What cleaning product to use on plastic exterior trim?
As the title states, what cleaning product are you guys using on the black plastic exterior trim i.e. under the windshield wipers and around the mirrors? I used Mother's Back to Black for a while but it would only keep the shine for about a day and then get dull again.
The salt on the roads has been pretty brutal this year, and the plastic is looking pretty dull even after washing my car. I tried searching but nothing really concise concerning the plastic trim came up. Thanks in advance guys.

I use 303 Aerospace Protectant. I can honestly say that I swear by it. It was first introduced into the marine industry for boats then more and more auto enthusiasts began to discover this product.. I've used it on my roommates SI and now my IX, and it performs as promised. It acts as a sunscreen for plastic, vinyl, leather, etc. and provides 100% UV protection. The stuff is a little pricey compared to armor all and other brands but it lasts a lot longer. It does enhance the depth of the black and creates a satin shine. Try it, you'll like it.

Okay, the thread title is about CLEANING trim, yet everyone has posted in here about the product that PROTECTS trim. Nothing wrong with 303...I use it as well.
As far as clenaing, though, make a 10:1 all purpose cleaner solution (water:apc) and wipe with microfiber....that will clean gently and thoruoghly. THEN you can use the 303 aerospace protectant.
