Dynamic duo for rubber and trim-clean+black

[MTHall51]

I hope I am learning from my mistakes.
Now I need to know, what would make a great one - two knock out punch for the following problem:
1st remove all silicone, and other greasy dressing from faded rubber and plastic followed by a real clean, safe, permanent black dye which can later have non=silicone preserative added without the black coming off?

Why do you want to dye them?

This might be what you are looking for The Forever Black Bumper and Trim Kit is a multipurpose and practical dark surface rejuvenator.

The reason for wanting to dye is because the rubber seals and some plastic under the hood are horribly faded. No amount of "dressing" or other rejuvenation stuff is able to bring back the color.
Sounds like the Forever Black kit is what I need. Will the Forever Black stuff work on both rough or textured surfaces as well as some fairly smooth, but very faded rubber too?

Yes it will

Here is a pic of the back window seal. No matter how many different products I tried, so far none have kept it looking black for more than 3 days.

That is the most effed up window seal I have ever seen. What did you do to that thing?

Don't know if this will work for you or not (your seals look worse than mine did) but...

Last week I decided to try and do something about the seals on my 99 Jeep Cherokee, they looked like they had lepreousy or something...

I ended up using a 1:1 diluted APC and Mr. Clean Magic Eraser - this really cleaned them well. They went from feeling very rough to smooth and looking a almost like new. I followed that up with an application of DG 271. Can't speak towards durability yet.
