A product you can get in paint stores called "Penetrol" works very well and is easy to apply. I did the heat gun thing and ended up with green blotches!

I just went to the hardware store and got spray paint for plastic. Look's really good.

I use this stuff, it's been recommended by others in this forum. 303 protectant. It's brought my flares back to black and I use it on all my trim and interior.

I paint them but "Mothers Back-toBlack" works ok

...or until the first wash. I've had reasonable luck with ordinary black plastic based outdoor paint. I used a round stiff artist style brush to apply it so it has a stippled surface rather than looking like cheap paint.

I'm pretty happy with "Back to Black".

Well, of course. They don't stink if you wash them off in the nearest creek every now and then.

I've had good luck with Armorall and a similar, silicone based product that claims to restore flat black surfaces.

I can't remember the name of the "black restorer", but I bought it in the wax section of a local Advance Auto parts store. It was either a Mother's or Mequires product.

I just let all the products soak in and wipe off the excess.

Mothers Back To Black...it works well...or spray bomb them..I've even heard one guy tell me he uses black shoe polish and says it's perfect.. Jeff '03 TJ & '95 ZJ

Just bought some Penetrol. I've heard it works well. Gonna go put it on now.

I'll third that.

Dave, Check out this old post. Two years out and still looks like new despite Minnesota weather. Regards,
