Same problem here.
Mine were white but after applying back to black many times they turned grey - still not black though!
Think to be honest mine were past the point of no return.
The only thing you can do really is get new arches mate

we used to use some really greasy stuff that went right in and did make them black and shine nice then dulled down to normal black
also heard from other valeters to heat the rear arches and they do return to black with a heat gun

The mouldings are screwed onto the arch itself.. just have a feel underneath the arch and you'll have some plastic nuts to remove.. think there are 5 or 6 of these (memory is going). Once you've got them screwed off, the bumper and arch are pushed into one another.. pop them apart and the moulding will just come off.
