Wondering if anyone has tried this on rubber window trim.

The rubber trim at the base of the windows on my TA always looks like crap no matter what I try (303, PERL, A All, Optimum Protectant).

I`m thinking I might give this a try....

I`ve had good success with it on the trim on my Mazda and had the same issue before with it always looking faded, not anymore!
 
I typically use and love Chemical Guys VRP. It looks great, isn`t greasy, and last about 2 weeks

The great thing about solution finish is that it`s not greasy, but still gotta be careful, and it lasts much longer than 2 weeks. But that is my own two cents worth.

Do you tape off the paint near where you applying the product or no?
 
It depends on how far gone the window rubber is. I used it on my 2001 Mazda B3000 that had really bad window rubber and saw very little improvement (of course some is better than none). Follow the instructions and wipe off any residue. No need to tape as SF will come off of paint easily unless you leave it on a long time, then you need a little IPA to get it off paint.
 
Tape isn`t necessary and I usually don`t bother, any parts I get on paint I wipe off with a towel that`s damp with some IPA after the product has dried onto the plastic/rubber.
 
Have you tried cleaning the trim with an all purpose cleaner? The rubber below the windows gets dirty fast. I gave mine a good cleaning and then used Gtechniq C4 on it.
 
Why not just use a "no-white-stains" LSP-based approach on it? That`s all I do to *any* of my exterior trim/seals/etc. and it works perfectly for me, couldn`t improve upon it in any conceivable way.
 
Also for cleaning the rubber I started to use tuff shine tire cleaner and a soft tooth brush due to width of seals before I wash car after rinsing and it has been doing amazing wonders. Generally once is more than enough but occasionally a second time is needed
