Help cleaning residue on black rubber window lining on 3.0
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/33238/audiwindow.jpg"></center><p>Hey everybody, I noticed that I have some type of discoloration/residue on the rubber window lining on my 3.0. I have not cleaned it with anything, no Armor All, nothing. I am thinking the detailers at the dealership did something...or maybe it's normal...Any suggestions on how to clean or will it get worse?

The product Black Again should help - see this link for more info:

Re: Help cleaning residue on black rubber window lining on 3.0
It looks like the detergents and dirt form traffic has taken its toll on your linings. Back to Balck and products like those work well but they work better when the linings are clean. Yours are filthy so here's a tip. I have done this to all my vehicles but take care in doing it. Get a little acetone and dilute it with 50% water. Use this concoction to clean the rubbers and you will see what I mean by dirty (you can even do this on your wipers to extend their lives) and take extra caution to try not to touch paintwork as much as possible. After you have done each lining (do not wait until you have done all windows) get a very wett cloth and wet the linings down (or just use a hose and hose the cleaned areas and surrounding bodywork). Linings come up like new, do this 2 or 3 times a year and all other times utilise something like back to black to keep it protected...
Cheers
