Cooking Vegetable/Olive Oil
Try using Vegetable or Olive Oil on your vynle parts like weather stripping and the black trim around the windows. Works great and restores it.
I used a toothbrush because i had got some wax on my black trim and it came right off, looks better than ever.
Try it.

yea sure^^ Thats what i used...
Although, when you apply, make sure your use a toothbrush and scrub it well...
On vinyl parts i skimped over on, its starting to show the white wax again.
Do a good job the first time, safe yourself time and the mess. Oh yea, did i mention it gets messy?

This is a bad idea, as both cooking oil and olive oils turn rancid after a week of sitting uncovered.
Trade-off... spend 8 bucks and get some good vinyl/leather cleaner/conditioner, OR, have your car smell like a restaurant kitchen after a saturday night. I spend 11+ hours a day on the line, as a chef in a high-end restaurant kitchen... I take comfort in knowing that my car doesn't smell like "work" when I get into it.
