This may sound weird, but I've heard of folks rubbing creamy peanut butter on the black plastic and then wiping it off with a damp cloth. I guess it's something to do with the oil in it that gives it a shine. Just hope you don't attract squirrels...and elephants!

Sure it isn't flat black? Flat black is flat black and can't be shined. If Black to Black doesn't do anything I'd clean it with soap and water and leave it alone.

Did you try "Armor all"? The only thing is that you have to wipe it off as soon as you put it on and not on hot plastic.

And it will take a little elbow grease to. Don't put to much.

The black sections on my 2009 mirrors are a "sand grained" hard plastic, with a flatter finish, due to the graining. I doubt if they could ever be made shiny. The plastic at the "bottom" of the windshield (I assume you mean where the wipers are) is a softer plastic, with a "matte" finish. Again, I don't think this can be made shiny black. This recessed area also would not be seen by most people other than looking through the top of the windshield or looking down the windshield from the outside.
