How to clean and protect large plastic textured exterior panels?

Just to confirm what everyone else is saying. I would go with UTTG, DLUX, or Opti-coat.

I've had good results using Meguiar's Ultimate Wax-LIQUID on 'bumpy' plastic surfaces...like mirror heads, windshield cowling, etc. The stuff doesn't leave that ugly white residue.

Opti-coat worked nicely for me. I was doing the whole car anyway. It doesn't make the plastic look as deep glossy black as some other stuff, but it's got the durability to make up for it.

I too like PoorBoys Trim Restorer

On my 08 Cooper, I just give the black trim around the car a swipe of Opti Bond on a sponge and its lasts quite a while. I used UTTG on the plastic and though it was probably protecting it didn't give a nice clean deep look i was looking for on this car. I guess it depends on the look and feel you are looking for as well.
