paint it
buy a new one
try something like back to black. It's temporary, you'll have to keep re-applying.

Works like a charm - but as Jedi said, you'll eventually have to reapply.

Rumor has it that Jedi uses the peanut butter trick on his entire car........Can it be true?

How can something that has to be applied every 6 months work amazing?

Paint or flame... at least they're more durable.

Auto Finesse Revive.

Or is it Rejuvinate? I cant remember. One of them.

Once a year, beads well, no residue so dirt wont stick to it.

Buy some Kyrlon plastic spray paint. Make sure it is flat black and taken them off and spray them. Its a permenant repair. Did mine four years ago and still looks nice.

I use 303 Aerospace Protectant, it's a high quality plasticizer so it protects the plastic for a while.
