every dressing that i have used has worked great but i have found that when it rains there are streaks running down the paint below from the trim pieces that i treated.they are most annoying.

How did you make out?

I just did the door moldings on the truck with Adams VRT. I'll let you know how it works out.

Run a heat gun over the faded area, but be sure not to melt the plastic. It works every time.

The "Back to Black" and "Ice" work pretty good. But if that doesnt work just go down to AutoZone and get ya some plastic paint, it comes in small spray cans. Had to use it on my Dad's Ford. Just scuff em up with some 1000 grit and spray away. Looks better n new
