Faded Trim?
I think a lot of people are probably curious as to the best thing to use on faded trim.
I had used some Stoner's stuff at one point that worked ok, but faded quickly.
Thanks

As for trim care, try cleaning the area up really well with some alcohol and water (50:50, regular rubbing alcohol), wipe it off and let the area dry then hit it with a good trim restorer product. This will dissolve any polish, wax, glaze, oil, etc. and provide your with a fresh surface. A popular restorer off the top of my head are Poorboys Trim Restore. Back to Black is a good pick up for over the counter product. If you actually want to color the plastic you could get Leatheriques Rubber Black, but I'd try cleaning and using a good dresser first.
If you do go with trim restore, maybe grab a bottle of 303 Aerospace Protectnant just to use after washes. It won't restore trim like the first too, but it's a good dressing and protects it from uv rays - nice and durable too.
Hope this helps.

Let me know if you have any other questions.
