Frame fade

A few ago I went through a dry lake bed in Death Valley, and now my frame is not as black and shiny..

Any suggestions as to what to use to make it shiny again and protect it..
I used lanolin protectant in October and I've taken it through Baja, Mohave and Death Valley

Frames should be the color of dirt and dull.

There is AMSOIL HDMP and T9 BoeShield plus most likely a few others.

I sprayed AMSOIL on it when I first got it. That should work to protect it if you can find something to bring back the shine. Adam's has an undercarriage spray but not sure if it's for the entire undercarriage or just wheel wells like they mainly talk about.

Buy a bump stop and you won't see that spot anymore.

Chemical Guy's Bare Bones is another option, but don't expect it to be anywhere near close to permanent. I would also test it in a small area first to make sure it isn't a dust attractant, although it claims to not be. I've used it before on cars before and didn't notice a lot of dust collection from street use, but I'm not sure how it would be with the dirt/dust you guys typically get when offroading.

I have the same problem too. I thought a Raptor meant to get (and stay) dirty.

It definitely gets dirty, but I want it to look as if it hasn't seen dirt ever

I want to care this much about my frame. I really do. But somehow, I just... don't. I commend you David Banner aka @FODE.

On a side note and totally unrelated to the stated question, I've always wondered if the Hulks ***** grew all wild and crazy like his hair and eyebrows when he got pissed. I'd be like " Don't make me angry, Ill have to shave my ***** hair again"

If your interested , I could, one day, give a whole dissertation about all the metaphors within the story of The Incredible Hulk . Or not.

I think his carpet would match his drapes.. Lol.
I'd like to hear your dissertation on it.
