I use Kiwi Mink Oil (yes the shoe waterproofer) on all the black plastic trim on my 2005 X5. Apply with a foam applicator, let dry and buff to a satin sheen with a terry cloth. Great stuff as it is a water repellent so won't wash off easily and is resistant to car wash soap. I use the NXT car wash and have not seen any dulling of the trim since I applied before winter. I absolutely hate the shiny, greasy look on trim and tires. The Mink Oil result is satin at best, but provides a deep rich, dark appearance. My bumpers, running boards and wheel arch trim were chalky from the elements. They now look like new.
