    Maintaining black grille & door handles

    What do you recommend to keep the black honeycomb grille and black door handles shiny & black as they dry out and lighten to grey?

    I have been using a Meguiar's product called "Ultimate Black" for just that purpose...all exterior plastic, vinyl, & rubber trim such as bumpers, moldings, door handles, rearview mirror housings & windshield cowlings. It is safe to use and does not have a bad odor as some products do.

    I also use Meguiar' spray-on Detailer for those times when I want to remove the surface dust without using water...works really well, but be sure to use a microfiber towel so the dust will have somewhere to go instead of scratching the clear. There are several other spray-on Detailer products but I have not used them personally.

    Another good product to use is MOTHERS Back to Black, it's yellow in color and for some reason smells like bananas LOL. But brings all the trim parts back to a black shinny new finish.
