So I tried searching around but couldn't find anything... maybe I suck at searching.

At any rate, I am trying to clean my exterior up a bit, its been threw a beating. I noticed around the window that black part under the window (I guess its weather stripping) has discoloration and fading...



Looks fine from far, but up close...



When I feel it, it feels raised. But I've tried washing, scrubbing, detail spray, any other suggestions? Also, does back to black work pretty well for fading plastic pieces? Thanks

303 Protectant to prevent that from happening.

I have used Back to Black by mothers and it works wonders!

I guess I'll have to get that stuff as well I usually just put some protectant on it but it's still visible just more black....

UV damage, typical when you dont protect it.... i like to use turtle ice on all plastic exterior trim, keeps it looking wet for few weeks as well as giving some protection. infact i bet if you used turtle ice even now, it will hide the faded look very well.

I'm going to try the back to black on the plastic and get some protectant for it. I'll try scrubbing that stuff off and putting protectant on the weather stripping too.

So the back on black just makes it streaky and darker colored.... and I hear the back to black also wipes off if the surface you are applying it to is really smooth??

I applied that back to black stuff to the parts you are pointing out and it came out a lit bit better.
