What have you found that works well to clean and protect the exterior black plastic trim pieces (wheel wells, front and rear bumper covers)? I don't want something that leaves it looking glossy or shiny but does make it appear more black than a dull grey.

I'm using up about a quart and a half of years old Armorall on my tires, black painted rims and plastic trim around the bottoms. The dull, flat look is to my liking. My brother bought it years ago and never used it so I'm using it where needed without spending money. Treatment lasts about a few weeks then fades.

many waxes/ polishes leave a white residue that is hard to remove.
Some ceramic coatings state to not use on plastic trim.
Mother's Back to Black does a nice job of keeping the black, black
