    I just use 303 aerospace wipes. Makes them look nicer after getting scratched or cleaned up after getting muddy. It also helps against sun fade.

    303 is really the only product worth using on polymers. i know some folks in the polymer boat industry and they back it up pretty convincingly.

    Another vote for 303. But I use the spray bottle. Also works great on the interior dash etc. FWIW, I also use on my boat. In Florida we need all the protection we can get.
