Exterior door handles

The black ones on my '00 Ranger are turning a milky white. What can I use to turn them back to black? I've tried Mothers Back to Black, but it only lasts for a little while. Should I just break down and buy new handles?

Once they reach a certain point, it's really hard to get them back. My tailgate tried to turn grey on me, and I worked the back to black in with a tooth brush and then covered with mother's protectant. The brushing helps remove the loose trash that turning the color, but you will have to reapply it frequently for it to take hold.

New handles or maybe even Krylon's plastic specific paint are going to be the sure fire options though.

Thanks, Looks like it may be a paint job coming.

I see that there is one place in Oklahoma that carries it. Next time I'm in the Tulsa area, I'll have to stop in and take a look. Have you tried their tire product? Does it make the tires shiny, or a nice clean black? I hate shiny greasy looking tires.

I have never used any of the tire gel. I cant stand that shiny grease look either. If you want clean tires that look good I use 100% full strength purple power and apply it on a dry tire. Something about using it on a dry tire really makes a difference. You'll actually see the dirt and grim just pouring out of the tire then scrub and rinse.
