Plastic piece where window wipers go interest

I don't know about any of you but the pieces where the windshield wipers go on my TL are faded and I can't seem to get the shine back. I am going to start a GB on this item. Let me know who is interested. I need 10+ people.
Prices:


# 74225-SEP-A02 $ 19.00
# 74226-SEP-A00 $17.00

This price is shipped.

Back to black worked pretty good for my other car. The shine didn't last very long though. I'd say just paint them.

SEM paint is your best bet it will last years on trim pieces

Thanks. I will try that but I feel that $35 dollars is well worth it since the paint/time and perfection would cost almost the same. Maybe I will use the old ones and test out some products. I have tried several products and its just that the shine never seems to stay for a long time and I find myself doing it over and over.

ya for 35 it might be worth it I haven't had and fading issues on my 06 ye. If you haven't used SEM paints before its well worth trying, they hold up very well and you'll find yourself using it on lots of things i'm sure with the projects you work on.

I noticed a fade in 4 years, but any protectant I have used only lasted maybe a month tops. Maybe if the new ones are ordered we will now know to keep protecting them.

Back to Black works for me, but if yours are faded pretty badly, might as well buy the new pieces for the cheap price.
