I like Black Again or Poorboys Trim Restorer. Go light ... that way it doesnt run on the paint at first rain.

Depending on how much you care, you can just use a trim protecant or tire shine. If you were super dedicated and wanted the best, there's other options out there. 303 would be one of them.

I didn't like Trim Restorer at first. I found out I didn't clean the trim enough (thought I did). I guess years of using stuff like Black Magic trim and other heavy silicone stuff built up. I used a citrus degreaser and let sit on a few times, and then cleaned with it and towel untill no more black or crap was comming off. Now Trim Restorer works great, especially when I topped it with Duragloss AW to seal it in. I tried a few others like OCW but none seemed to bond well, AW bonded perfectly.

Trim still looks good, I tested it unsealed and sealed, and the unsealed sections had to be redone in 2 weeks. Whereas my rear bumper and sideview mirrors still look good.

Apply TR thinly and leave sit for a bit then buff, I did a couple coats since my trim seemed to absorb it lol.
