Default Black Trim

Everyone has black trim that goes around the outside of the car. What do you use to clean it? I have white speckles on it and it is aggravating me. These are the same white speckles that were on my paint too. But thanks to clay bar I was able to remove most of it. Can I use clay bar on the rubber trim too?

be very careful if you try clay on rubber... not really meant for that,
but i have used clay to "pat" rubber before with good results. worth trying- i remove spots on rubber with my fingernails if not too many... go slowly and dont dig deep.
any idea what the specks are?

I had the same question. Both the rubber trim stuff around that seperates the top and the painted areas as well as the black insert in the grille and on the back bumper. Was wondering if there is any kind of cleaner/protectant?
