| Rubber Trim, wiper arm, and Plastic Detailing
What are good products used to detail rubber trim around windows? Also, what do you guys use to remove water spots from the windshield wiper arms? Lastly, what about detailing products for external plastic surfaces? For example, the area where my wiper arms are connected to the car is plastic. What's a good product to clean it and shine it up real nicely? Thanks guys.

I use Poorboy's Trim Restorer on most anything be it rubber or plastic. Also Black Wow is great on anything black trim only. I wouldn't use either on tires as there's products made for that.

clean with APC using a cotton terry towel then a generous application of Poorboys World Trim Restorer. I use a 1" paint brush or 1" foam brush to apply it then let it stand for a few hours before buffing back off(on my own car). On a customers car I can't normally let stand that long.
On more faded or weathered trim I normally apply a few times and it usually does not need to be buffed back off of these more weathered trim pieces. After a few applications on dry, weathered trim it actually does end up looking like new trim again. I apply this product every time I wash and wax and it keeps my trim looking new.

Poorboys Trim Restorer on plastic cowl area. You can paint polish and then wax/protect the wiper arms. Usually wiping with a spray wax or spray sealant weekly after washing keeps them looking new.

I have what looks to be the remnants of white polish dust on some portions of these areas that doesn't wash off.
