Plastic and rubber care
Deeper colour and supple seals.
Exterior plastic and rubber care at AVP Autopflege near Zurich for faded trim, dry weather seals and a clean, natural finish.
Plastic and rubber care
Read the material before restoring its appearance.
Exterior plastics and rubber seals lose colour and flexibility through ultraviolet exposure, weather and unsuitable cleaning products. Different polymers require different care.
We clean the surface fully before applying a compatible dressing or seal treatment, aiming for an even, natural finish rather than a greasy layer.
When it fits
When trim has faded and seals need care.
Plastic and rubber care is useful for sound materials that have become dry, pale or difficult to maintain.
Restore depth without artificial shine.
Clean trim receives a compatible finish that evens its tone.
Keep rubber clean and supple.
Suitable care reduces drying, sticking and seasonal freezing of sound seals.
Support materials under ultraviolet stress.
Regular care helps slow the weathering that turns exterior trim grey.
Process
Clean, restore and protect the material.
Material identification comes before deep cleaning, treatment and a final residue-free check.
Identify
We distinguish plastic types, rubber seals and any coated or painted trim.
Clean
Old dressing, road film and embedded contamination are removed carefully.
Treat
A compatible product is applied evenly and allowed to settle into the material.
Finish
Excess residue is removed and seals are checked for damage or sticking.
Honest assessment
Care cannot reverse failed material.
Cracked rubber, brittle trim, missing texture and severe ultraviolet damage may require replacement or repair.
We restore sound material where possible and identify damage that a dressing would only conceal briefly.
