Rubber window trim?

How is everyone cleaning and restoring the black rubber trim around the windows? Mine are already looking rough and it is a new 2024 F55.

It isn't damaged just needs to be detailed - I am curious as to how others are maintaining.

Give Solution Finish a try. It's a black emulsion that works very well.

We have that and its more or a renewal for sealing gaskets on the door inside and can work. It does not really give it a shine that will last as that outer seal is exposed to the elements and will wash off from when I used it.

You have to keep applying it after a couple washes.

Great for convertible top seals and inside door seals. We have the same stuff from other companies linked below.

@Splankster another great product is AMMO NYC’s Oleo. Easy to apply and has a high gloss finish 😁

Hope this helps and have a great weekend,
