Default how to polish the blk boarder on window

I have a 95 Civic LX sedan. How do you polish/clean the black strip that seperates the front windows from the rear ones? There is a small section in the corner of the windows too that are made of the same material. I tried regular polish but that didn't do anything. They still look dull.

Thanks

Ok I couldn't find Back to Black but found something else that worked nicely, Meguiars Gold Class trim detailer. Worked on everything plastic too.

Thanks again...

I use some sort of bumper reconditioner on mine (the name escapes me ATM). Looks fine.

i use some Armor All spray. works like a chram and u can get it for like $4 most places. just spray it on a cloth and wipe the area and its nice and shiney. u can also use it on the trim on the doors.

Yeah, im with civicexracer on this one, armorall can work wonders an almost ANYTHING. The worst part on my car was all the trim around the windows, whenever i waxed it and got some on there they would get all gray-ish, but a bit of armorall and a small amount of scrubbing took it all back to normal. Armor All also works great on tires (not wheels) if you are in a pinch and dont have any tire shine.

try Back-to-Black vinyl/plastic reconditioner.

you can find it at local auto parts stores. I use it all the time.
