I'm not terribly big on buy a lot of car care products, but since my new truck has that black plastic on the exterior that turns kind of gritty looking it it isn't cared for, I was wondering what people are using for this that dust doesn't stick too. I guess I'm looking for something that leaves a thin layer to repel water and prevent water spots from adhering to the plastic, but doesn't turn white over time.
Something that does the same for rubber around the windows would be helpful too, since water spots show up on rubber as well.
I would also like to know if anyone has used something that makes the tires look a normal black (not glossy) that doesn't attract dust and turn brown. I normally don't mind the normal looking grey of aged tires, but it seems like every time I get the truck aligned or have anything done to it they manage to find the time to do me a "favour" by coating the tires with Armor-all, which makes me mad to no end because Armor-all permanently screws up tires and they look horrible a month later.
