what's best for rubber?

The rubber trim on my '02 is filthy, gritty and drying out, especially the belt line trim in the back end.
What do you all recommend? I don't want anything that leaves a glossy finish.

I use Einzett (1Z) Rubber Protection aka Gummi Pflege. Funny name - works great, got it at my local detailing supplies place in SoCal.

you will find that it's a super dust magnet. i didn't like BtoB.

i like Griot's Rubber and Vinyl protectant. im currently using it
on my arches, grills, etc. (external) with great results. not shiny.
