    Wheels and tires...so far.
    Any suggestions for reviving this faded plastic?

    Best bet is lightly sand and rattlecan black paint made for bumper and trim

    If you want your plastics back to black I would recommend Solution Finish Black Trim Restorer. I used it on all my plastics and it’s held up great for the last couple months. It goes a long way with an option of 1 oz or 12 oz. just use this with a small rag and maybe a foam brush to get into crevices. Works like magic. I’ll post some before and afters.

    Sorry for blowing this up with pictures, but here’s one with the bumper. Right before and left after.

    It’s been 2 months since I got it and looks exactly the same. Don’t know how long yet but I’ll update.

    Rit dye, or just buy new ones and start getting in the habit of keeping them covered with 303 Aerospace.

    I know you guys won't believe it, but that Wipe New stuff actually works. I use it on both my tacomas. I used to use Mothers Back to Black, but the Wipe New last a lot longer.

    I second this WIPE NEW actually does work and that little bottle goes a long way. Stinks like hell but it works. If you don’t like this method try a heat gun
