The solution is constant application or the utilization of a good 'booster' wax spray like Optimum Spray Wax inbetween your main applications. DP & WW are good products but, the conditions that they're subjected to -- well, I'm not sure that anything is going to do a stellar job.

If you want to get a bit more gloss, Poorboy's Natural Look Dressing does a great job. Again, it's good on the UV protection side but it offers a bit more 'pop'. The smell from the product is very 'sweet' (not sure if that's your cup of tea) but, I find it to be acceptable (it's not overwhelming by a long shot -- it actually smells quite nice, IMO).

My suggestion, try a few light-cut products (like SSR 1 or Meg's #9) on a 'spot' and see what you can accomplish. Without seeing it, it's kind of a hard call on what may or may not solve the problem.
The rule of thumb on this item is to not get too aggressive but to treat it like paint -- because it is. I've actually seen a guy or three on here try to coat that part in 303 or Vinylex or something similar... trust me, don't do that.
I hope that helps a tad...
