Silicone paste for your trim
My 04 black Z sits in the sun a lot, and the trim was starting to turn a slight shade of gray, enough to be annoying and noticable.
A couple days ago I detailed my car and applied a couple coats of silicon paste on the plastic trim and rubber seals. Now there is not even a hint of oxidation. Looks like new!

Cool! Thanks for the help. I have seen one product that people use on their tires and it works really well, but you MUST keep it off your wheels. Not even going to try...
I've seen another one demonstrated at a meet that worked awesome and was safe for wheels, but I can't remember what it was called.

I wonder if silicone paste can be placed in the interior of the car like the nissan floor liner or on those handle bars.

What was the name of the product you used? where did you get it?

I use Dielectric grease which is silicon and it works well. Especially good so W/S doesnt stick to the metal. (Hatch for example)

Silicone should not be used on anything plastic, rubber or vinyl. Why do you think people have such a dislike for Armor-All? The old formula contained silicone which eventually caused the parts it was applied on to disintergrate faster than normal. Also, tire shines are normally advertised as "silicone free" because silicone tended to make them turn brown.
