Anyone got any tips on cleaning the plastic seals etc on your widows/doors. Think I may have let them go a bit too far. Tried the normal warm water and washing up liquid but to no avail.
Any tips?

I've recently bought some of this from Screwfix and it comes up great.

When they get grubby it's hard to bring them back, a cream cleaner works well, solvent cleaner is also good but be careful not to get either on the rubbers.
Neither product should be used regularly either as they wear/burn the dirty finish layer off, and that layer isn't very thick
solvent

If they still look dull then owatrol polytrol can bring a bit of life back to them

I use T cut on all my windows and doors,then I get a damp sponge and apply Turtle wax...not letting it dry off though,then buff to a shine.

Works really well,and beads off in the bad weather.
