Black Rubber trim around windows

Whats the best product to use to bring back the black look of the black rubber trim around the outside of the windows.
I tried some quick detailer last week and it seemed to work in the spot I used it in, but it did remove black residue so im not sure if thats a good thing.

I hate back to black.. doesn't work too well for me, 303 is better but tends to run a little after rain.

I have always had good luck with Back to Black. Black Wow has always gotten good reviews as well.

Removing black residue is not a bad thing. You are removing dirt and "dead" rubber.

Sounds like it would be good, curious to see what other guys think. I've been looking for something to put on the rubber trim around the windows as well. I tried a small area with 303 looked okay until I washed the truck then you couldn't even tell that I put it on. Maybe I didn't let set long enough....

303 wont last forever. Nothing really will, but dyes will last much longer, though I thinki that mostly qualifies for plastics. I'm wanting to try some BlackWOW, gotta order some pretty soon.
