    I would try C4, it has the best longevity out of any product I have tried.

    Apply this to the trim, let it sit for about 10-15 mins, and wipe off with a microfiber towel. this will last about 36 months.

    I agree with ace96. I use it once a year and the plastics look great.

    Only downside is that is for black only (correct me if I am wrong). Prep seems to be a bit more tidious if not done correctly it will run.

    I will keep this in mind next time I need a refill.

    Rust-Oleum Wipe New ReColor, used it tonight on a used bed cover and sun faded predator steps. Been using it for years on everything, Jeep JK shitty fenders, shutters, chairs, even my lawn mower. Will last for years before fading and if it does start to fade then just wipe it down again. 20180710_210614.jpg 20180710_211915.jpg

    I find 303 works well on some plastics but not others. It makes the trim around my mirrors have a nice deep black and seems to last for a while.

    My bed rails, tailgate handle and rear bumper are pretty faded and 303 helps at first but fades somewhat quickly.

    There are coatings out there that will keep that from happening. 303 is an ok dressing but if you want any sort of longevity a coating is the way to go.
