Hi all
Until I source replacement rubber window trims for the acty I need to clean up some overspray / general grime from the existing ones I have.
Will acetone on cotton buds or cloths be safe to use or likely to cause damage to the rubber?
Thanks in advance
Phil

Phil - I tend to use cellulose thinners but carefully (test a small area first) a fine scotchbrite pad will work in the more stubborn areas but again with care - you may well be better off with a slow drying panel wipe for general cleaning of rubbers / trims - some paints dependant upon how thickly applied to trims / rubbers will shell off sometimes with assistance of a sharpish blade - take care with any solvents when used against coloured trim or plastics has sometimes these are supplied in a transparent base and then painted to match other trim use of some solvents can remove the paint from the trim - finally if all else fails you can paint trim with products like those supplied by the furniture clinic and I have produced some pretty spectacular results with their products before today which are excellent value for money - they can even colour match to sample and the products can be air brushed / sprayed or aerosol format for ease - link below and just interrogate me if you need further info / help - Chris www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/ |

Baby wipes are worth a shout too, they seem great at shifting muck and also spots of paint!

Cheers both, I'll investigate further.
I didn't even think about possibility of painting them.

I'll contact them directly too so if you they get back to me before you get chance I'll update accordingly. Cheers Phil |
