Carplan bumper gel as mentioned before is great. Used it on mine and stayed black for 6 months and that was with the car being washed once a week!!.

Back to Black doesnt really do the trick for me, put loads of applications on and it just leaves marks.

Heard that if you heat them up with a heat gun they will return close to the black colour, and then if you spray them back to black when hot they will absorb it.

I use this car plan stuff, works a treat but you get it all over your hands! The kid who owned my car before me didn't have a clue about washing, polishing, or anything like it and mine were all faded grey/white but this stuff worked after a few coats.

I have had to replace my front two arches (they're plastic, the car has pre 97 bumpers) and the 2 on the rear have turned grey, one almost white.
At the same time in replacin' the fronts I have decided to replace the rear but would really like to keep them all black.
Is there anything I can buy to rub on them to stop the rain/weather, whatever it is that makes them fade from doing it.
Thanks in advance.
