I use and swear by Wizard Black Renew. The name is misleading because it is safe on any trim color.

I tried Mothers Back to Black and was impressed with the results. It smells yummy too

Yeah, Back to Black is a good product... That's what I use now, too.

Don't use vinyl protectant - it may look good, but it will leave a filmy residue that looks like ass after a while on the pieces parts.

I use this stuff called BLack Chrome. It also works great if you get white wax residue on any of the black surfaces like side moldings and stuff. It's kind of a syrupy bblackish gray goop, but it keeps everthing black as night.

Black Chrome or Mothers Back-to-Black are the best products I have used. FYI, if you don't allow any products to touch your trim, you will keep it looking better longer. (Hope that makes sense)

Will any of this stuff work after the top of my bumper is already turning lighter??

Also, what about the steering wheel? Mine is kinda turning lighter too...can I use that stuff on the interior as well????

Midnite, I have found it works for me. Do you use a sun thingy in the window to protect it from the harmful rays. I used one all the time when I lived in NM.

Or just move to Seattle. We don't get enough sun for anything to fade.

Midnight.

Either product I currently mentioned might be helpful, but no guarantee. Try a little on a small area, it won't make it worse, of that I am sure. And NEVER let those folks at Car Washes put interior dressing on ANYTHING in your car.
