Damn, Krypton satin black, where would I get that? Should I just follow Superman there?

J/K, Krylon satin black for plastics seem to be the choice to cure the faded plastics.

Sorry, kinda off subject but for faded plastics, whatever my detail guy uses, restores the hell outta it. My expedition was faded to hell, tried a few different off the shelf products, didnt do much, a few applications of whatever he uses, works amazing, ill talk to him friday when he does the f-1 and see what it is.

I just gave him a call, he said he just uses water based tire dressing, hes sponsered by mothers so i assume that. Id say it was 3-4 applys (once a week) made them literally bran new, and they were bad.... He said wash them real good, let them dry, apply it heavy with out it running with an applicator, wipe the excess off, kind of rubbing it in as you rub it off. Works great.

If you rub it in and wipe all access off, its not going to run. Ive never had an issue once on either of the 3 vehicles he does and has detailed for me, nor my familys cars either. He details alot of high end cars and has contracts with barret jackson. Im gunna assume he knows what hes doing haha.
