How to restore exterior window trim?

I like Klasse AIO or Prime Strong for such a situation. Once the outer layer of the trim starts to go, it's not really salvageable - but PS or AIO should keep it as good as possible for as long as possible.

I remember reading somewhere, someone said you can buy black shoe dye and tape off the sides of the trim and just do that.

That should work, as I use Forever black and that product is a dye (they also recommend taping off the area you are doing) I did it on my rear window trim and sunroof wind deflector trim and it came out looking pretty good. I did however try it on some of my harder plastic trim pieces and it didn't turn out so great (probably cause the dye couldn't penetrate the plastic)
 
I've got the same thing going on too with the front windshield rubber trim. I don't know how to get rid of it.



Why is back to black a horrible product? I've used it on harder plastics and it seems to do fine.



What is best to use on the rubber trim surrounding exterior windows to protect and condition them? Would something like Mother's rubber & vinyl protectant or the Pinnacle rubber & vinyl protectant be fine?
 
Thanks. It's really just my R&D and rigorous product testing plus the members of this forum feeding me with their knowledge since 2002 that I was able to post that.



I'm going to remain humble. Lots of others with brilliant minds and talent as well.

The trouble I had with back to black is that it's sort of like the trim equivalent of a polish with heavy fillers. A few weeks after you have applied it and wash the car, the material either goes back to how it was before hand or all the marks come back out.



I hate results that wash off.
