Fading trim

Not sure if anyone else has had this problem or not, but my rubber trim lining the front windscreen is starting to fade.

I can start to see white at the bottom of the trim. Any suggestions as to how to correct this? Is there some kind of polish that will help?

    Try either "back to black" trim polish or even a squirt of WD40 on a cloth and rubbed around it.

    Peanut butter, I jest you not. Its one of the best things for cleaning the rubber trims. Failing that, autoglym bumper care gel. Would never recommend back to black sprays, they are silicone based and dry the rubber out and after a couple of days will look worse than it did before.

    Depends what type of silicon spray you get, Silicon is a lubricant and not all sprays "dry out"

    It's actually the propellant in the cans that causes things to "dry out". Your right about the peanut, it's because of the oils within the nuts!
