Default best black trim restore?

Hey guys, anyone know of a product that doesn't wash off the flares and other plastic after driving in the rain?
I've literally tried half the O'Reilly products and they all pretty much suck.

Full report: Best Exterior Car Trim Cleaners - Consumer Reports

Excerpt from Consumer Reports:

Bottom line.Two products—ReNu Finish and Wipe New—really stood out, far outlasting all others. They brought back a rich, dark finish to our panels and maintained that look for 70 days and 10 washes. But both come in small bottles that provide far less product than the others.

Back to black is pretty good. It stays on longer than others. I've also used McGuires and it works well also.

I use an oily tire shine by Meguiars on the fender flares. It's greasy and messy, but it lasts for a long long time. I'm planning to get the Raider Raider full body armor, and say to hell with all the flares, but this works for now.

Ya know, I was tossing those around too. Full armor is in my future!

I just love that they delete the flare entirely. Also, I'm going to stretch and comp cut mine, and they have the most customizable choices of armor that I can fine.

I always use superior cover all from o reilly's. you usually have to ask for it specifically to get it. It usually lasts me about a month before I redo it
