Some of the old gals rubber window trims and whatnot are starting to look a bit grey and sunswept so am wondering what the Jaguar massive use for restoration of these bits & bobs?

I used to use Back to black but haven't used it for years and perhaps there's something better out there?

cheers

nip into halfords or other good stockist an there will be a whole lotta stuff to restore rubber. i actually use meguiars tyre dressing which is a gel an just i little blob goes a long way but everyone has their own fave. bet u end up with 50 different ideas!

Black Wow is really good, the bottles tiny but you don`t need much.

I forgot to say it also gets rid of those horrible white marks on the trim.
I`ve only applied it once in over a year on my garage queen, obviously won`t last quite so long on a 24/7 outside motor

For a credit crunch option you could try boot polish - it used to work on the old plastic trims on Mk1 Golf GTi's!

Boot polish, on a Jaguar?

The very notion...
