ill let you in on what I do. I used to use a good automotive wax every wash. Now I use the Maxima sc1 silicone detailer after every wash. It will make your black plastic come back to like new condition.....i swear by this stuff....go to Motosport.com and type in maxima sc1 in the search field and youll find it. I actually buy mine at my dealer here in GA.

its the same thing....its called sc1 clear coat detailer i think is its correct title.....around 9 bucks a can.....i usually buy 2 at a time and they last me a while......you seriously wont beleive how good that black will look after using this stuff...spray on let it sit for a few min and lightly wipe.......

And yes definately i go down to Durhamtown quite often in fact there this past weekend.....perfect weather......do you go there too?

Sand paper and a heat gun. Get a really fine sand paper and sand down the plastics real good. Then slowly go over the plastics with the heat gun and watch the plastics go back to new!

WARNING: Dont go to slow and dont hold the heat gun in one place for to long or you will burn a hole in your plastics.
