Default renewing window molding?

Does anyone have a good right up on how to refinish the window moldings on a 95 teg. Mine are looking kinda rough on the quarter glass molding and loking for a way to make them look new again without having to buy new rear windows

you can usually renew the stuff if its not dried out too much. i like using poorboys world trim restorer. it conditions the plastic very well and is not silicone based.

back to black, let alone anything mothers is horrible except for the aluminum polish which is still not the best.

i can never get poorboys trim restorer to last on ford plastic. it lasts relatively long time on honda moldings and toyota. maybe the ford plastic is more porous.....i dont know

you can try to clay it if its a smooth finish molding, also try some 50/50 alcohol spray with a mf towel.
