What do you all use to clean the plastic section under the bumper? Just wash and towel dry, or do you put something like Armour All on?

Thanks.

what I use and it's not for that but works well is called Black Magic Semi-Gloss Dash Board Protectant. I spray a bit on a piece of cloth and wipe it on the chin lip and the mud flaps and the rear lower "bum lip" and they look like new again.

ummm actually no I just dust it. I bought it for my old Tundra and it was quite nice and didn't leave a greasy sheen on it. On the Prius I just dust them or a moistened with water soft cloth (microfiber) and a quick wipe.
