rubber/plastic exterior trim faded

[michael harrigan]

I recently bought an 04 st and the rubber exterior trim around the windows is kind of faded and looks bad. So far I've only tried soap and water on it while washing the truck. Does anyone have any suggestions ? Some of the plastic trim looks the same(the cowl piece). I've seen a product called "Back to Black". Is it any good ? or should I wash with some kind of solvent ? maybe alcohol?

303 Aerospace protectant or Mother's Back to Black NOT ALCHOHOL or solvents

The rubber around the windows comes out great if you mask it off and paint it with vinyl dye. Otherwise, it'll always be purple.



I use Turtle Wax Ice Polish on the rest.

sorry guys about the double post I don't know what happened.

Where can I get the 303 protectant?

Dont waste your money on back to black... it doesnt really work well. (From Experience)

I've used Mother's Back to Black and was disappointed as the results were temporary.



I've gotten the best results from Showroom New Restorer. It actually dyes the trim black permanently (been perfect so far - almost 2 years without having to reapply).

another 2 thumbs down for back to black, mine still look bad.
