i use the armor-all sp? protective gel i also use it on my windshield wiper covers.. sun caked and grey and it turns them gloss wet black and lasts a long time.

only problem is when it rains it tends to smear a little so i'm trying to find something better

Theyre painted that way. You will need to repaint it if you want it shiny.

yup

But if you clay bar and wax it it will have a nice satin finish.

Clay Bar! I spent about 10 mins on each one and I got mine to come out shinny. So much that they reflect the head lights! Then put Mothers cleaner wax on it and I was done. The Meguires NXT left streeks in the plastic, so the cleaner wax did best at bringing back the color.
