I use chemical guys VRP on all the exterior plastic and tires and everything still looks new after 3 years.
The black plastic/rubber on new vehicles suck a$$$

My truck is parked outside all the time in Southern California. When brand new, I decide to try something I hadn't done before. I ceramic coated all the black plastic. I also had issues with the BakFlip MX4 tonneau cover turning grey after a few years. I also ceramic coated it. The tonneau cover looks okay, but I still spray it once a month with 303. However, the black plastic still looks new after a year and I'm not using any dressings on it. I do spray wax and wipe the truck and I don't worry about hitting the plastic. No stains or whitening..
With that said, both of my wife's Acuras, a 2016 and a 2024 never needed anything on the plastic and always looked. Her car is parked in the garage 24/7.

Try Solution Finish, works good and lasts for awhileWhere 2 or 3 rains the black goes to!!!
The major manufacturers actually own every car product on the market. Is ridiculous we have to travel with some kind of trim dressing to keel our 60-80k vehicles looking new. This is one of my biggest frustration’s. The same frustration’s continues with my wife’s 100k Denali!
What say y’all?
I had not even thought about using a magic eraser; following your recommendation, I tried it in a couple of very tough spots which still had a hint of white (from one of my synethetic polishes) and it cleared 99% although it took some rubbing. I'm very careful now and use builders masking tape.

I've learned that the hard way as well. A couple minutes with painters tape saves hours of frustration later.
I have a 2month old AT4 HD with the same issue.Where 2 or 3 rains the black goes to
