Get some Mothers Back to Black and use a buffer to buff it into the plastic.

Its the best way I know of.

If its really faded, the difference is magical.

ahh, just use the oil rag you used when you changed your oil JK man.

I will give that stuff a shot Brent, maybe it will do some magic on my side molding.

After reading EvansBlue's post, and knowing the background of Mothers, I gave it a try...and brother, let me tell ya, this stuff exceeded my expectations by 1,000!

My trim wasn't too bad so all I did was apply small amounts with a small, round microfiber soft applicator. Went back over it after doing the entire Tahoe with the same damp applicator. It returned the trimwork to it's original, darker tones.

Thanks for posting about it...I highly recommend using it.

I have used many different products and that is about the most impressive I have seen for this purpose.

For all my plastic exterieurs I use armor all. It give a good shine and take care of the dull finish. You have to use it quite often especially after it rain because the product loose its shine after it get wet.
