Keeping factory grille dark, unweathered
 
Hey everyone.

I have an unmodded '07 Monte LT, and am looking for advice as to the best way to keep my factory grille (both down low in the front bumper cover and between the headlights) looking assembly-line fresh and dark. The last car I had (a '97 import) had its similar black plastic panels (grille, rocker panels) turn mottled and blotchy gray over time, and I'm looking for some product to apply that will prevent that from happening this time.

Also, something that will -last-. The milky, water-based protectants don't seem to last past the first rainfall.

Suggestions?

I use Turtle Wax Ice, but it's not real long lasting. Someone got something better?

Vinylex! Its made by Lexol, the company that makes the leather cleaner/ conditioners. Vinylex seems to work really well, and last for a decent amount of time.
