    mine is exactly like that. I used some sealant on it worked for a few days.

    Exterior plastics need to be treated just the same as waxing the paint. Basically acts like a sunscreen.

    I've got 303 wipes. Seems to hold up well so far. Mine is garage kept (only at night). Sits out during the day in some pretty gnar-dog weather though.
