use armorall on all the plastic trim on the outside of your vehicle everytime you wash your car. It is repetitive but thats the only solution for faded black plastic.

I would recommend using a silicone based trim shine. It will hold up a lot longer than the standard Armorall.

For how long does it last? If I wash my car once a week - do I have to reapply the product?
