I was wondering if anyone else has a really dull nosecone? I have polished my car and the metal parts of the car look amazing now but the nosecone still looks dull... Is there some special wax I can use to get it shiney again or is it a lost cause?

Good question? Have you tried using a rubbing compound & buffer? That or a wax with a high abrasive content will take away laters of the fadded paint.
Mine is also the same and the back bumper always seems to fade along with the mirrors.
Good luck/skill!

My back bumber looks really nice, it is actually shinnier than some parts of the car itself.... It looked like someone hit part of it with a sandblaster small part tho... I have tried turtle wax black polish and that made it look nice for a couple of days but then it faded again.... dont know if it is just that the wax isnt sticking as well to the plastic or what it is. Is there such a thing as wax for plastic?

take it to a professional detail shop and fork over $120+ they'll make it shine

Try the tire shine stuff.

tire shine stuff says specifically to not get on paint/wheels....

I dont want to use anything abrasive because it will take off the paint also... It seems to me it is a problem of getting the wax to stick to the car not so much anything else.

Mothers or Mequires 3 stage wax. Does wonders. Some elbow grease required though.
