I was searching the forum but can't find any info. I see guys on youtube using a heat gun to treat the faded plastic and considering this as well as doing some kind of sealant.
Has anyone found a long term solution to the faded plastic on the exterior.
Thank you for the help  :wave:
 
Look here in detailing section and maybe the MODS:Cladding section.

Some say it works but ultimately fade comes back and you can burn it if not careful.

Longest term solution is Refinish Restorer
 
Good luck with the restorer you bought. I use Meguiars Ultimate Black and it works really well! It fades after a couple months, but doesn't take long to reapply . https://www.meguiars.com/automotive/products/ultimate-black
 
Good choice Gaurang, many members have used the Refinish Restorer with good results. Key to any product is doing the right prep work, here is some helpful tips from the company:

Don't use heat gun.. Will destroy your plastic.. Lasts for about a year then the plastic starts to flake off....
