I use it on all the weather stripping, and even under the hood, hoses, wires, all plastic, and the rear valance as well......

I use Dupont with Teflon. This stuff works amazingly well. It does not sling, it has a NATURAL luster to it, and it lasts! All you do is spray it on. And you can do multiple coats if you really want it to shine. I haven't bought it in a while though because a cpl years back pep boys (only store that carrys it) had a sale and I bought their entire in store stock. LOL wife was pissed too.

I use the Adam's VRT product.
No sling/goop, nice clean matte finish. Works great at bringing back the luster in faded plastics too. I use it on the all the exterior plastics (including the engine bay) and has a SPF protection too!

VRT, Blackfire etc. Just make sure that it's water based so the surface isn't de-graded.

I don't use any, but have used Windex in the past on other cars. It is inexpensive, doesn't sling off and it works!

A few years ago I saw a program on car detailers and used motor oil was used. I have been told to stay away from any silicone products, especially in the C2 & C3s with the original glass because it can wick through the glass and cause paint problems.
