Dye them using a company like hitech. Those restore products never last.

I haven't used it yet, but I watch Ammo NYC on YouTube. He is a great detailer and I just ordered Frame Pro, which is a Ceramic trim coat which is supposed to be good for two years.

I used Cerakote on the plastic cowl of my TA and it worked pretty well. A little bit of streaking so I did a second application. Has held up well.

Carpro Dlux I did the rubber seals, anything black plastic including under the hood. All of the trim. It looks fantastic and you can use it on your hard plastics dash etc inside the car as well if want to.

Solution Finish would be a very good option. It is an actual trim restorer. If you want to add more longevity then purchase their over the top sealant. If it is an interior piece solution finish by itself will last a very long time before you have to reapply.

It is good stuff and I have used it for years, but Dlux makes no mess like Solution does and will last as long if not longer since it’s a coating. I will be curious to see how many years I get out of it.

I have used DLUX many time and the issue is DLUX will fade over time and no trim restoration product will work to restore the plastic trim as the ceramic has sealed off the pores. By sealing off the pores, solution finish can not penetrate into the plastic. So Solutio Finish may be messy but it is still the way to go for plastic.
