Recommended product to restore black trim and fender flares

My wife drives a 2010 Wrangler Islander and I am hoping to restore the black (now dull gray) fenders and trim. Can anyone recommend a product that will last the longest? thanks and Happy Holidays all

Tossing the plastic in the trash and replacing them with painted metal is the best long lasting fix.

Others have used 303 Protectant to help restore and bring back the black color.

Back to Black (Mothers or Meguier brands). Found at any auto store or WalMart.

Turtle wax trim restore in the green bottle works well.

I just did a facelift on our '03 TJ. I had done this to the speaker pods last year and had debated using it on the 'exterior' plastic. I was concerned that it would peel, flake, fade, and generally look worse than before I did anything & that was holding me back.
But a year + into the rework on the usually exposed speaker pods convinced me to give it a try...

Believe it or not, Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric paint.
Spray can that you can get at your local auto parts shop.

Be sure to clean and possibly even sand and/or prime the fenders first, but a few good coats of this paint and the side steps, lower fender trim, front bumper filler, & front bumperettes all look NEW.

I'm even thinking about a coat or two on the mirrors now.

I use the 303 as well with good results. The best thing about it is that it isn’t greasy and holds up well. Now like most things, after a couple washes or heavy rains it may need another coat, but that’s gonna be the same with most anything except paint.

I use Meguiars Ultimate Black trim restorer. Just spray it on and walk away.

I use the 303 as well and it works well

I swear by Trim Renew from Rugged Restore:

1 application still looks good after 2 years! I do it once every spring.
