Forever Black
Its a dye. Workes really well. My parents done it on their trail blazer bumper. I was really impressed. It dosent wash off. Ill be using it when mine start to fade. However they bought 2, theirs were amost white and took multiple coats.

I have seen a few YouTube videos of people restoring theirs with heat guns but, I cannot attest to whether or not it really works.

Default 303

I tried Back to Black and I wasn't impressed. I then googled... and discovered 303 Aerospace Protectant which worked really well. Its available at All Americans. It works awesome for the soft top as well.

Deuce. How does plasti dip hold up on the fenders? I've been thinking about using it but was concerned about whether it would peel off of the plastic the way it is supposed to.

The heat gun works , especially on really bad cases, but be careful ,do it as they advise. I tried the peanut butter thing-amazing!!! Its lasted now for 3 weeks !! I haven't washed it yet tho. Its been raining here alot and its held up really well. A bit of a mission to apply ,and don't put too much on ( difficult to polish up then) Its the ground nut oil, of course.
