Not real bad on an old finish---it'll most certainly remove any wax you
have on the paint too!!

Yea, I have found in my vast experience, that in fact lacquer thinner
will temporarily rejuvinate dead, or chaulked out rubber.

Then rapdly apply some sort of protective K-Y coating on it to help it
keep it's luster.

Sorry HK---can't chit chat any longer  --Have an important date to keep
tomorrow.

PS--- I wouldn't use lacquer thinner on your wiper blades----
