I tried Mothers Back to Black and was impressed with the results. It smells yummy too Brent

Yeah, Back to Black is a good product... That's what I use now, too.
Don't use vinyl protectant - it may look good, but it will leave a filmy residue that looks like ass after a while on the pieces parts.

I use this stuff called BLack Chrome. It also works great if you get white wax residue on any of the black surfaces like side moldings and stuff. It's kind of a syrupy bblackish gray goop, but it keeps everthing black as night.

Black Chrome or Mothers Back-to-Black are the best products I have used. FYI, if you don't allow any products to touch your trim, you will keep it looking better longer. (Hope that makes sense)

Midnight.
Either product I currently mentioned might be helpful, but no guarantee. Try a little on a small area, it won't make it worse, of that I am sure. And NEVER let those folks at Car Washes put interior dressing on ANYTHING in your car.
