    Should you always test in an inconspicuous area first to make sure there is no reaction? Yes! Should you follow up with something to treat/seal/condition those seals/weatherstrips afterwords? Absolutely!
    Been in your shoes as well for many years,lacquer thinner on trim will melt the trim and ruin the rubber.Im a lacquer thinner freak but those 2 areas you are asking for trouble in my opinion.

    Op never responded on what type of car and where is the trim located so we can't help further more.

    Lacquer thinner will remove the top layer of protection on rubber and trim.Even if you condition it will revert back and look horrible.

    Ah, Yes! You sir are correct! I misread the original post! I went back and re-read it. My apologies.

    To the original poster-DO NOT USE LACQUER THINNER ON EITHER OF THOSE AREAS!!!!!!!!! As GSKR posted, you are asking for trouble.
