Default Side Molding help.....

The side molding on my Firehawk if faded to a yellow tint (color is white). Are there any products out there that will help take away the yellowish tint and bring back the white sparkle to match the rest of the car?

I would like to avoid just removing the molding, but I may end up having to go this route if I can't find an easy solution.

All help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
John

Why not just remove them and leave them off? I took mine off my old 2000 WS6 because the previous owner scuffed one with a buffer and the car looked much better without them!

I had a white 94 formula that probably had the same side mouldings. I was planning to just paint them. When I started to sand it down, to my surprise, it was moulded in the white.

Just sand it and it'll be back to a bright white (test a spot first though).
