Product for Plastic Trim

[MPowerFarmer]

I have a 2010 X5 with the plastic bumpers and trim...by far the worst part about the car. It is started to look kind of grey and dry instead of black. I tried using basic Armor All for vinyl and plastics but it doesn't do much. Any recommendations?

I'm a fan of Meguiar's Trim Shine, but I suspect you will get a dozen
opins from the next dozen posters...it's whatever you like and, have
used, almost regardless of the ad nauseum "tests" on the net, imo.

My '01 X, and my '02 VetteVert's "black trim" still looks Titz, after
all these years.
Just my 50Cts...

+1 for meguiars stuff.

Mother's Back to Black lasts about as long as a fart.

Many people have also had luck with Forever Black

Also, be glad you don't have the M-sport package with the painted trim. Many people here are complaining about chipping and pitting from debris. From the photos I have seen, some look really bad already. The black trim will hold up much longer.

Click the bottom link in my last post. Then when that window opens, click the "where to buy 303" at the top right of the page. I got mine at a boat shop. Some car stores carry it, but seeing as you are in south Florida, it is probably at any boat shop near you.

I bought some a month or so ago, but haven't had time you use it, so I am not sure how long it will last. The Forever Black may be a good back up.

Awe hell, here you go...

Do you know of any products to get wax off the black trim?
I was pretty sloppy (okay, had my 7 year old help me wax) and it looks terrible.
I can't find anything to get it off.
Thanks
