Oxidized Trim i've looked, and can't seem to find anyone who's posted anything with this. Is there something that will take the oxidation off the trim around the hatch, t-tops, and windshield at like an autozone or o'reillys?
Bondo restore black from walmart. One bottle will last years and it turns your grey trim rich satin black. Not shiny like armor all. It's like black finger paint. It doesn't remove oxidization but deposits black pigment in the pores of plastic. Don't paint plastic it out gasses and will bubble up over time.
Ps it's in the paint and bondo section not the car cleaning stuff

I have both. Back to black isn't bad. Better than armor all like products, but restore black is way better. I think gm even used it on an avalanche recall to fix their greying plastic body panels. If it wasn't Bondo brand it was the same idea differennt brand. I researched this a while back. Couldn't find much either. I scrubbed with vinegar as I read that worked. It didnt. I dont know of any other ways..
Restore black isn't permanent. They advertise 6 months. I've had mine that long and redid it today. It was a small improvement because it didn't fade but a small bit this whole time

I doubt it'll last very long, but it's worth a shot, plus, the smell would be amazing!

Try this:
Restoring The Look of Your Pontiac Firebird - Weatherstripping Revamp
You don't have to use the Back to Black, use what ever you want.
DO NOT SAND THE T-TOP TRIM - just put the product on there.
Also, tape off everything before putting the Back to Black, etc, it will be incredibly easier to coat the trim.
