So I was driving in my roomates 2002 F150 and I had the window down and my arm was resting on the door(yes I had the window down babylol...I made the move to FL!) When I lifted my arm I saw all black stuff from the seal. What can I use to restore that and what's the best thing to protect it with. I've never found any that I've liked.
 
I like Einszett Rubber Stick on weatherstripping specifically.
 
So I'm not the only one not paying attention to the game LOL. I need to check that out
 
Specifically for rubber..I've been looking for something.
That sounds like a good product to add to my shopping list. :props:
 
Einszett Gummi Stift or Meguiar's M40, both are very good. M40 would be better in your case since it boasts UV protection ;)
 
I have the same problem with my 2008 F150. Sorry for bringing this post back from the dead, but wondering what you came up with? Did you try the Gummi, UTTG, M40, or GT C4? I want to treat this problem once and for all with something that lasts. I've tried several different products and they fade, bleed and streak and actually make it look worse. For me it will be worth the cost of something that is actually going to work.
 
Any product suggestions specific to the rubber spoiler on an '88 911? It looks to be actual rubber, not a plastic. Its in very good shape for its age but I'd like to get it really nice. It seems to me that the best way would be some good cleaner THEN conditioner...I've heard of using denatured alcohol to really clean it but that seems harsh. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hmm...I remember them...I wonder if this would be a good application for a tire coating like Tuf Shine or the DP tire coating. If not, what I would do is gently clean it with an APC (I like Optimum Power Clean) or something like Griot's Rubber Cleaner, maybe using a microfiber towel (that you don't care about because it will turn black), and then use something like WETS (Wolfgang Exterior Trim Sealant) on it.
