Have spots that sort of run when rubbed with your finger on the rubber molds that surround the side windows of the truck. They have been there since I bought the truck but the rubber seems to just fade and spots get worse every time I wash the truck, even though I use Mequires car soap. Is there a way to just clean the rubber or is my only recourse to use something like black to black which I think will just hide the spots. And what is the best way to care for this rubber molding to protect it over the long term. Thanks

I use armor all on mine, just be careful to keep it off the paint and glass. mine is still new though so i'm not sure how much it is good for the long term, but it looks very clean and shiny once done. IT is a little faded after washing...

Try using tire shine on a rag or sponge and rubbing it on the trip. I wouldn't ever use armor-all products myself, no particular reason or proof, I just don't trust it.

Buy yourself a bottle of TurtleWax Ice. I use it on all the rubber and plastic such as the trim around the windows, door handles, side mirrors, the flat black area between the windows, bed rail cap, grill...etc....

I also use it in the door jambs that are too hard to use regular wax. Just slather it on and wipe it off.

I usually use it as my last step when I wax the truck because it will take off any regular wax that you happen to get on those parts.

That ICE stuff works pretty well. I bought a bottle a while back and it's great for interiors. Cleans up well without leaving a greasy film.

I swear by ICE it's the best wax I've ever used!

FYI > Armor All is the worst product of it's kind on the market, not to mention the horrible smell.

Check out 303 Protectant. I buy mine at a local boating store but you could find it elsewhere. It has built in UV protection and is HIGH quality. My 2 cents !

I use a product called Ultima tire and trim guard.
It is the best product I have found, but it is very expensive.

Thanks for posing the question kydsid! I'm going to try that Turtle Wax Ice stuff now!
