Wolfsburg Black window trims

[jim2fast4u]

What product are people using on the black rubber like trims on the windows.

I use car washes(yes please reserve judgement) and these trims are starting to look very light grey.

They also have scratch marks on them from the car washing.

Isn’t that unavoidable as the rubber ages?
are you looking for something to treat them with or just general care and maintenance?

[jim2fast4u]

Something to treat it with. These cars are fairly common and I wanted to know what fellow owners used.

In a 4 month period they definitely lightened up a fair amount. For a relatively new car I would think it would be an amourall type treatment for plastics. I’m not mad this course as it can be greasy.

You’ll need to clean them first - get rid of the oxidised rubber which has turned grey. Mothers do a product called back to black which seems to work okay.

as to protectants - I use 303 on my plastic surf ski - i’d never use it on my car. There are (IMO) newer products which are less harsh Eg: this: Vinyl Revival - For the revival and protection of exterior vinyl, plastic and rubber surfaces.

Just get them re-done with a black vinyl wrap..

Thanks all. I will look at some options and do a test run. Perhaps some before/after shots and see how it weathers.

I wouldn’t rush into a wrap, though, The local panel shop owner sprayed the chrome trims of his wife’s 162 and it looked magic.
