alright you probally wont believe this but... i searched the net and came across a thread where this guys said that he used peanut butter thats right peanut butter! in his post he explains how the peanut oil helps bring back the color so i said BS but i tried it in a small area on the side molding and half way around the back of the car. well 1 week later the area i did is still black as new even after the rain we had. i did'nt think it would work at all but hey it did. i still don't believe it worked
