Trim Restorer
  • Meguiar's #40

:iagree: CarPro Perl and Sonax trim restore are my go to products.
 
You can use almost any trim dressing. I started using Gummi Pfledge by 1Z... However, I recall reading a post by 1Z that GF doesn't really have any UV inhibitors, so for seals exposed to sunlight I tend to grab 303.

Cleaning anything rubber is best done with Tuff Shine tire cleaner IMHO.
 
My favorites (which most were mentioned)

PERL
UTTG
Carpro DLUX
 
For functional seals like door, trunk lid, and convertible top seals Gummi Pfledge every time. For exterior visible seals anything with UV inhibitors that makes them look clean and conditioned.
 
I use Pinnacle R&V dressing but my seals are actually rubber not that foam like material so it works really well for me.
 
Duragloss 531, nopareil in this application. It has UV protection and mildew reistance made to stand up to marine applications. Ultima Tire and Trim Guard is also good but 531 is my preferred product in this application. I've never tried DLUX on vinyl seals.
Wulf and 1Z are decent but not my first or second choice. The others, fugetaboutit.
