a lot of people also said that they used one of the following:

Linseed oil which u can get from bnq [This lasts a while a few months evidently]
Shoe polish [ only lasts a few weeks but is the easiest to apply]
Heating the plastic up [hardest to get right but lasts for a very long time]

If your trims really faded try using a heat gun.

Don't know if any of you guys have tried it but it worked for me.

Check out G-Techniq c4 nano tech trim restorer. Not c that cheap for a 15ml bottle but works wonders and last for up to 2 years. I reviewed this product on SW cruise website.

Just google G-Techniq

I would stay away from heat guns on plastic bumpers. your burning the plastic slightly so it goes black again.
