Default Treating The Rear Diffuser

Just did the winter wax (living in NYC) and was wondering how most folks were treating the rear diffuser....i.e. Armoral type product or equal? I'm not exactly sure what to put on it so I have left it alone for now...what is a generally acceptable product to treat this material with? Thanks in advance.

I've been using Poorboy's Natural Look on the rear diffuser, front spoiler, and tires. Tries quickly and leaves a matte finish.

Sounds like a product I need. Where do you find it?

I use RejeX. Some people will tell you not to. It does leave the black a little shinier, more of a satin than matte finish, but by no means glossy, and no white crud in the crevices. I just like the idea of something I can put on everything. And it does help keep it clean.

I use Turtle Wax's F21 on the tires & rear defuser.
RejeX on everything else including exhaust tips.

Poorboys Trim Shine, Black Again, and Mothers Back to Black are all nice choices.
