I was wondering if anyone knew how to clean the rubber seal around the windows. I noticed this after cleaning the jeep this weekend. Here is a pic so you can see what I am talking about:

The thing is it looks like mold. Armorall will just just make it shiny and moldy.:D

I'd recommend getting some Meguiar's All Purpose Cleaner for that, it comes by the gallon and you can dilute it 10:1 or 4:1 (I go for 10:1), it's also super cheap.

It's great for cleaning your interior plastics as it leaves a very nice matte finish.

Once you've cleaned the trim, just apply some dressing of your choice to it to recondition the rubber.

something that I found that worked good on those moldings....the ICE wax. But you gotta get them clean first. Any kind of all purpose cleaner should bring that off

I would clean the surface with a quality degreaser that is totally safe like the P21S Total Auto Wash (http://www.detailedimage.com/P21S-M14/Total-Auto-Wash-P87/1000-ml-Kit-S1/). You can further restore the surface with the Black WOW Black WOW (http://www.detailedimage.com/Black-WOW-M41/Black-WOW-P370/4-oz-S1/). It does a great job of restoring the vinyl, rubber and plastic surfaces back to their original color. Let me know if you have any questions.
