Cheap, quick way to restore seals and black trim!!
Just have your neighborhood douchebag teenagers smear crisco, powdered sugar and PISS all over your daily driver.
Sure, it might make you late for work. Hey, after you miss those two important meetings your boss wanted you to attend first thing in the morning, he'll just tell you to take the rest of the day. It'll only cost you a full day of vacation hours, NO BIGGIE! Not only that, they'll leave you cool new slang like "suck ballz" written in lard on your driveway. Silver lining here? My door handles are blacker than black. And I think my windshield seal might make it another year! Yay!  I don't think I'm allowed to discuss the things that I want to do to these worthless life forms when/if I catch them.

I was thinking it was some magical chemical reaction between the three, with the urine being the catalyst...

A friend of mine thought I'd gone crazy one day when he stopped by and found me smearing peanut butter all over my car (and myself, I'm really quite clumsy). Oily substances really do work wonders.
No offense, but the car could have been made drivable in 60-90 seconds (hose off the piss and sugar and wipe off your driver's side window) so I hope you didn't actually miss any important meetings.

first, no, I couldn't see out of any window. and that crap didn't just "wipe off". But there was more crap on the house too and I wanted to try and get that off before too much of it baked into the brick. no, important meetings were not missed. But today did cost me a day of vacation.
second, I don't know who did this or what I've done to piss them off. Apparently, we have throngs of teenagers in this neighborhood with parents worth their weight in crisco. something that was not in the seller's disclosure when we bought this house in a "respectable" neighborhood. Most of the trouble we've had is from girls actually, doing ring-n-runs. Ding-dong-ditchers.

I'd think with judicious use of paper towels and degreaser you could scrub a window clear enough in a minute. But I admit you have more experience with Criscoed windows than I do, and working it off of brick is another story altogether. Around here the kids just TP the hell out of the trees in your front yard (well, not MY front yard... it can be advantageous to let one of the pack know you've noticed the lush patch of medicinal herbs in his back yard
). Teenagers are stupid everywhere, it's the nature of the beast.

That is so aggravating. Sorry to hear about it.
If your car is in view of a window, it might be worth setting up a motion activated camera. Depends on how much damage was done and how likely it is to happen again.

that's horrible that it happened to your car, but really fascinating the results.... is this a permanent type fix or can they be painted too?

As a teenager I never understood totally random vandalism, I did some cruel **** but the victim had instigated it.

A friend had a problem with teenagers trying to take his car. He was woken one night & chased one away. He wired his car up to the active on the mains, 2 nights later, he was woken again by a scream. He went out and found a very sick looking kid sitting on the side of the road. He never had the problem again. Our mains is 240v here, dont know if 110v would do the trick. A farm electric fence unit may do a good enough job.
I never suggested that you try it though

I can see it now, dale gribble perimeter fence and armed watchtowers on the corners...
spotlights, and a moat would just about do it... VERY bad idea wiring the car to the house current... dead is kinda hard to undo... now the horse electric fencer could be fun. but I bet they'd get a shock, then smash out your windows...
