    Looking for suggestions on what to use to get the black trim items on my '06 looking nice and black again? Stuff like the side mirrors and the window trim and the black bumper? Is there a product made to make it none more black?

    Also, what do you use on your interior dash? Some of the stuff I've used evaporates into a fog that coats the inside of the windshield. :/

    There's stuff called GX-3 Plastic restorer with Aloe, works pretty well but it has to be re applied every 2 or 3 months. There's the option of painting the plastic which is a little more of a permanent solution.

    Damn, this stuff looks like just what the doctor ordered. People even using it on their tires. Thanks!

    Yeah, I bought the stuff for my 2nd gen CRV as it has acres of plastic.
    Guess what? It works great for a final treatment for faded headlights! Been three months and they still look great.

    CERAKOTE Trim Coat is fantastic. I tried Solution Finish first and it was ok, but Cerakote Trim Coat blew that away!!!! Both in easy of application and performance.
