    There is various products that can help chemical guys new look gel, g techniq c4 and the likes, a heat gun can also do wonders!

    There is a few options....

    - The traditional products for trim - tend to be not very durable, sticky, but reasonably priced...frequent application. Products like Chemical Guys New Look Trim Gel, CG's Silk Shine dressing, Back to Black or similar
    - The better detailing products - decent durability, natural finish, normal price, application of every 3 months or so. Products like Wolf's Blackout, Orchard Autocare Glitz
    - The durable coatings - durability of a year or more, natural finish, bit pricey, but infrequent application. Products like CarPro DLUX, Gtechniq C4
    - The heat gun - cheap, will last ages, run the risk of burning the rubber

    Nope, but peanut butter is supposed to work too!

    But either of them options would result in it running onto your paintwork once wet, Id imagine!
