Default black side moulding on 4th gen

the black side moulding on my car looks nearly grey now because it is so faded. i had been told before that armorall would bring back the black/shine but it only lasted so long. anyone have any ideas on how to shine them back up (short of painting them)...?

yeah, i'm not sure the dealership would even still sell 4th gen side molding anyway. looks like i've got some more painting projects for this summer.

my car has black moldings already...they're just very faded from being old and i want to make them match with the front and back bumper parts that are a darker, shinier black.
