Stuff I like the best, 'Forever Black'. It's OE quality black plastic dye. No oil/residue, clean dye

I tried tons of these things and like Turtle Wax Plastic Restorer best. Its lasted months so far. No oily residue. It didn't make it look fake or plasticky. Just made it look how it came from the factory. Worked well on the fenders, bumpers, door handles, etc.

I put this on yesterday and I'm really happy with the results so far. I only had time for the front fenders and they look so much better than the rest of the trim right now

Been reading this thread for a while and decided to pick up some Turtle Wax trim restorer 2 weeks ago. Fenders are still looking like now, even after the snow and a few washes.

I've been using Turtle Wax ICE Liquid Wax since I bought the Jeep for almost two years. It takes the fading away for about two months +\- but I try to apply it after every wash or every other wash to the paint, glass windows inside and out, soft top windows ( takes the water marks away ), bumpers and fenders it works pretty well. I apply it freely and the bottle has lasted me for 2 years and still have about 1/4 left. So for $6-7 a bottle every other year you can't beat it best bang for my buck in my opinion.
