Not sure what's available in your area, but I use wizards Black Renew. It works fantastic on all black trim and tired. Not greasy, leaves brand new OEM satin look and lasts a long time for exterior trim. I use it on all my black plastic trim, tonneau cover and splash guards on my Tahoe and Silverado. Keeps everything looking brand new!

I've had good luck with Back to Black or finish line's Instant Shine (creamsicle scent). If I'm in a pinch I will just use some tire shine!

Got it....im wondering are any of these going to be permanent or will they have to be re applied every couple months?

For a more permanent fix to faded plastic panels and such i remove the part thats faded and use duplicolor bumper and trim paint. I did several pieces on my 94 suburban i used to have including the plastic old style grill (single sealed bulb style). I did no prep work except a real solid cleaning and dry and removing the grill from the truck. I applied 3 coats and it looked like a brand new oem black grill. I ended up selling the truck 2 yrs later but 2 winters and several car washes (hand wash and bay power washed) it still looked brand new when i sold it.

I also removed my pieces and painted but I used Krylon Fusion For Plastic. Followed instructions, just a good cleaning needed. A year later and they still look new, including my running boards and rear bumper cover which I was afraid would wear.IMG_3897.JPG IMG_3899.JPG
