If you use silicone spray, it'll clear up all the faded black plastic trim around the windows. Also, spray all of you're weather striping around the doors, trunk and what not. Doing this will extend the life off the striping and better protect your ride against rain and the anoying wind slipping through the door. If you're trim on the door (the plastic piece that's halfway down the door) is faded, I revitilized mine by spraying the silicon on it and now it looks great! Mine was all faded and I tried to wax it to bring back the color, but the wax wouldn't come off! After I sprayed the silicon on it, the waz disappeared and the shinny paint came back! It also takes the wax off the trim around the windows, AND the paint was cracking on my spoiler, it's not anymore! Try it!

I use Nissan Silicon Lubricant. But I'm sure they're all the same. The Nissan one doesn't leave any white film like some others I've used.
