How do I make weatherstripping look good?

You know the part that goes around windows? It's a little faded, with spots on it, and I want to shine it up. I've used Formula 113 in the past and it did wonders, but now I'm out of that stuff. I already tried Armor All.

Thanks,

-The Gunny

get mothers back to black and then use a silicone spray and putsome on it. that will bring back the blackness to it and then the silicone will shine it up nicely.

Try westley's bleach-white to get all of the dirt and gunk off of it... After that wipe it well with a wet cloth, then I use Mother's Back to Black, and it makes the weatherstripping look a LOT better.

Bleach-White is cheap, and works on just about anything rubber, especially tires, but be careful not to get it on your seats or clothes. It DOES have chlorine in it.
