You can use Mothers back to black. You can get it any Auto Zone, Straus, Pep boys...etc... I had the same problem and now they look like new after like 2 applications.....you just keep applying everytime you clean your car....

yeah I'll try that on my rear window weather stripping, it's all faded and crap. I hope that makes em look better. Also, if the black to black stuff doesnt work, just go junkyard shopping, I see 4th gens all the time in there, it sux looking for 5th g's though, I've found 3 out of all the junkyards I have around.

A cheap alternative is using Rustoleum Semi-Gloss or Satin Black. It will give the apprearance of having been Armor-Alled without that oily, greasy feel to it; and you'd never have to reapply the Armor-All. The semi-gloss or satin works well on wiper arms and stock chin spoilers (for when you slop wax on them while waxing your car and didn't catch it, making it hazy white). This painting has been tested on both my Accord and a 93 BMW 318is, with excellent results.
Stay away from the gloss or high gloss black, as it doesn't look good on most cars (but its your car, so what the heck), and if it cracks due to door dings, it'll be more obvious (as we found out on the BMW).
tc all.
