As stupid as it sounds, something that works really well on faded black plastic is shoe polish. I read it years ago and used it on my faded Bronco top and it worked really well. I have used it on faded black trim in the past also. Maybe give that a shot also.

On another note..Armoral makes your plastic fade in the sun. I use leather wipes on my mirrors and scoops. Try that also.

I use a trim polish, called 'Back to Black' from mothers
However, it can be used on all plastic... but it worked wonders on my chin spoiler!

I use the same thing for my mirrors, cowl panel, and scoops. Works great for me.
