ZL1 lower Black front and side skirts have white spots

What are you guys using to keep your lower front and side skirts Black. Mine have some white/gray spots and nothing I use helps turn it back to black.

Thanks for the help.

Mother Back to Black works wonders on plastics.

A word about Mothers Back to Black - it is just a coating, it doesn't actually clean/fix anything. I tried this stuff on my vinyl stripes, and although it looks great at first, after each wash the stuff comes off and after a few washes the stripes are back to crap.

Any back to black product will fix it (Back to Black, VLR, etc.). It is the nature of the material. Some people don't mind the dry look of the plastic, while others don't like the look that much. It goes without saying that you should avoid putting any wax or polish product on the plastic parts.

I only need to apply the dressing once a year on my lower skirt and chin spoiler. I like VLR personally. This product smells nice and it seems to last.
