Default Hatch back blacked underside

I am trying to maintain the black underside of my coupe's hatchback.
I have tried to use a spray detailer production it as well as "Spray Way" glass cleaner. Nothing I am doing is working and giving me that flat black look that is factory.
Anyone having a tried and tested solution to this problem would be appreciated. I guess I am a bit over the top when it comes to appearance of my 15 year old C5..I like the factory new look.

May have to try some of those things. It is difficult to keep that particular area looking good.

I would suggest posting this in the car care section of the forum. There are some professional car detailers that hang out there and maybe able to help.
