Use the GG Rubber Prep, a much better product. After cleaning use UTTG for a coating. Never understood the raves about 303, a mediocre product at best. Sanding? No way!

I don't sweat the trim rubber getting dirty or 'oxidizing,' I just treat it like I would any other uncoated rubber ... deep clean with an APC and frequently use a rubber protectant. Even from when they were new, the trim on my cars would always turn the cleaning or protectant-applying cloths black. I just never really thought twice about it, I just figured "it is what it is."

Does anybody just *wax* the rubber? I've had all sorts of dire warnings about how the solvents in wax will damage it, but my '85 Jag's exterior rubber is just fine after years and years of waxing (started doing it back around 1988 or so).
I only think about oxidation in the sense of long-term deterioration, sure don't want to try finding a weatherstrip twenty years after a vehicle's out of production!
Don't you get issues with the rubber protectant running down your paint when it rains? That sort of thing is what prompted me to look for a different approach.
