Default Rubbers bleeding

Over the past few weeks when it's rained my window rubbers have bled onto my paintwork, which is a bugger to get off, does anyone use, or have any suggestions on what I could put on them?

Which window rubbers do you mean exactly?

Is the paint work well cleaned and waxed? That should help with removing anything that shouldn't be there.

My Escort was the same recently, I used Tar remover on the rubbers to get all the guff off them, seemed to have sorted it out

Yeh, it's only started recently which is strange, but will give the tar remover a go see if that does the trick, is frustrating being a white car as it shows up so well!

It's mainly the rear passenger windows but there is a little off the back surround, cars recently been waxed and polished, but if it's sat for a day or two it's almost like the polish has taken in the dirt
