How to keep engine bay hoses black and shiny???

Hey.. all my hoses under the hood are all faded looking... is there anything i can use to make them stay glossy black looking?... i have cleaned the hoses numerous times but they only stay clean looking until the cleaner dries up....

im in the middle of detailing my engine bay and i want the hoses to look nice also......

thanks in advance guys!

You can try the stuff they use to make the tyres black.Or otherwise the liquad shoe polish,it comes in a bottle,with a songe on the front of the ontainer.Maybe something in the McQuires range ?(Sorry cant spell that.)

I use this stuff called engine detailer. You can buy it at the auto store, probably in the car cleaning isle. U just spray it on, let it dry up, then run the car for a while and it keeps all the plastic and rubber stuff look real nice. I belive it's the same stuff they use at the dealership when u buy a new car. My bro did it to his car and it looked very nice!
