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

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.
Hope this helps man.
