Front Inner Fender Liner Faded
The top of my inner fenders have portions that are faded almost white from like salt or something. Anyone know what to use to bring the black back out? Tried a few product to no avail. Picture is for reference.

I think the stuff called Wipe New might do the trick.

For a more permanent fix, I would suggest using a heat gun. You need to be careful and not get too close to it though. Once the plastic heats up the color will start to re-flow. Once you get started it goes pretty quickly. Let it cool back down naturally

Painted covers are also an option.

Never heard of using a heat gun to bring back the color, but interesting tip.
Covers or a wrap would get it done too and you can select a compatible color for the exterior of your car.

I used the Cerakote Trim Restore. It worked. It looks brand new.

I used a heat gun on a '88 Kawasaki ZX10 that I restored, It had about 36,000 miles and all the black plastic around the dash and fairing was faded and looked like crap. Heat gun brought it back to life quick. Once it was cooled I treated it with some black restore wipe on stuff (can't remember the name). Like the previous post said, don't get to close, don't stay in one place to long. Once it's starts heating you will see the difference pretty quick.
