Default Trim Question

On my trim on the front and rear quarter panels it appears to be faded ( show's it in pic). Just wondering what i can do to restore it . I've tried tire shine, even wax, but the wax only turns it white. Any sugestions? Thanks.

I dont really want to paint it because it wouldn't match the rest of the trim.

There are a few options for a trim restorer. 1) Poorboy's Trim Restore 2)Migliore Brillant Trim Protectant, and numerous others at local shops, but these are my two favorites.

Here's one of Poorboy's Trim Restore:

And one of Migliore Trim Protectant:

Look for a product called Back to black, it works by far the best out of anything i have tryed. I beleave its easy to get ahold of. Make sure you scrub the trim down with some sos pads b4 you use any of these products, for the best outcome.

I have tried some protectant, but it doesn't work very well.
