Seal rubbers on doors are turning green

[69Mach390]

interesting….. never heard of ‘Clorox’, did the rubbers return to normal colour and stay that way?

Clorox is a brand of bleach. So bleach wipes.

The Porsche dealership cleaned mine with Work Horse cleaner and gave me a bottle to use in case it happens again. I'd be careful using a product like Clorox as it can dry out certain materials and make them brittle. I have no idea if that would happen to these seals but figured I would mention it.

It cleans the rubber and make it normal color again, and stay black for a while, but it will come back eventually. I googled it when it happened to my ex-Taycan, but I haven't experienced on J1.2 yet.

If you're worry about the rubber get dry, apply rubber Seal Protectant after cleaning.

Thanks all. I’ve found the wipes on Amazon so will order, clean and seal with Gummi-Pflege.

Mine does this as well. My dealer sent a photo of what they use to clean it and it is a not available to the public mix of Xylene and Toluene in a combination I don’t feel like playing with.

Why? It smells really good.
That's what we ran our cars on back in the day when we went drag racing... oh the old times...

Just use it outside, and you'll be fine.

Considering I’m in the shop for a warranty repair or recall every six months I’ll just let them enjoy the aroma by themselves

Ceramic coated all the rubber. This should prevent future greening. The rubber just feels smoother
