Guys-

The title says it all. Here's a pic of what I need to clean up, is there any cleaner that will remove the spots on the rubber?

Clean it well...looks like there's wax on there. Dawn dish soap will strip the wax. Then use a heat gun to return the fading to its original color.

Just be careful with wax in the future.

That isn't wax, I have it too. Looks almost like mildew or mold spotting on my truck and that pic. I'll try the 303, I have some somewhere.
