Mine have some issues with discoloration. i have used every product i can think of to bring the original black luster back to life with no lasting results.

I use 303 Protectant and it gives mine a very deep black gloss.

I have seen some hydro dipped in carbon fiber and they look good if the rear diffuser and front splitter are done too.

While I use both 303 and Adams VRT, the Adams seems to work better on the rockers, skirts, and rear diffuser. I like 303 better on rubber parts and gasket/door seals. Once you get it looking the way you want you could always considering ceramic sealing it. Don’t have an issue with mine as the car sits covered on a lift except when going out during the summer so it is showroom condition.

I’ll have to check out Adams VRT. Like you, my car has never seen rain so a little 303 and it looks brand new. 303 does seem to collect road dust though so I’m curious to know how it compares to Adams VRT on that front.

They are both going to collect the front brake dust or any dust on the road. 303 tends to stay moist a little longer as it is more of a preservative for rubber and gaskets. Adams dries quicker as its was targeted for plastic coverings.
