    I hate to start a new thread but I searched around and didn’t find a lot of answers on this.

    Has anyone out there found a solution for keeping the OR Black fenders, Step Bumper and black trim on the roof from fading? I have a California truck that sits outside the majority of the time and am trying to keep the plastic from fading over time.

    Any products/solutions are appreciated!

    You could always rhino line them. It would also improve fuel economy while increasing horsepower.

    Father time undefeated! There are different types of restore products but you will always be treating it. Similar to headlights after 10-15 yrs its better off replace new set. I restored headlights eventually it goes back no stopping it unless u garage most of the time. I like the look of 303 it does wash off.

    I love 303s new graphene spray. I probably won’t use anything else going forward.

    I hear you on that, there’s no doubt I won’t l stop it from fading! Just looking to slow it down and keep the trim looking fresh. I figure I’ll put it on when I wax the truck
