Has anyone else noticed the black rubber window surrounds (mostly the rear ones) getting marked?

Mine are really covered in what looks like drying marks and seem to have appeared after a dealer clean.....

Has anyone else had this or better still, have a solution?
Tried washing and drying loads of times and they just come back.

You mean little blobby circles? Mine has a few of those, I put it down to the local hard water. At work

Hard Water????????

Is there anything you lot "opp norf" have that's not hard?  FL2 TD4 XS Santorini

is it polish marks, they dry white  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Yeah that sort of thing.

Like when you clean your car with something like meguiars and it starts to dry before you can rinse/leather it of.

Like white spots.

Any solutions?

polish on plastic trim comes off with an pencil eraser or peanut butter (smooth not crunchy)

Not sure about rubber though, maybe a bottle of Auto Glym Rubber and Vinyl

Cant be the water cos I got it as well. Water here is soft as a  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I have that problem on my surrounds and I put it down to the water droplets drying and leaving chemical residue or it could be the bleaching effect from the sun as the water dries, (not up North though!)
I agree that the Autoglym Vinyl stuff works well but it doesn't last forever. Ralph

I've got this too on the rear window rubbers and I have put it down to the cleaning fluid they spray on before its jet washed at one of those drive in car washes.........

i find smart dressing does the job,and lasts,as it will repeal water for a while.

I have also noticed this and have tried Auto Glyn but this does not last long enough could it be poor wuality rubber
