Faded exterior plastic trim
 

The exterior dark blue plastic has severely faded on our '02 XC70. Armorall and the like lasts about a day. How can the color be renewed?

As stated I believe before in another thread.

1. Try some of IPD's products.

Is it really a dark blue or is it black? Because if it is blue then do not use Kiwi Shoe Dye since the dye will be black and not blue.

I have also heard the use of linseed oil, check over on Volvospeed, there might be some mor einfo about it over there.

If I were you I would seriously get it painted the same color as your car.

Try "Back to Black" by Mother's

I found it at my local Wal-Mart. ANyway we have an 01 XC70 with the same blue trim that was faded. Like you said, Armor-All and the like only lasted a day. The Mother's stuff has been on there for quite awhile longer and still looks good.

A bottle costs about $5

Good Luck,
