Are you using any type of product or just soap and water to get those deep blacks on the legs and wire cart at the bottom?

Specifically like @Jason and @SixZeroFour Performers-



Smokey Joe Black, Smokey Joe Lime Green, Original Kettle Premium Black,'92 Red OTS, Yellow Simpson's 22, 78 Red MBH, '80 Black MBH, '10 Brick Red Performer,'12 Grass Green Performer, '03 Blue SSP, '97 Blue SSP, 18 inch WSM

It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

Is a simple hand polish, using tears from a baby lamb.

;D

When I first got this performer a couple years ago, I completely tore it down to restore it. I used car wax on the black frame. Since then, I just wipe it down with a damp towel to remove the ash dust. If you really want your grill to look good, I recommend completely taking it apart to give it a good cleaning. Do this once and it will be pretty easy to keep it looking good. A cover helps too.

Maquires makes a product called Back to Black which works great on dark surfaces.   I use it on my motor cycles, cars, my Performer or anything that is black and I want it to shine again.

Poor lamb. Someone else just cooked up its leg on another thread. Now we're using tears!

I agree with Jason - it's all about keeping it clean and undercover. Haven't tried the wax but do use Weber's Exterior Grill Cleaner to keep the outside nice and clean.
