I agree with Dave’s comments above about 303 Protectant and Detailing sprays. Not only do they work great, they are super easy to apply and you don’t have to necessarily be in the shade, under clouds, or in your garage to do it. Great products. I sometimes use other detailing sprays because I still have leftovers from before I discovered 303 but there’s always more buffing and avoiding direct sun so I’m almost always grabbing the 303 even though I want to use up the others.
Now, Duke’s 404 is on a whole other level but that’s for another thread.
Amazon has all of them and I think most local places like Auto Zone has them too. You can search for the product (s) on the Gold Eagle site and they have a store locator on each product.
I have not observed mine doing that...maybe because it is a garage vehicle when not in use?After a year of trying different products, I finally found the combination of products that restores the faded/moldy/sun damaged belt molding on our trucks! For whatever reason, I have noticed that most 2019/2020 Rangers around me have this issue. Mine is a 2020 and it drove me crazy to see this on a truck that was 4 years old.
I did see both of these products mentioned separately deep in other threads about this issue, but the combination that worked for me is magic eraser and chemical guys trim clean wax and oil remover.
Had all rubber molding on my truck looking brand new after about 10 minutes! Soaked the magic eraser in the chemical guys spray and very carefully scrubbed the rubber. Making sure not to touch the paint or glass.
Apologies if this post is a bit redundant, however I think it may help some people! Happy Friday ranger5g people.

Yup, garage parking will keep all the trim looking new....my Ranger and wifes Subi are garaged, and trim on both...2021 Ranger, 2018 Subi Outback, still look new.
Just so ya'll know, I got some of that Duke's 404 thru a blackmarket site. Tried it and now every dog in the neighbor hood comes by and tries to pee on it !!!
Poor dogs hell....speed limit in our development is 25 mph,,,,,,,I pulled out and drove down street and had 37 dogs chasing me....all of em trying to raise a leg or squat on my Ranger !!!
Apparently! Seems like a more complicated/elitist way to say rubber window trim...
Yep, the 303!Just changed the title.
Btw, if people would listen and use other the 303 Aerospace Protectant or the Graphene Nano spray on their trim moulding they wouldn't have these issues.
I think when I installed my Bakflip, instructions suggested keeping the rubber trim maintained with it. I've been using it on all the 2020 Ranger rubber moulding and it still looks like new. It's a lot of work keeping nice things nice, but it's worth it in the long run.
Awesome to hear!! Stoked it worked for you ???
