Question Rubber Window Molding dressing - What are you using?
I have a 02 996 and the molding is starting to look slightly faded.

Intersted in what everyone is using to make it look like new again that lasts and doesn't leave a residue. Thanks for the help

I use Macquier's interior protectant. It is some sort of silicon based spray, works great on rubber trim and molding.

One Grand ERV (exterior rubber and vinyl) protectant. Great stuff. I use it on my tires primarily.

Gummi Pflege Stift is nice for the rubber. Also, I really like those Griot's rubber and plastic wipes for all the black trim on the outside of the car--leaves the black looking great.

I use this on all of my customers cars. It's really a great product and easy to apply due to it's packaging. 303 would be my second choice.
