What to use on exterior black plastic?

I just bought an FJ Cruiser which has black plastic covering the bumpers. What's the best way to keep these black and not fade from the sun and become brittle looking?

Black Wow. Pricey, but effective.

Peanut butter.

I'm not joking.

Something with the oils in it keeps it from dulling.

Adams tire dressing. I use it on all the black plastic on my Tacoma and it looks new at almost 2 years and being parked outside every day. Best part is that it doesn't leave any gunk, and you can rub your hand on it after it dries and you don't have crud on you.

Lol easier would be peanut oil. I use Black Wow and Aerospace 303 depending on the trim. Also just got some CQuartz which I intend to try soon.

Black Wow is what I use too. But you kind of have to know what you are doing or it won't work.

Check out the how-to video here.

FOREVER BLACK

I spent alot of time trying to find the best and this is it. It restores the natural finish and lasts. I did wonders for moldings that were 10+ years old. ~15 for cleaner and product.
