(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) ....Well I was fortunate some few years ago to luck up on a no-brand silicone liquid that was like molassis...used it for every rubber part on my cars until it was gone......AND I HAVE FOUND....a product you need to be aware of a product I just discovered. I think It,s new on the market....here goes ...BLACK MAGIC -Titanium....it,s a tire shine product...Its a THICK silicone,almost a gel, and comes with a scrub brush applicator. This stuff is INCREDABLE. I scrubbed down my tires (washed them) several times,allowed them to dry, and in the warm sun applied this stuff to both sides of the tires. They look better than new....Then I started on the rubber bumper tops, and every other rubber part on the car.(914)...it,s been about 3 weeks since I treated the whole car, and the rubber everywhere looks just great!!!...I got clean rags, wiped down most of the rubber parts, which released the imbeded dirt and crud from the rubber. then reapplied it everywhere again. ALL this took about 1/4 of the bottle, which is 16 oz,s. This stuff really works, It soaks into the rubber making it softer, looks great and will last longer than anything I have ever used...

Dave any product like back to black, you would NOT want to use on YOUR bumper covers. It's good for ones that are faded and oxidized. More of a dye type product I believe. The Griots tire dressing would work well for you. It's a very low gloss finish that is not sticky like other tire products. You can get it in their rubber cleaning kit. Their tire/rubber cleaner worked the best on my silver car's pvc factory undercoating. I'll use it again on the red car being you think that print product roller cleaner isn't suiteable. I tried Steve's 409 suggestion and several other products as well. Griots required a fraction of the effort and achieved the best results. Followed it up with the tire dressing and it looked brand new. No road grime stuck to it either. I'll do some before and after on the red car with it. Won't be till closer till Spring time though.
