hi, I was just at another forum and someone had posted about using it on black trim "Some people might know it as "Tuneup Grease", this stuff works great, it does not run, it`s water proof, I use it by rubbing it on my trim peices with my finger(only takes a small amount), then I`ll wipe off any excess with a terry cloth! This stuff last alot longer than Back to black!"

Whats the opinion here on it? Thanks
 
My recollection of the use of Dielectric silicone grease was for conditioning door seals, (weatherstrip).
As I remember it, the stuff was quite expensive and didn't go very far when applied to door weatherstrip. When I ran out of it, I went back to my use of whatever vinyl/rubber protectant I used on the rest of the vehicle.
It will probably work OK for what they are suggesting, but I think it might be pretty expensive.
FWIW, I've had good luck using Klasse AIO on the rubber trim on the GM vans I have owned. I use it just like I would if the trim was painted. Wipe on with a damp applicator and wipe off.

I did try it, and it worked great. Cost factor , depends how much black trim you have. I have very little
 
I would also think that it being grease, that it would not dry and stay greasy:confused::hmmm:
 
I think it was listed in an owner's manual somewhere to use it. I prefer a dedicated product for my door seals.

After you put it on you rub it dry. You use very little and rub in well. It rained yesterday and still looks good.
 
I believe that is said to use dielectric grease on the weather seals in my Olds owners manual as well.

A bit costly but I guess it works.
