Brown trim...CAnnot make black again
I have found a few things that work. For a pretty much permanent fix there is always painting them. For an easier fix that requires routine use, I have found that a product called Back To Black works well. What I am using now is the same stuff I use on my tires. It's that spray on and forget it Armor-All. I wipe down the bumbers, mirrors and any trim that I put it on. I wash my truck once a week and usually reapply it after I wash and before I wax. It usually will last a couple of weeks without reapplication though. I have heard that warm peanut butter will remove wax on the plastic, but I haven't tried it personally.

Jim, I am also from the bayou, and know the uses of Duct tape and spray paint, and WD 40, they can fix anything. But they do not come NEAR my new truck!

I once used Turtle Wax Tire wax on all my black plastic but I guess the executives decided they'd make more money selling a spray on that has to be reapplied every 3 days rather than a cream that would survive a pressure sprayer attack.
Eagle One just came out with a new tire spray that looks promising, it worked good on my plastic as well. Comes in a big blue spray bottle, should be in just about every Walmart by now.

they sell a vinyl trim restorer. It may be back to black or a similar one.
