Any tips on cleaning the rubber trim around the windows? (also around the Sky Slider top)

Dirt is a pain in the butt to get off the rubber, after a normal car wash it looks like I purposely skipped the rubber trim! I have products to shine/protect the rubber after it's cleaned...

Thanks,
Nick

Ive looked at this thread a few times but idk why they are so hard to get clean. Mine usually come clean after washing.

If I get wax on them I usually use an APC on an old micro fiber towel. After that I follow it up with good trim detailer... Lately Ive been using Meguiars Hot Tire shine gel. Ive found it lasts much longer than any trim detailer Ive tried.

Rubbing alcohol on a soft cloth works pretty good. It also removes the extra wax that builds up after a good waxing.

Rubbing alcohol on rubber? Seems to me that would dry it out.
