    Thanks Eldorado, Ill look into it . Have you used it at all?? works well ?

    Once I get it looking as good as I can get it, I was just gonna put some sort of rubber conditioner followed with maybe some (spray)wax.
    Of course I've used it. I don't go out recommending stuff I've never tried.. It's the 1st thing I reach for whenever I have to restore some plastic trim. IME no APC does what this stuff can do.
    It goes from this:



    To this: Then you're properly prepped to do exactly what you plan to do...



    Works just as well on rubber.

    Thanks Tas. I watched a video of CARPRO CQUARTZ DLUX vs Gtech C4, looks like they're just a coating, no a cleaner. Not too fussed about coating it in the end, rather the cleaning part. Maybe I should try an acid based cleaner, maybe a water spot remover might work ?
