Apparently, Mother's Back to Black is the way to go in terms of rejuvenating any black plastics and rubbers hoses in the engine bay. Is it a good idea on the rubber weather stripping around all the glass on the car? Mine has definitely faded. Looking forward to your results!

 

I use it on the Deuce and am happy with it

 

Personally I could never get Mothers back to black to really work well for me. I had better results with meguairs version of it, I can't for the life of me think of the name of it right now. But for me personally it gave all my trim a much deeper and richer black then the mothers did.

 

Clean the weatherstrip with soap and water, then apply white lithium grease to them. If the rubber isn't deteriorated badly they will look like new. The lithium grease also helps to prevent those annoying squeaks that dry rubber vibrating against the body can create.

 

This is what Mothers says.
Mothers® Back-to-Black®

 

I've used it and I think it sucks - doesn't last at all. I have found my own secret weapon for a trim reconditioner - did wonders for the sunroof bezel which was turning grey from the sun.

How about a pm to help out my old 5th Gen?
I promise I wont tell anyone.
Mines far from ever being a "Gold Class" winner... heheheheheh

 

Thanks Mel!

 

Do share? the window trim and sunroof trim on my monte are horrendously oxidized and nothing has worked

 

It's really more like a dye and I got it from Griot's Garage.
