Arrow Grayed Plastic

The plastic on my 04 F150 truck bed is grayed and I was wondering if there is anything that I coud use that would turn it back to its original color or close to it. In case you're not sure what I'm talking about the plastic on the actual rim of the bed.

I have had good results using 303 Aerospace Protectant. I have also had good results with Meguiars #40 vinyl and rubber cleaner/conditioner. Those are my two favorite products at the moment for use on plastic trim.

I'll second that. I use 303 on everything. I used it on my faded out vinyl house shutters and whoa, what difference. It also has the SPF 40 UV rating.

303 is a fantastic product. Another great one is Vinylex followed closely by #40 - as previously mentioned.

Personally, I avoid products like 'Back to Black' due to running and smearing problems although, I've heard some folks mention that it works quite well without the smear/run -- my experiences with the product have not yielded that type of a result... in fact, I've recently gone through my stash of products and Back to Black was one that got placed in Circular File #13.
