For the glass I use w waffle weave towel and then the MiraCloth rags that many people re-brand to buff them up.

The flat black paint on the hatch is another story and is really a terrible implementation by Chevy.

For that I used a good All Purpose Cleaner like Simple Green to get it as clean and uniform as possible and then treated it with a sealant that is made for trim, CarPro DLUX ( http://www.carpro-us.com/exterior-su...ating-sky-kit/ ).

That now works for me and the coating is shown in user reviews to last 1 year on external surfaces of a vehicle for over 1 year. I use it on my wife's truck that sits outside and in 9 months it looks the same as day 1 and still beads water.
