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.

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.
