Ok, what's the best way to keep this stuff looking good?

I'm not looking for Keep it out of the sun or use Armor All. I'm wondering if there is some kind of UV protectant coating or something that works real well?

Any ideas are appreciated guys.

Mother's Back to Black works wonders in that area.

 

I agree. I've used it twice now and it looks a lot less faded.

 

I used Back to Black last night... picked it up at Advance Auto for $7. It goes on easily and is easy to wipe off of paint and glass if you accidentally get some on it. I wiped down the plastic along the cowl and the wiper arms as well as the rubber molding around the windshield/side windows and the plastic border around the T-tops.

To me it looked like it gives you the shine that Armor All does... only it isn't quite as greasy? I also used it to wipe down the center console while I had it pulled out doing a shifter swap. It's been in the car for ~24hours now and it hasn't attracted much dust at all... I was impressed.

 

Thanks guys, I'll definitely try Back to Black out.

Love my car but the plastic stuff I mentioned is one of the worst things about the exterior of these cars. I guess I could just start taking the time to throw the cover on her when she has to sit in the sun for a while.

Poorboy's Trim Restorer. Here are some before and after pics....my trim still looks like this after doing it over 2 months ago. All of the wax is permanently remove, and the stuff is totally safe. Leaves behind a protective coating too....for more UV protection, look into Poorboy's Natural Look. It leaves behind a very satin, non-greasy look.

I use back to black on the window's outer belt molding and it shines like the black triangle piece next to the pillar. I use 303 Aerospace on the cowl, wiper nut cover, weatherstrip(yes, works better than silicone spray), sill panel, interior panels and dash. It restores the color and it's like sunblock for plastic and has NO greasy feeling at all.
Haven't tried the Back to Black on plastic yet, though.

 

I ripped my wiper covers off the first day I owned my car. I think they look gay (bulky and ugly) and also limit your visibility. Car looks much better without them JMO though.
