Default Conditioning the black plastic.

What do you guys do to keep you door handles, fender flares and all the othe misc. black plastic looking good? mine is starting to fade slightly and i dont want it to get beyond repair, and it makes the truck look bad. everything ive tried doesnt seem to do anything, im sure there is something out there for this.

I use "Back To Black" and put it on about every 3-5 months or so and does the trick. Got it at Pepboys for like 12 bucks. Makes it slick for the first week or so, so I wouldn't recommend doing it if ya gotta use your plastic pieces to get into the bed (( I use my step on the flareside ))
