White door seals can be cleaned using medical Vaseline, paraffin wax, or butter. Scratches on the car body: During daily use of the car, it is unavoidable to be scratched by hard objects, leaving marks on the paint. For example, zippers on a passerby's backpack or small stones kicked up while driving can leave minor marks on the paint. Coating treatment for scratches: Minor scratches are the most common on the car body, but they do not affect its appearance. In such cases, they can generally be ignored. You can take the car to an auto beauty shop for treatments like paint coating, which can restore some of the minor scratches on the paint.
As an experienced driver who has been behind the wheel for many years, I often encounter the issue of whitening door seals, which is usually caused by rubber aging and oxidation. I remember that gently wiping them with a damp cloth dipped in mild soapy water works quite well. For stubborn dirt, adding a bit of dish soap helps remove the white residue. After cleaning, applying a layer of petroleum jelly can restore shine and prevent cracking. However, avoid using oily substances like engine oil, as they can make the seals slippery and unsafe. Over the years, I've learned that maintaining door seals is quite important. Regular cleaning can extend their lifespan, especially after exposure to high summer temperatures when rubber is more prone to damage. Timely maintenance can save a lot on repair costs. It's a simple task to incorporate during regular car washes, and it helps improve door sealing and reduce noise. In short, this is a common minor issue that can be easily fixed with a little effort.
