Hey, have you tried the tyre shine stuff on them? I've seen it used on the rubber seals around doors and tailgates and a few other bits and pieces. It brought them up looking really nice.
(I'm assuming you mean the rubber weather seal stuff around the windows?)

The only PERMANENT solution if they are badly discoloured is to use a dye to restore the colour. The only other thing you can do is to use a dressing-type product.

From an auto retail shop, Meguiar's Ultimate Protectant and Autoglym Bumper & Trim Care are both good for this purpose. Also a Mothers product - Naturally Black.
Tyre shine will also work but it won't give you any sort of durability.
Silicone spray won't do much.
Wax also won't do anything for the discolouration.

You can get a more long-life trim dressing, such as Black WOW - have a look at www.zas.com.au for details about this product.
