Which sealer for around the cab exterior?

[Wingingit#1]

Where the body joins the cab on our adria the dealer was asked to tidy up some of the sealer but made a complete pigs ear of it so i'm gonna do it myself.
But what sealer do i need ? Silver Adria , so i need a light grey tube of squirt .
Any help much appreciated.

I didn’t think Adria used coloured sealant, what colour did the dealer who messed it up use.

I have used RV61 to good effect, it is easy to use and work and is as effective as any other product.

I don’t know if it’s available in colours

Sikaflex 522, its made for that very job, and its what i used to do it on mine. Clean-up with a cut off piece of garden hose to give a neat finish.

scrape off all of the old sealant and clean thoroughly with meths, before applying the new stuff on a dry day.

Sorry just read the silver bit! Dont think they do it in silver or grey

I have been using grey Dekasyl MS-2 and Dekaseal1512 on our Adria Compact when adding solar and sealing things such as the outside shower point. Their Dekaclean Ultra cleaner/solvent is far and away the best product I’ve used for both removing existing or new mastic and general cleaning.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys , it was grey originally and the dealer used a mix of grey and then when they ran out they used white so its half and half now .

Hopefully the weather is gonna be kind enough for me to get on with this now

I may be out of date but as far as I know Puraflex only make White or Black! YES I would recommend it to stick and seal anything
Edit ….. yes they make GRAY but not sold in Toolstation

I’m sealing mine up today.

On advice from here I’ve got sikalastomer 710.
It’s a butyl sealant so stays flexible.

It’s a pig to work with but does the job

Does butyl skin over ? Or is it the stuff used on old caravans that stayed like chewy and got dirty over time ?

Done the same job on mine today. Only needed a thimble full for a minor repair. I used some 522 I had leftover from a panel installation. I abraded the surface and cleaned it all with acetone. The repair was where that non setting black goo had burst through the factory sealant.

C’mon, they were probably only trying to be inclusive of all sealants?
