Best product for dull plastic trim

My Tundra has several pieces of plastic trim on the exterior. Over time it has gone from black to dull gray. What is the best thing I can use to get it to look as new as possible?


btw thats 'trim' in the title, not 'trip'

Edit: all fixed aviator

Mothers makes a product called Back to Black which works GREAT.



However, since it is faded black plastic, the only way to get it back is to buy new plastic. But in time, the suns UV rays will fade that too.

I'm pretty damn meticulous with the Tundra so applying something like that every week or so is only a matter of adding an extra few minutes to my weekly wash and wax. I just want something thats gonna make it look the way its supposed to.

If your plastic lenses are getting dull there are a few products sold for the aviation market that might work one is called Plexus it works great on plastic windows and is supposed to remove yellowing from the soft clear vinyl type windows as well but I've never tried it...
