Mk3.5 Focus-Cleaning the "rubber" windshield and door trim

My "rubber" trim on the side of the windshield and top of the doors look a bit worn. The ones on the doors more than the windshield.

They were not looking great when the car was new and they had kind of a oily aspect to them. Now they get dirty very quick and dirt seems to go inside them and it's a pain to clean.

 The car is just 6 months old!!!!

Anybody else had/has this issue? What can I use to clean/protect it? I don't really like to use anything on rubber but this is p1ss1n' me off.

Thanks!!!

 

P.S. Now the car is clean but it will get dirty quick so I can provide pictures later on.

    Try using silicon based products for your rubber seals. I use auto glym.

    My 3.5 is 18 moths old and there is not a mark on the seals.
