the faded look gets annoying. I've used turtle wax ice liquid polish before and it works, but it doesn't last long.
what's the best lasting (cheap) way to get them dark again?

It's going to be hard to do after slathering a bunch of products on it, but I saw someone who used a bunch of degreaser and such and then painted his cowl trim black. It looked amazing.- Brian Meissen

Refinish Restorer. I have had this stuff on my 95's cowl for 2yrs. Still looks good. Bought it to do my avalanche...works good on that tooComment

heat gun - you can briefly melt the surface of the plastic to make it shine again.-Joel

I pulled mine off and spray painted them

I would say this is the best way to "restore" them, after a good bath with some TSP.Originally posted by formula218 View Post'91 Camaro Modded, LSx, House of Kolor Intense White, lowered, GS chrome 18" wheels, 14" Brembo CTS-V on all 4 corners, LS rear end, FP suspension components

The ice polish works good for a little while. If you want that dark color permanently, painting them would be the way to go.
I used matrix bumper/trim paint on my car.

alright so I used some foaming engine degreaser that I had laying around the other day and it worked pretty well. I am considering doing the heat gun thing as well, but I heard it doesn't last that long?sigpic

smoothed ,filled extra vent holes and painted mine.I would just paint I have probably 20 hours in mine with all the hand sanding but if cleaned paint holds up pretty good. not sure with camaros but had to remove wipers to get cowls off so also something else to consider.
