Hey -
Just picked up a 01 Cobra and the car looks great over all. The only thing I would like to do is to freshen up the way some of the black plastic pieces on the outside of the of the car (on the fake side air intakes, the cowl, hood "vent" and around the fog lights). All of these areas just look a little dull.

Any suggestions would be great.

If your cheap as me you could just use Tire wet on the black plastic. I do that on my car every couple of months. Keeps it black and shiney

I picked up some back to black stuff last night

The little black plastic piece in the hood and in the side "air intakes" were kind of chalky looking....
man, they look brand new now. I'll probably go over it again with the stuff when I wash the car next time...

worked like a charm.

yea..you should apply it every week..and after 3months..u can apply it once every 3 weeks..because the stuff gets embedded into the plastic and it repels dust/dirt...
