    black trim on edge of truck bed and tailgate faded

    My dad's Ford pickups black bed trim on it and the tailgate is starting to look grayish white and I need help with restoring it to the factory look. The paint is in excellent shape and this black trim on top of the edge of the bed and tailgate makes the truck look like crap. Need your help again!

    Cquartz Dlux or Blackwow Pro for a longer lasting product

    Wolfgang trim sealant for about 6 months or so of protection.

    +1 on CQuartz Dlux but before I would make sure I clean the trim with either a all purpose cleaner or soap for a good bond

    I have yet to try my Dlux, but in December I did these same areas on my Tundra. I washed, then IPA wipe down. Applied solution finish, let cure for about 4 hours then coated with WG trim sealant. Still looks factory fresh and the rain just beads rides off. Once it wears off I will apply Dlux as I have read nothing but great things and Corey sells amazing products.

    There is trim dye you can buy online but I haven't seen something like that offered on AG. It only holds on "grainy" trim that is not smooth to the touch, the grain helps it hold. after a 10/90 Rubbing alcohol wipedown you would apply it, let it dry for 5 minutes then apply a trim dressing you prefer.

    Solution Finish and Forever Black are both dye products for textured plastics. Both are sold at AG.

    I use Showroom New dye and have had good luck with it. AG does not sell it though.
