I use that Gummi Pfledge too after a recommendation on here. Very good stuff, can be found on Amazon.

Gummi Pfledge is great, use it on the lip seal to the electric windows and see how much faster they move.

Also black shoe polish, the one with the foam end works really well to brighten dull black rubber.
