    Starting to notice some discolouration on the exterior seals around the windows, any recommendations on treatment to bring them back to life?

    I like Adam's VRT for rubber and plastic trim. A number of others here recommend Chemical Guys products.

    chem guys exterior & interior is pretty good. I use it on tires, exterior plastic and rubber, and restored my dash panel with it. doesn't smell very good, but its pretty effective. Ive heard Black Wow is great also.

    No smell, works great at keeping seals like new and restoring.

    Ditto. Would have been best to treat them with this every 6 months. This stuff is not cheap but is awesome and designed for those seals ... among other things.

    Someone determined that Rain X can cause this spotting. I have had it on all 3 of my B8 S4s. It can be removed with mineral spirits and then treated with protectant. I am using Armor All Outlast. But unfortunately, it eventually comes back.
