@ATL_R1S Thank you so much! What I have now requires extreme diligence, very watery and runny and then you have to buff it in. Ti top it all off it doesn’t last very long. ??

I use this for treating the trim and it works great. I don't know if it lasts longer than what you're using but it's really easy to apply and gets rid of stubborn dirt and grime after a wash.

This has worked really well for me:

I've been using this for a couple of years. Doesn't leave a heavy residue and will last through a couple months of storm cycles. It won't lock in defect like some other "ceramic" treatments. Works well on all rubber and plastic parts. Bed cap ends on the R1T, crossbars, and plastic trim under the wipers. Also cleans up the area in the grill very well and makes it match the piano black, almost...

PS. I am not a car guy and so I may be screwing it up; but it seem to work well ?

+1 for this stuff. 1 application lasts about a year. You just have to be careful not to get it on the paint.

Once every 6-8 months or so seems to be working great at maintaining the coating and depth, though it'll definitely last longer. Just depends on how often you wash it.

What do you use to get the dirt off the plastic. I've washed regular and deep down scrubbed, but when it drys dirt marks reappear.

I've been happy with the 303 aerospace protectant.

Then coat it with one of the products mentioned (I’ve been very happy with Cerakote wipes)

I’ll second this. Amazing stuff. Was the first thing I added to mine after the ppf.
