Rejuvenate Black Trim

Today I rejuvenated the black plastic trim and roof rails on my 01' X5. I had noticed that the plastic around the wheel wells and under bumper trim was looking dull and chalky.

I used Klasse vinyl and rubber protectant and everything came out looking great. Ordinarily, I use Klasse on the interior dashboard and other plastic trim inside the car. I used to use spray silicone, but I heard that that actually accelerated sun damage.

I have the glossy black sport window trim, which generally gets waxed with the rest of the car. I thought there were only two types of window trim; black sport and chrome. Is there another?
