Honda Element Owners?
 

Do you use any kind of special product on the plastic part of the car to make it shine?, I'm afraid to put anything on for fear that it may leave spotting.

I know when I had the plastic panels on my '03, I used Meguiars NXT Next Generation Plastic dressing which is really good and I also used Mother's Back to Black. Makes no difference that the color isn't black. I found these products hold up very nice even in rain and car washes and you don't have to worry about that streaking where rain makes it run over the other finishes. I have an EX'P now and no longer have to worry with that.
