Default Black Rubber, How To Keep It From Fading???

I use Mother's Back to Black right now, but it does not last long. A good rain will wash it off. People have told me to use tire gel on it, I tried it on my old crx and it worked and lasted a long time, but am scared to use it on my new Z. Also, people have told me to use wax on it. They said the newer waxes won't stain the rubber and will make it shine and protect it from the sun. They also told me to use wax on my windows to protect from rain and also too make them real shiney. I am also looking for something that will bring back my old crx's black trim. The lady before me never took care of the car as wise as paint, trim, and interior. Everything has a little fade to it. Thanks.

Don't use wax on the rubber, it will leave stains. Use 303 Aerospace protectant...protects rubber and vinyl from UV rays which cause fading. Meguiars NXT tech protectant also does the same thing

303 is good, and i like the tire stuff from zaino, great shine and it lasts long. Also, i heard that using bleachwhite to do your tires can brown them over time.
