I have had good results with a product called Stoners Trim Shine. After cleaning the engine bay just spray it all and walk away.
AutoGeeek carries it.

I've had great success with "Forever black" dye.
Works great on plastics and other porous and semi-porous surfaces.

The stuff I used is the TV stuff, it's called "Wipe New" or just type in the name in a web search. I used it and it is all it claims to be. But don't overlap a single wipe or you'll cause a streak in the gloss, but you can simply do it again and change the glossy finish. It worked fine for me and I've tried everything from all the manufacturers and none of them worked like this stuff. Great stuff for black plastic dashes.
You'd make a good politician.

What I find amazing is that I've been detailing cars for 50 years.. Very few things impress me. Zaino paint protectant impresses me.. as far as this black trim stuff goes. I've tried them all Grotts, aerospace 303, even Zaino stuff, back to black and all types of formulas to prevent UV dullness. and Every one of these products are endorsed by people here on this forum and non of them impress me.. I bought Aerospace 303 for the black trim on my wife's SUV and it looks great when you put it on, just like any other product for this application but get caught in a rain shower and its off the next day. IN fifty years I have not found one product that protects from UV rays and repels water and still stays shiny, and fresh.. Also the myriad of disulfides with silicone out there like armorall, suck all the oils out of the plastic in the cleaning process, making it a silicone junkie.. the more you use it, the more you need to use it. Most of these products actually turn the black trim white..
Nothing at this point last a few weeks or a month. people brag about aerospace 303 and its water based. it might be great on an interior but exterior parts that are exposed to rain or the environment have no real protection using 303.
