Best product for rubber weather stripping/trim??

[Speardog]

I refuse to use armorall on anything now and want to use something that will preserve the rubber trim around the windows on the exterior. What do you guys recommend? Does anyone make a product that is rain proof to prevent streaking?

DG 253. If you look over DG's products there are a few that would apply but 253 is the one I use the most.

I have personal experience with Ultima Tire and Trim Guard Plus and i would highly recommend it. It's virtually permanent and absolutely no streaking or bleeding of product after it rains.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy Gtechniq C4 or CarPro DLux either. I heard great reviews but i don't have personal experience with them.

+1. Or DG 271, 531, and even 301.
If you're looking for something more permanent try DLux

Chemcial Guys VRP works well and it does last , not like the trim coatings but the price is much less.
Plus you can dilute it 1:1 and not lose anything.

I use it on my tires , trim and engine bay.
Water based and dries to the touch in seconds.

What year is your vehicle?

Due to rubber's tendency to break-down quite easily from UV-rays:
Not too many OEM's use actual rubber for seals anymore.
They use EPDM "rubber" instead.

Most of your vehicles maintenance manuals call for di-electric silicon grease
to be used on the EPDM seals. I prefer not to, though.
Either: 303 AP; Meguiar's #40; or SilGlyde Lube...works fine for me.

Thanks
