Nothing seem to actually take care if it until I used Vinylex.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

What do you use to keep your weatherstripping looking black? Mine looks faded in some parts.
Also, what about the other black trim exterior pieces? Some are showing wear. i.e. front vents by intercooler, etc. Is there a product to apply that would bring out the black again?
Thanks,
Adam
I use a product from Meguiars called "Endurance". It is billed as a tire dressing, but it works great on black trim. I have found that on the black trim as well as the tires, that after it is applied, it needs to be wiped down to remove the excess. After it is rubbed down, it does not feel greasy or slippery, and does not attract dust.
I've tried a lot of different products and the best product on black trim is Vinylex. I had some strange spotting on the trim around the windows of my 996. Nothing seem to actually take care if it until I used Vinylex.
Have you tried the BMW lubricant? Toolpants at one time posted the exact name of this product. I have never tried it but have found his posts to be highly accurate and of value!--Good luck
Gummyfledge iI believe is made by Z1 and should still be available from any detailing products site. As far as aerospace 303 it usually availabile at any place you can find vinylex, pep boys etc.
