Guys, I'm looking for some sort of product that will revitalize the rubber moldings on my 5 year old car. I dont want to waste my money by buying something off the shelf from the local car parts store, if it doesn't work. Any recommendations?

I like 303 Areospace spray. Seems to work well and last a good bit with out being over shiny...

Didn't like 303 very well for outside trim. Love it for interior though. Ultima is a good choice as mentioned by seer.

I love 303, works great on vinyl and leather seats, especially seats like today that have a thin coating of clear vinyl over leather.

But 303 doesn't restore or work that great on exterior trim, and will run if it gets wet, even a light dew.

Unfortunately, not much on the shelf at Advance/Autozone that is really good.

I'd recommend Black WOW, but it ain't cheap

Or as mentioned, Ultima Tire & Trim Guard Plus

My car (unfortunatly for now) sits outside 24x7. I've never had 303 run in light dew OR heavy rain.

Not saying you're full of crap....I've just never seen that happen.

Also, for the record...I'm not saying that 303 is the end all be all product for plastic/rubber. I've just not had any issues with it.

I've used Turtle Wax Trim Restorer with good results. Only $7.

Use it on my truck that sits outside all year-round.
