    i clean mine with "armour all" but then it attracts the dust alot more. best bet is to get them painted be $300 or so
    no longer a hoon by association - the commodore is gone

    Meguiars trim detailer...... Armour all dries out the plastic too much if you don't apply it on a regular basis.

    Another vote for Meguiars trim detailer, probably needs to be done maybe once every six months to keep looking the goods...

    Spray then wipe WD-40 on the plastic you want to clean, it does a great job.

    Meguiars trim detailer for sure, haven't tried anything else but learnt pretty much what to use and what not to use on the last car.

    Are you wanting to clean it or make it look nice and shiny black?

    Just use a car wash or some type of all purpose cleaner to clean it, and the dress it with Gold Class™ Trim Detailer™


    This stuff looks absolutely mint when first applied and gradually starts to lose its lustre with every car wash or rain event. I just keep topping it up every few weeks. Hope this helps!
