Question Black Plastic Trim Fading

Hello Acura RDX owners! I hope all is well with everyone!
I have a 2016 RDX AWD and the black plastic trim is fading to a pale blackish color. I know there are sever options like Back to Black, etc. I was wondering what do you use and what is the best chemical on the market for to solve this issue? TIA!

the best chemical I have found is a ceramic coat.


any of the "back to black" options, will just wash off over time and you are left with the grey sun faded trim.

a ceramic coating will not wash off and returns the deep blacks to plastic trim, all the while making it hydrophobic

It's simple, you watched the video and bought what you liked best.

Have actually found TurtleWax as a decent one among the low cost options. Plenty of YouTube comparos that seem to point at Ceramic as having the best longevity.

Tried several on my RDX and other cars over the years. This has been fantastic, ceramic as mentioned. Did the entire car including the cowl cover, with one wipe about a year ago. Still looks great.
