Black/Grey door handles

What are you guys using to bring the color back on your faded black door handles and trim?
TIA

Smooth peanut butter . . . sounds kinky!!

I stopped using Armorall long ago (too many negative stories). I prefer 303 Aerospace Protectant, it's not easy to find, but I've found it at my local Ace hardware store and Camping World.

X2, I also use it on my headlights/tail lights to keep them clear/unfaded...
Heck, I also use it for the dashboard and pretty much anything plastic thats in the sun's sights...

That is what I ended up doing. Powdercoated some aftermarket polished aluminum handles.

Stock painted handles some where in the garage.

I am going to go with the billet ones. I have several to choose from, just don't know what direction I am going with the truck as of yet. Thinking of a tribal flame that is gun metal gray against the pearl black. might go with a tribal flame handle and bucket.

I tried that Turtle Wax Ice. You can put it on plastic and it wont turn white. It does restore the shine to the handles. There was some graying on my parents Silverado and it cleared it up fine.

Its worth a shot!
