Black Trim around Windows

How do I clean these? When I got the car they were faded and full of water spots.

I used back to black and it fixed the fading problem but the water spots are still there.

I then read the forums and I used Zymbol Cleaner Wax. I used it twice but it did nothing. It made it faded again so I added back to black again.

Any suggestions?

Do you have rubber? Or the glossy shadowline trim?

I use Meguiar's quick wax spray.
It's fast and works perfectly. Available at any auto parts store.

Sorry, I can't answer your question, but here's an X5world article dealing with this issue, and here's an earlier X5world thread on point.

BMW issued a Service Bulletin to address this issue -- more info. here.

x5Monkey recommends Car Brite Power Pak.

3m swirl mark remover works wonders. I used this product last week and I am totally satisfied with the results.

where do I buy car brite power pak?

I used#9 by Meguiars. It removed 50% of the spots. I had to really really buff it hard with my hand. My hand felt like it was about to fall off. I did it 3-4 times but the other 50% just doesnt want to come off.

Should I buy the 3m smirl mark remover? I am tired of spending money on products to fix this problem.
