Rubber door trim
Hey, I was curious what others are using to maintain/restore the exterior rubber trim on top of the doors. Mine has gotten pretty faded and I need to find something for it. Thanks!

I went with Chemical Guys' VRP. There are a few similar variants out there.

This stuff works great on black plastic trim that has gone dull. It is expensive for a little bottle but a little goes a long way.

I use mothers back to black, I'm sure there's better stuff out there such as chemical guys but for 10 bucks from any auto store you can't go wrong. Still works very well.

I just cleaned with 303 Areospace Protectant Spray. It took a lot of black grime off, which surprised me a bit. It must be grime left on from the factory as the car is only 2 weeks old.
It didn't leave the black trim shiney, more of a matte black finish. I will keep you posted on how it works. Jimmer.

Adams Super VRT. Best part is how easy it is to remove the excess from glass and metal trim.
