Oh, and if anyone ever tells you that silicone is bad for rubber trim and that you should stay away from any "silicone based" products, end the conversation right then and there. They have no idea what they're talking about and their advice should be considered suspect at best.
Thanks a lot.
Now, one more. For an older car that is not garaged and has about five years of oxidation; (not horrible) would you suggest the same products or something more specialized.
Thanks again,
