get a magic eraser..use a diluted APC mix....wash the rubber a few tines to get the oxidized rubber off....then use a trim product to maintain it.....if the rubber does not come black after cleaning it..you may need a dye type product..I know Top of the Line has a real good one..this may work.....Faded Vinyl & Rubber

I just remembered, now I've never used it but I wonder how Chris (eShine's) new APC would perform on such a trim

The best thing you can use to renourish seals is 1Z Gummi Pflege.

1Z einszett German Car Care Products - Plastic, Vinyl & Rubber Care, Cockpit Premium, Gummi Pflege

If you use Black Wow it would probably do more harm than good as its meant for hard plastics and would likely clog soft seals and eventually they would loose all moisture and turn hard and brittle.

I've tried PB's Trim Restorer and Black WOW and haven't had much luck on those parts of the car. Of course I haven't tried scrubbing them with an APC either yet. I'll give that a shot next time.
