I use 303 aerospace on my Z71 plastics, works really well and adds UV protection. Ive heard good things about mothers back to black as well

+1 on the 303...great stuff for black composite parts. Satin sheen with UV protection but without artificial looking gloss.

I wonder if you could degrease/ clean the plastic really well and then hit it with some clear coat paint. Then they would be shiny all of the time.

I used the Mothers back to black on my BMW trim. It looked good for a few days but it doesnt last. I need to try some of the other methods above.

Heard some others on the forum saying Lemon Pledge was best. Back to black is what I've used but makes the side steps slippery as hell.

I guess pledge would be even worse and you would smell lemons in the garage...although thats not a bad thing in my garage.

I've used pledge on the pastiche trim on all my vehicles, works like a charm.
