I used PoorBoys Trim restore. Used a foam applicator and took,a heat gun on low temperature and lightly heated it. Let it cool and wiped down reapplied with foam applicator looked new again. I kept putting it on after a weekly wash on my brother's 2012 faded fenders looks new. The product as the owner says works from the inside out. It probably adds the oils back into the plastic fenders.
a little bit of the product goes a long way.

I've used Aerospace 303, it works but doesn't seem to last in wet conditions.
Meguiars Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer is more like wax and less like Armorall, makes a deeper black, lasts longer and smells like suntan lotion.

Have a 2007 jk and my fenders are faded really bad. I've scrubbed them and I've tried the back to black stuff but it didn't last more than like a week. I also tried the heat gun but it didn't make much of a difference. Anyone know of anything else that will work so I don't have to but new ones?

I found out by accident really that the Turtle Wax interior dash cleaner spray leaves a perfect finish. Started spraying it on my fenders and bumpers regularly now and its been great. I really do hate plastic exterior trim, but when its clean, it looks alright. With that said, I've heard great things about the Chemical Bros and I wanted to try 303. Can't go wrong with highly recommended products when it comes to cleaning solutions.

I've used SC1 on faded fenders and my sons TJ hard top, it comes in an aerosol can and can be found at most motor cycle shops. Spray it on and let it sit for about 30 seconds and wipe off. The fenders and the hard top look like new again. Lasts for a few washes and then needs redoing.

I use 303 but keep regularly reapplying with a sponge to build up a coat & dont forget to rub dry / polish off
Brings it back like new, but keep reapplying as it can loose its finish after a week or so
