Best product for cleaning rubber sealers around windows, etc

I've only had my vehicle for 5 months but the rubber trim that lines the windows, etc around the car seem to already have faded somewhat from sunlight.

What is the best product to apply to these to keep them protected from the sun as well as return them to a darker black color?

Thanks

You can restore the surface with the Black WOW Black WOW - 4 oz. It's an amazing product that makes the rubber, plastic and vinyl surfaces look like new again! If you want you can protect them with the 303 Aerospace Protectant - 16 oz. It has outstanding UV protection on virtually anything rubber, leather, vinyl and plastic so you can use it all over the interior. If you have any questions please let me know.

Restoring the rubber trim is a two-step process. You first need to clean the rubber to remove the oxidation to bring it back to original condition. The product we use on our detail is einszett plastic cleaner

You can then condition using a product like Black WOW or Swissvax Pneu
