    10 years ago I used Vinylex with good success. `What is everyone using now for cleaning and preservation?

    1Z Gummi or the slightly better (but far more expensive) Wurth version, applied *very* infrequently as it just doesn`t need done very often IME.` But for the exterior rubber seals I usually just 1) clean with Griot`s Rubber Prep, 2) seal with Ultima`s TTGP, and 3) maintain with ValuGard`s Fast Finish.

    My top picks are 1Z gummi, Carpro PERL or Swissvax seal feed.

    The pros would know better, but on a whim I picked up the Turtle Wax trim restorer when it was on sale and I`ve been very pleased with it. `Easy to apply, and it stands up to the elements admirably.

    I agree - there is nothing wrong with the TW product. `But I don`t doubt that there may be better products on the market. `Would love to try some of the 1Z gummi, and probably would if I could get my hands on it easily. `The price is really no worse than the TW product.

    Did you see shootout sticky in the products forum? `Pretty thorough look at several options:

    07Titan- Yeah, I saw that.` The UTTG+ that I like did OK in that comparison.
