Autoglym - Vinyl & Rubber Care

Can be shiney (not stickey) or buffed down for a matte/natural appearance.

is that the quik interior detailer? the only one i've seen otherwise was a supreme shine protectant which i didn't bother with.

i was at glenn's earlier and he didn't mention the vinyl & rubber care when asked.

Turtle Wax has a chrome polish. I think Mother's has one too. Would that work?

I have the same problem with a grill and from what I read, there nothing really you can do. Those things aren't really metal just plastic with a thin chrome plating. You can try a plastic polish and it might help.

My grill and plating beyond help so I doh beatup over it
