Question:

On your own car, if you got some wax on the rubber trim, would you put a dye on the trim (painting it), and thus leaving the wax and now the dye on your rubber trim

OR

Try to clean the rubber trim of the wax first?

I would much prefer leaving the rubber in good condition than layering impurities on top of it... I would only paint or coat my rubber trim as a last resort.
