Default Keeping the Rubber Window Trim Spot Free?

Hey Guys,

Ok so i've been trying my best to keep my fiesta spot clean, however some things just seem very difficult to come out. I used This rainx spray on the side windows once and didn't really like the results and im wondering if the spots are from the chemicals on the rain x spray... Either way have you seen this? I dont know if you can tell from the picture but there are some spots that are pretty deep in there I've even used: Mother's Back to Black and that didn't seem to do much..

Here's a pic of my trim:



I've also noticed some "deep water droplet" spots on my windows that only really show up if i spray windex while im cleaning the windows. Those deep spots can't seem to be removed how do you remove these spots!! HELP! lol

The pic really doesn't show much. In those rare times that I wash the exterior of my car I will use some type of trim (usually silicon base) polish to brighten the black vinyl trim and rubber window seals. It only last a short time.

What you might try is testing silicon spray on an unseen part to see what it does. Perhaps the underside of the rear bumper.

Turtle Wax Express Shine works well for me. It keeps mine clean and gives them a slightly smoother look vs. the dry rubbery look. In fact, I use Express Shine all over my car after I wash it and in between washes. Best stuff ever!

I switched from Mothers Back To Black and now use Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber care.

Anyone know of anything to keep it clean for a long time? Iv tried Ultima Tire & Trim Guard Plus and back to black but they only seem to last a short time. Las Vegas sun is brutal on it and neither can seem to make it threw a carwash
