Black Trim Around Windows
Hey guys, what do you recommend for conditioning the black trim around the driver and passenger windows? I've noticed that I have some area of oxidation? (what it looks like) on that black trim and what to put something on it to address it.

I use the "Nextzett Gummi Pflege Stift" with my rubber trimmings, it helps preserve them very well. Once already oxidated, Adam's VRT helps temporarily, it's going to be a repeated maintenance affair.

You can try some optimum hyper spray polish.
It is safe for plastics and trim and used to clean them. I only use optimum polishes for that reason. I don’t have to tape any trim work so I don’t get it on there and stain it like most other polishes will do. After that maintain it with the gummi stift |

I've been watching a LOT of YouTube on reviews and long time reviews of a lot of these "back to black" type products. It seems most of them are not really worth it, and a couple (that are dye type products) seem better but still after 4-6 months still don't last. If I can get them replaced for a couple hundred bucks I'll just replace them and be done with it. Will call the dealer next week and ask. |

if you want a trim restore that will last.
I use Solution Finish. It is a dye that will restore and keep it black for about a year before being reapplied. Just use gloves as it will dye your hands and follow the directions correctly. big bottle https://www.autoality.com/store/pc/S...z-343p7036.htm 1oz this would probably be enough https://www.autoality.com/store/pc/S...z-343p7037.htm |

Both. I know they're not the same material as the weatherstripping, but this seems to work, no whitish spots so far.

Great, I'll give it a shot as these were already in decline on my 2016 when I got it in late 2017. How often do you apply the Stift to those exterior pieces?

Twice a year, because the plan is four times, once every season, but I'm so forgetful...
