so to be clear…..
you had the gray/white trim and that special sauce restored it to the picture you posted??

This after 2 weeks using Chemical Guy's VRP. And since it comes in a cream I wiped it on thick and let sit over night hopping for longer results.

Was it faded when you applied it?

I never claimed I had the gray/white trim... that "special sauce" (as you renamed it) has removed spots and dullness to keep the rubber shiny since 2021.

Your mileage may vary.

Yes it was. Looked good when done, just didn't last.
Tried to keep a head of it, but we can see how that worked out.

Well I tried various things some worked for a while, but eventually my rubber just crumbled and fell out in big chunks. I'm going to have to replace it on both front doors. Pretty poor really given as I previously stated we have older Hyundai / Kia vehicles in the family which largely sit out in the weather during the day, and only parked under cover at night, ie exactly the same as my Ranger, and their door trims are still perfect.

Sure, but it’s Australia Cam. Every living creature and the sun are doing their best to try and kill you. Every. Single. Day. Struth!

It’s a miracle Steve Irwin lasted as long as he did.

I used a magic eraser. You have to really get after it, and I burned through a 4 pack, but it worked.

You can get all four for about $55 on Amazon. They are called “belt molding “.

But what kind of quality do you get?

The aftermarket parts haven't really instilled confidence in reliability for me lately. So I'm the same way. How long they going to last and whats fit and finish look like.
