It's what they do. You can use some pig spit or similar shine BUT I'd paint it. Very worth while mod.

I like Vinylex made by Lexol. Restores faded plastic and makes it shine.

Try Forever Black http://foreverblack.com/products.html Just don't apply it with the applicator or it will streak. Get on a pair of plastic gloves and get a rag and apply like shoe polish.
