My old 04 fx4 had all the black pretty much turn white, I've used mothers, and wipe new but neither of them lasted very long. Then I read about using a heat gun and gave it a shot and it lasted much longer. The cowl on the old truck was the worst but a heat gun brought it back and lasted months. I traded it in and the black was still better than when I bought it (it was used). I find most products don't last or even work all that well, but the heat gun melts a layer off it acually worked very well. Just figured I'd throw my 2 cents in.
