Default What to use to clean/polish roof rack

What do you using to clean and restore the roof rack? (RX330) I haven't found anything on the forum about this - I've read elsewhere that people use WD-40. Thanks.

Restore? Little you can do, IMHO. Went ahead and removed mine like some of the others here. Sewell sells a part kit to fill the gaps left behind when you do so.

If you are trying to get off the chalk-like appearance of the black rook racks; this is what I have done.
Use Meguir's Professional series cutter- this will take off the chalk-colour
Once that has been done apply a wax- I use Meguir's V2.0 tech wax
I use a polisher for this to save time and shoulder wear

However, I'm eyeing the idea of the clean-top on my rx as well

I clean the rails with Meguiar's #40, then apply Gtechniq C4. It lasts about 20 times longer than other products. I also use the C4 on all of the exterior black plastic:
