For you piano black haters
I found that cQuartz DLux works well on the piano black and keeps the good look longer than what I was using before. I can't recall right now what that was, but this is better.
Since I have the 6MT, an aftermarket shifter surround just isn't going to happen. I thought about some vinyl wrap, maybe carbon fiber, but haven't found the motivation. Too many more important things to do.

I can't remember with certainty, but think I also used it on the panel at the top of the hatch where the shark fin mounts. I thought that was plastic but it isn't. It's painted, and whether it was the DLux or just the blistering sun, the paint crazed. Since it was on the side that gets more sun where I park, I'm blaming that. I swapped it out for a salvage piece and am considering wrapping the original. If I see some carbon fiber wrap that matches the real carbon fiber pieces I've got I'll give it a try.
Yes, that's it. It also did a great job on the original "wiper cowl" on my '91 Miata. I think it rolled back the age by 20 years, but did nothing for the same piece on the Jaguar. Different material

Maybe I would have been fine, but I didn’t wanna take the chance. My goto stuff for exterior and engine bay plastics is (use it on door sill plastics too):
Reviews say people really like this stuff, and my experience has been great…
I had actually purchased that product for both wheel and plastics, but in the end I decided not to use it on the plastics on a brand new car. At the time I had come across some references to people having it turn their plastics all white. More than one too…The theory was that sealing in brand new plastic prevented the plastic from then being able to off gas, leading to the issues.
