Well my exterior trim (as some of you have seen I hope) is fading. Most of the soft plastic/rubber is more gray than black now. What can I do to rekindle it? Armor All works temporarily, but I'm looking for more long term.

You can kinda see it around my windows and such.

try the industrial tire shine, or any tire shine spray on a rag and rub it on the weather stripping. that should bring a nice shine to it.

Back to black should work. Repeated attempts might be required over a period of days.

I swear by Poorboy's Trim Restore. I've tried Back to Black and the Poorboy's blows it away.

The only other thing you could try is Forever Black. It's actually a dye for rubber and vinyl.

Once again, thanks! My trim is probably the least pleasant part of my car (besides all the damn rust below it!!!!!) And having a product to fix it up is a big help.
