Default How to Shine up Headlight Pockets??

Sorry i know LS1 camaros dont have headlight pockets like the LT1s and the 3rd gens do, but TGO is down for matienece and has been down alot in the past week and i need to know. I have a 92 heritage edition camaro...its got the black headlight pockets...but its flat black, as opposed to the gloss back of some of the other Z28's and Irocs. The paint is faded and theres water spots in there. What should i use to clean it up and looking nice again. I know alot of it is oxidized because i tried to wax it once and my pad ended up really black.

Is there any special product i should use. I really don't want to strip it off (on purpose or by accident) because then it would look like **** and i would have to have it repainted. Any help would be appricaited...

When I had my '97 i would just treat it with tire dressing. Shined up nice and lasted usually for awhile. Good luck.
